About this game

A steampunk-inspired story-driven role-playing game with elements of tactics and circus management, Circus Electrique is utterly captivating. Only the show’s talented actors have the abilities required to save the city when common Londoners mysteriously transform into ruthless killers.

• Test your strength against Strongmen, Fire Blowers, Escape Artists, Clowns, and other traditional circus performers. There are a total of 15 playable archetypes, each with a wide range of tactical options.
• Recruit and train the most talented performers arriving from all over the world to help the circus be rebuilt to its former greatness and beyond. You’ll need every spare Shilling you can find, both for Amelia’s quest and to keep everyone paid and content. The financial success of a single show is determined by the performers’ skill, chemistry with one another, and overall Devotion.
• Experience a captivating world based on vintage circus posters, Victorian-era archetypes, and traditional steampunk charm.

Reviews

Circus Electrique is a great example of how being a “clone” doesn’t mean being boring or bad. You can trace the game’s roots back to Darkest Dungeon, but it has enough of its own charm and style to make it a worthwhile experience on its own merits. It’s more linear and less punishing, which has the potential to make it fair and more accessible than its darker predecessor. I was engaged from start to finish, so it’s well worth your time if you’re looking for something to scratch the classic Darkest Dungeon itch or if you really like the circus aesthetic.

Worth Playing

 

Circus Electrique features a unique take on a blend of genres that are nicely balanced against one another – a fun narrative, slick turn based combat and interesting circus management simulation. The art style (a steampunk take on Victorian London) is easy on the eye and players can customise their game to be as strategic as they like. That said, the gameplay loop can be either too demanding or passively easy if not played on the right difficulty.
