Eldermyth: Roguelike RPG Now on iOS
- A turn-based strategy roguelike where you defend indigenous villagers
- As a mythical beast, you are this land's last hope for salvation
- Diverse creatures, changing weather patterns, and various enemy types demand constant adaptation
A realm forgotten by time, rich with ancient sorcery, faces destruction. You, one of its legendary guardian beasts, must become its shield. Independent creator Kieran Dennis Hartnett has just released Eldermyth on iOS, delivering a profound and enigmatic roguelike experience focused equally on strategic discovery and territorial defense.
Drawing inspiration from Michael Brough's ingenious designs (868-HACK, Cinco Paus), Eldermyth is a turn-based tactical roguelike—sometimes called a broughlike—that tasks you with safeguarding native inhabitants and pristine wilderness from encroaching colonizers.

Direct confrontation isn't your only option. You must leverage the landscape's features, capitalize on evolving weather conditions, and perfect your beast's unique skills to outmaneuver foes across randomly generated battlefields.

Every mythical creature operates by distinct principles. While one flourishes in wooded areas, another gains power from tempestuous conditions. Each choice requires careful consideration: should you pursue invaders immediately or set up for a devastating combination attack next round? With five environmental types, dynamic meteorological cycles, and four specialized enemy categories—each pursuing different objectives—every tactical decision carries weight.
Though core game systems remain intentionally mysterious, Eldermyth encourages systematic experimentation. Through repeated attempts, you'll gradually reveal deeper strategic dimensions. For players preferring direct knowledge, an integrated guide unlocks the hidden mechanics. Regardless of approach, the satisfaction of maximizing your beast's capabilities remains endlessly compelling.
Competitive players will appreciate the local and Game Center leaderboards for tracking high scores, while those favoring visual comfort can activate the complete dark mode theme for extended nighttime sessions.
Begin your guardianship by downloading Eldermyth for $2.99 or regional equivalent.
