Eldermyth: Turn-Based Roguelike Hits iOS

A tactical roguelike adventure where you defend indigenous villagers from relentless threats
Embody mythical guardian beasts - the last hope for this enchanted realm
Dynamic gameplay with diverse creatures, weather systems, and enemy factions that demand constant adaptation

An ancient realm pulsating with forgotten magic faces invasion, and as one of its legendary guardian beasts, you stand as the final defense. Independent developer Kieran Dennis Hartnett has launched Eldermyth on iOS, delivering a richly complex roguelike that blends discovery with strategic protection challenges.

Drawing inspiration from Michael Brough's innovative designs (868-HACK, Cinco Paus), Eldermyth reimagines the "broughlike" genre as a turn-based tactical experience where you shield both native inhabitants and pristine landscapes from colonial forces.

Combat requires more than brute force - you'll manipulate terrain advantages, harness unpredictable weather systems, and leverage your beast's unique capabilities to outmaneuver enemies across ever-changing battle grids.

Each guardian spirit operates under distinct ecological rules - forests might empower some creatures, while others draw vitality from tempestuous weather. Strategic choices become crucial: immediate confrontation versus setting up devastating future attacks. With five terrain variations, evolving weather patterns, and four specialized enemy factions pursuing different objectives, every tactical decision carries weight.

While the game deliberately obscures its deeper mechanics, Eldermyth encourages player discovery through experimentation. Multiple playthroughs gradually reveal hidden strategic depths, though an optional in-game guide exists for those preferring direct explanation. Regardless of approach, the satisfaction of mastering your beast's potential remains endlessly engaging.

Competitive players can track their prowess through both local and Game Center leaderboards, while night owls will appreciate the included dark mode for comfortable late-night sessions of mythical warfare.
