Buy The Amazing American Circus PC key

The Amazing American Circus is about rescuing a run-down travelling circus and building it into an entertainment empire. You recruit performers, manage your circus camp, travel across Gilded Age America and put on shows to win over audiences while challenging industry giants such as P.T. Barnum and Buffalo Bill.

Story and setting

The story takes place during the final days of the Wild West, where history meets magical realism, Native American folklore and the stories of immigrant communities. You travel through four regions of the continental United States, visiting 90 cities and towns and taking on 21 story-related side quests. Along the way, you encounter mythical creatures such as the Wendigo and Bigfoot, as well as historical figures including Susan B. Anthony, Nikola Tesla, Queen Victoria and John D. Rockefeller. Four powerful opponents stand in your way, including P.T. Barnum, Buffalo Bill and Queen Victoria.

Perform for the crowd

Shows play out as card duels between you and the audience. You use more than 200 hand-illustrated performance and trick cards, judging the crowd’s mood as you choose your plays: an act that earns cheers in the Deep South might draw jeers in the industrial North. There are 32 types of audience to entertain, and 10 Grand Finale finisher actions.

Build your troupe

Recruit and train more than 15 types of performers, including mimes, strongmen and acrobats. You can also collect 16 Misfits in the Bizarre Baazaar wagon. The variety of artists and the feats they perform help shape the show you take on the road.

Manage the circus

You manage resources and build a camp to support the travelling show. The circus caravan has eight types of wagon, with 18 unique upgrades available between them and more than 100 modifications and upgrade options for the caravan as a whole.

Music and atmosphere

The soundtrack draws on classic circus music and American country and folk traditions, with 60 minutes of music inspired by styles from different parts of the United States.
