"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 recently released Eldermyth on iOS, offering a deep and mysterious high-score roguelike experience that blends discovery with defense.

Drawing inspiration from the innovative designs of Michael Brough (868-HACK, Cinco Paus), Eldermyth is a turn-based strategy roguelike, often referred to as a "broughlike," that challenges you to protect native villagers and pristine lands from invading colonizers.

Instead of direct confrontation, you'll need to leverage the land's terrain, adapt to changing weather patterns, and master your beast's unique abilities to outsmart the enemy on a procedurally generated grid.

Each creature operates under different rules. One might excel in the forest, while another gains power from stormy skies. Every decision is a delicate balance. Should you pursue invaders now or set up for a potent combo next turn? With five terrain types, dynamic weather cycles, and four distinct enemy types, each with its own strategy, every move is critical.

While the core mechanics are intentionally obscure, Eldermyth encourages experimentation. You'll gradually uncover deeper strategic layers through repeated runs. If you prefer a quicker path to understanding, an in-game guide is available to reveal the hidden rules. Regardless, the excitement of optimizing your beastly potential remains fresh.

For those who enjoy competition or simply want to see their name at the top, Eldermyth features local and Game Center leaderboards to track your high scores. Additionally, a full dark mode theme is available for those who prefer their mythic battles with enhanced visual comfort during late-night sessions.
