Circus Electrique, a steampunk-flavored RPG with circus elements is coming to PC and consoles on September 6th.
The blurb reads:
“Circus Electrique is part story-driven RPG, part tactics, part circus management, and completely enthralling – all with a steampunk twist. When everyday Londoners mysteriously turn into vicious killers, it’s up to the circus’ lineup of Strongmen, Fire Blowers, Clowns, and other performers to save the city in tactical turn-based 4v4 battles. With 15 playable classes in total, each with their own eccentric skill-sets, you’ll need to carefully assemble your motley crew in order to save the city.”
Technically, this is a brand new concept and it sounds great on paper, for sure.
The game also offers a range of different combat options:
“Test the skills of Strongmen, Fire Blowers, Escape Artists, Clowns, and other classic circus performers – there are 15 playable archetypes in total, each with deep tactical options in battle. Assemble the most ideal combination of acrobatic artists to fight against over-the-top enemies.”
And we have some circus management elements as well:
“Despite the chaos, the show must go on! Rebuild the circus to its former greatness and beyond, recruiting and training the most talented performers from all over the world.”
Circus Electrique is coming to PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC on September 6th. You can check out the trailer below:
