ZEN STUDIOS & SABER INTERACTIVE REVEAL CIRCUS ELECTRIQUE
This original, turn-based, tactical RPG set in steampunk Victorian London will arrive on Steam, Epic Games Store, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, Xbox One, & Nintendo Switch in 2022
Zen Studios has revealed an original new video game and IP: Circus Electrique. Published by Saber Interactive, this turn-based, tactical RPG is expected to launch in 2022 on Steam, the Epic Games Store, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.
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 will face Bobbies, British Sailors gone bad, aggressive Posh Girls, and other Victorian-era archetypes standing 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 in 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 – there are 14 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 from all over the world. Performers’ skill, chemistry with one another, and overall Devotion combine to determine the success of a single show – and you’ll need every single spare Shilling you can get 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.
