Circus Electrique Review – An Electrifying Exhibit

Welcome, one and all, to a land where misfits and machines coexist. Set in the Victorian era of London, Circus Electrique is a tactical story-driven RPG and a circus management sim rolled into one, where you’re given the responsibility of presiding over Circus Electrique and its inhabitants while simultaneously uncovering the reason behind why a majority of London’s population have suddenly turned into cold-blooded killers.

[...]

Circus Electrique is enjoyable not only for its accurate depiction of the Victorian era aesthetic but also for its distinctive class and combat system and flexibility found in creating lineup combinations. The idea behind the game’s creation is innovative, but what it offers in creativity lacks execution. Several thematic elements make it stand out from typical genre tropes, yet I can’t help but feel that it would have been better served if it had focused on polishing its foundation.

So, tell everyone to spread the news that the high-flying and electrifying Circus Electrique is in town.

Score: 7/10

Circus Electrique - Release Day and Review

by Hiddenx, 14:29

The tactical RPG Circus Electrique will be released today:

Circus Electrique

Named for the greatest show in Victorian steampunk London, 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, only the circus’ lineup of Strongmen, Fire Blowers, Clowns and other performers possess the unique talents necessary to save the city. Through tactical turn-based battles, these unlikely heroes face Bobbies, British Sailors gone bad, aggressive Posh Girls, and other Victorian-era archetypes stand in their way – not to mention the occasional menacing Mime or Robobear. The game’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.

Key Features:

  • Electrifying RPG Combat
    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. Assemble the most ideal combination of acrobatic artists to fight against over-the-top enemies.
  • Manage the Greatest Show in Steampunk London
    Despite 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. 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.
  • A Circus Like No Other
    Immerse yourself in a striking world based on vintage circus posters, Victorian-era archetypes and classic steampunk charm.
