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

In the forgotten realms of ancient magic, a land faces the threat of siege, and it's up to you, as one of its legendary guardian beasts, to stand as its protector. Indie developer Kieran Dennis Hartnett has just released Eldermyth on iOS, offering a profound and mysterious high-score roguelike experience that emphasizes both exploration and defense.

Drawing inspiration from the intricate designs of Michael Brough, creator of games like 868-HACK and Cinco Paus, Eldermyth is a turn-based strategy roguelike, often referred to as a 'broughlike'. Your mission is to safeguard the native villagers and pristine lands from invading colonizers. But it's not just about brute force; you'll need to cleverly use the terrain, manipulate shifting weather patterns, and leverage your beast's unique abilities to outsmart your adversaries on a procedurally generated grid.

Each beast in Eldermyth follows its own set of rules. Some may flourish in the forest, while others gain power under stormy skies. Every choice you make is a delicate balance. Should you pursue the invaders immediately or set up for a potent combo in the next turn? With five different terrain types, dynamic weather cycles, and four distinct enemy types, each with unique strategies, every move you make is critical.

While the game's mechanics are intentionally kept enigmatic, Eldermyth encourages players to experiment. Through repeated plays, you'll gradually unveil deeper strategic layers. If you're not into trial and error, an in-game guide is available to reveal these hidden rules. Regardless of your approach, the excitement of maximizing your beast's potential remains fresh and engaging.

For those who thrive on competition or enjoy seeing their names at the top of the charts, Eldermyth features local and Game Center leaderboards to keep track of your high scores. Additionally, for late-night gaming sessions, the game offers a full dark mode theme to ensure visual comfort.
