Navigating through the game's overworld between battles would be enjoyable if different events or circumstances popped up to keep the gameplay from getting stale.

The animations quickly go from fun and quirky to tiresome as the novelty of the battle system wears thin. Since it's a tactical role-playing game (RPG), the battles you'll encounter are either painfully slow (where enemies will be constantly thrown at you or heal themselves in a loop that keeps some battles going indefinitely) or insultingly easy (where encounters require little thought or technique). This wouldn't be a problem if it weren't for the fact that it mishandles all the gameplay aspects it's trying desperately to juggle. Circus Electrique otherwise comes across as 'diet Darkest Dungeon' rather than doing much on its own. Immerse yourself in a striking world based on vintage circus posters, Victorian-era archetypes and classic steampunk charm.One of the game's few bright spots, unfortunately, is its story, which is the only properly built-up element at play here. Performers’ skill, chemistry with one another, and overall Devotion combine to determine the monetary success of a single show – and you’ll need every single spare Shilling you can get both for Amelia’s quest and to keep everyone paid and happy. Manage the Greatest Show in Steampunk Londonĭespite the chaos, the show must go on! Rebuild the circus to its former greatness and beyond, recruiting and training the most talented performers coming in from all over the world. Assemble the most ideal combination of acrobatic artists to fight against over-the-top enemies. Test the skills of Strongmen, Fire Blowers, Escape Artists, Clowns, and other classic circus performers – 15 playable archetypes total, each with deep tactical options in battle. Circus Electrique’s innovative Devotion morale system affects characters’ performance not only in battles, but also for actual circus shows, dutifully managed between heroic jaunts through six sprawling districts.

Crazed Bobbies, British Sailors gone bad, aggressive Posh Girls, and other Victorian-era archetypes stand in their way. The “Greatest Campaign Mode on Earth'' places these talented individuals in tactical turn-based battles.

When everyday Londoners mysteriously turn into vicious killers, only Circus Electrique's talented performers can save the city. Named for an alternate-history London’s most famous entertainment, Circus Electrique combines enthralling, story-driven RPG tactics and circus management with a steampunk twist.
