Embark on a thrilling journey into a forgotten realm where ancient magic reigns supreme, and the fate of its native villagers hangs in the balance. In the captivating indie game *Eldermyth*, developed by Kieran Dennis Hartnett, you take on the role of a legendary guardian beast tasked with defending this mystical land from invading colonizers. Now available on iOS, *Eldermyth* delivers a deep, mysterious high-score roguelike experience that blends discovery with strategic defense.

Drawing inspiration from the intricate game designs of Michael Brough, known for titles like *868-HACK* and *Cinco Paus*, *Eldermyth* is a turn-based strategy roguelike, often referred to as a broughlike. Your mission is to protect the native villagers and preserve the untouched land against the relentless advance of invaders.

But this isn't just about brute force. Success in *Eldermyth* requires you to skillfully leverage the terrain, adapt to shifting weather patterns, and master the unique abilities of your chosen beast. Navigate a procedurally generated grid where each move counts, and every decision is crucial. Whether you're a beast that thrives in the forest or one that draws power from stormy skies, your strategy must evolve with the environment and the enemy.

With five distinct terrain types, dynamic weather cycles, and four different enemy types each with their own strategies, *Eldermyth* keeps you constantly on your toes. The game deliberately keeps its mechanics obscure, encouraging players to experiment and uncover the deeper layers of strategy through repeated runs. For those who prefer a more guided approach, an in-game guide is available to unveil the hidden rules, ensuring that optimizing your beast's potential remains an engaging challenge.

Competitive players will appreciate the local and Game Center leaderboards, where you can track and compare your high scores. Additionally, for late-night gaming sessions, *Eldermyth* offers a full dark mode theme to ensure visual comfort.
