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

A forgotten land steeped in ancient magic is under siege, and it falls to you, one of its legendary guardian beasts, to stand against the invaders. Indie developer Kieran Dennis Hartnett has just released Eldermyth on iOS, introducing 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 confront the enemy head-on. You'll need to strategically utilize 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 Eldermyth operates under different rules. Some may thrive in the forest, while others draw strength from stormy skies. Every decision requires careful consideration—do you pursue 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 strategy, every move is crucial.

While the core mechanics are intentionally kept mysterious, Eldermyth rewards players for experimenting. You'll gradually uncover deeper layers of strategy through repeated runs. Alternatively, for those who prefer less trial-and-error, an in-game guide is available to reveal the hidden rules. Either way, the thrill of optimizing your beastly potential remains ever-present.

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