Publisher Saber Interactive, together with developers from Zen Studios, last year announced the turn-based tactical role-playing strategy Circus Electrique. This project turns the circus control into a fascinating steampunk adventure. And now we know the exact release date of the strategy about the circus – 6th of September.
According to the plot, ordinary Londoners have turned into vicious murderers, and only the talented artists of Circus Electrique managed to avoid this unenviable fate. The player along with the survivors will have to fight in turn-based battles against crazy policemen, crazy sailors, aggressive fairies and other characters of the Victorian era. And the never-before-seen loyalty system in Circus Electrique will affect not only the behavior of the performers in battle, but also the circus performances in between heroic adventures in the six districts.
“Let chaos rage in the city, and performances on schedule! Bring the circus back to its former glory by hiring and training talented performers from around the world. Their skills, relationships with each other, and loyalty to you determine the proceeds of the show, and you can use every shilling – not only for Amelia’s difficult task, but also to pay the performers, or they’ll get sad.”,” reads the game’s description.
The fighters here are strongmen, fire tamers, escapists, clowns, and other classic circus performers. There will be a total of 15 archetypes, each with multiple tactics. It’s up to the player to assemble the perfect squad and fight back against insane enemies.
The tactical strategy game Circus Electrique will be released on PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch.
