"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, often referred to as a "broughlike," that challenges you to protect native villagers and untouched land from invading colonizers.

In Eldermyth, you won't just fight 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 operates under different rules. One might thrive in the forest, while another gains strength from stormy skies. Every decision is a balancing act: do you chase invaders now or position yourself for a powerful combo next turn? With five terrain types, dynamic weather cycles, and four distinct enemy types, each with its own agenda, every move is crucial.

While the core mechanics are intentionally obscure, Eldermyth rewards experimentation. You'll gradually uncover deeper layers of strategy through repeated runs. If you prefer to bypass the trial-and-error, an in-game guide is available to reveal the hidden rules. Either way, the thrill of optimizing your beastly potential will keep you engaged.

For those who enjoy competition or simply want to see their name at the top, Eldermyth supports local and Game Center leaderboards to track your high scores. And for late-night gaming sessions, a full dark mode theme is available to ensure visual comfort.
