Description

"Rise of the Elders: Cthulhu" is a tactical RPG for PC and Mobile, inspired by the work of famous novel writer H.P. Lovecraft. It's also an adventure sandbox filled with turn-by-turn combat, and exciting investigations. The game system for Rise of the Elders has been designed with 3 objectives in mind: 1.Create a challenging turn-by-turn combat system that’s wrapped up in a dynamic world full of player choices and infinite progression possibilities. 2. Have a game that’s fast to load and quick to play. We all love playing board games, table top RPGs and console games but we have less and less time to do so. That’s why accessibility is paramount to us. 3.Allow our players to play on both PC and mobile alike, because sometimes we feel like playing with the comfort of a PC screen and sometimes we feel like playing with the mobility of a mobile device. Models: "X-Com", "Call of Cthulhu" (the table-top RPG) and "Eldritch Horror" (the board-game).

History

If you take Lovecraft's books one by one then all you might see is a bunch of horror stories. But if you put all these stories together and look at them as a whole, the global picture is much more epic: you will find yourself contemplating a complete alternative world with its own mythos and lore, an encyclopedia of bizarre creatures, a pantheon of alien gods, a fragile mankind perpetually on the brink of destruction… And that's the angle we are trying to capture in our game. "Rise of the Elders: Cthulhu" definitely isn't yet another survival horror game. Actually, we like to think of it as a mix between "XCOM" (the video game), "Call of Cthulhu" (the table-top RPG) and "Eldritch Horror" (the board-game). If "Rise of the Elders: Cthulhu" is successful we plan to make sequels with a different Elder god each time - hopefully there will be a "Rise of the Elders: Azathoth", "Rise of the Elders: Nyarlathotep", and many others!
