"Eldermyth: New Turn-Based Roguelike Launches on iOS"

A forgotten land steeped in ancient magic is under siege, and it's up to you, one of its legendary guardian beasts, to stand in the way. Indie developer Kieran Dennis Hartnett has just released Eldermyth on iOS, offering a deep and mysterious high-score roguelike experience that's as much about discovery as it is about defense.

Inspired by the intricate designs of Michael Brough (868-HACK, Cinco Paus), Eldermyth is a turn-based strategy roguelike, also known as a broughlike, that challenges you to protect native villagers and untouched land from invading colonizers.

In Eldermyth, you won't just confront enemies head-on. You'll need to leverage the land's terrain, adapt to shifting weather patterns, and master your beast's unique abilities to outsmart the enemy across a procedurally generated grid.

Each creature in the game follows different rules. One might excel in the forest, while another gains power from stormy skies. Every decision you make is a delicate balancing act. Should you pursue invaders immediately, or position yourself for a potent combo in the next turn? With five terrain types, dynamic weather cycles, and four distinct enemy types, each with its own strategy, every move is crucial.

While the core mechanics are intentionally kept mysterious, Eldermyth encourages experimentation. You'll gradually uncover deeper layers of strategy through repeated runs. If you prefer to bypass the trial-and-error process, an in-game guide is available to reveal the hidden rules. Regardless of your approach, the excitement of optimizing your beast's potential remains fresh.

For those who thrive on competition or enjoy seeing their name at the top, Eldermyth features local and Game Center leaderboards to track your high scores. Additionally, for those who prefer their mythic battles with a touch of visual comfort, a full dark mode theme is available, making late-night runs easier on the eyes.
