Eldermyth

Eldermyth is a turn-based roguelike about protecting a hidden land inhabited by indigenous villagers and mythical beasts from foreign invaders. You play as one of four beasts, using its powers, the weather and the land to save villagers, drive off invaders and stop them from mining and colonising the land. Your runs are scored, with local and global high-score leaderboards.

Beasts and the land

Each beast has its own rules and powers, and interacts differently with the five land types on the game grid. The land-tile layout is procedurally generated, so each run has a different board. Managing the board involves risk-and-reward strategic decisions.

Weather and invaders

Four dynamic weather cycles affect invader and/or beast behaviour. The four invader types each have their own behaviour and purpose or actions.

Discover the rules

The gameplay mechanics and rules are hidden, with the intention that you discover them over multiple runs. An in-game guide is also available if you want to start with full knowledge of how the game works.
