This was such an enjoyable bite-sized RPG! I loved the humor and the character designs. Not to mention the fact that it was exactly what I was looking for to kill a small block of time in my day. The gameplay was fun and interesting too with the one-time use skill mechanic, without ever becoming overwhelming (which stuff like that tends to make me fear). Also grateful that all achievements can be gotten on any difficulty. Great for casuals or sweats alike. I'm totally recommending it to my friends. Probably gifting it a few times as well so everyone has the chance to give this a try!
Good game. Pretty fun fun. It plays kind of like Pokemon, looks good for a 2D RPG, and Cthulhu saving Christmas is exactly as charming as it sounds with a unique twist. There are cat ears in this game. I saw them in the item list and my heart soared. I thought: finally. Cthulhu, ancient eldritch abomination, wearing little cat ears on his 2D sprite. That's the content I'm here for. Turns out, they're a battle item. You use them to charm an enemy. That's it. They don't break, they are just a constant reminder of pure sadness. The developers hand-drew a whole game and not one frame of Cthulhu in cat ears exists anywhere in it. I'm not angry. Just disappointed ;( Still, good game. Would recommend.
Cthulhu Saves Christmas, I bought this charming little game a few years ago to be honest, but finally in the year 2025 (as Christmas is around the corner) I've played it. While short, it has been very fun. One night as iconic Eldritch horror, Cthulhu himself sleeps in his sunken city, he receives an unexpected gift, unfortunately it saps his powers and so he must save Santa Claus from the League of Christmas Evil. Joining great Cthulhu on his quest are Crystal Claus, granddaughter of Santa who indulges in Christmas oriented puns and word play, the young chicken obsessed witch, Baba-Yaga and Belsnickel, an old friend of Santa who loves candy... and attacking naughty children. The writing for this game is, as with most other Zeboyd RPGs, witty and self-aware with the mixture of Lovecraftian madness and Christmas cheer adding to the charm this game is stuffed to the brim with. On the gameplay side of things, it is turn-based but each dungeon has a set number of encounters to prevent overwhelm (With the option of the battle button in the menu if you want more EXP). Battles take notes from Cosmic Star Heroine in that each party member has elements like powers that need recharging and hyper modes that boost your powers, combined with different enemy types often synergizing rather well with one another making most combat encounters rather engaging (I played on Insane difficulty BTW). Another aspect of the game is the 'Life-sim Lite' element. Instead of traversing across a big world map going to one town or dungeon after another, you spend time in Christmas Town, where the party rests while they find leads on Santa's whereabouts. You have a couple days between dungeons to decide which places Cthulhu spends his days, giving different rewards based on the locale. As with the rest of the game's writing, these sections embrace its strange premise for comedy gold. It's short, it's jolly, It's funny and Lovecraftian. If you want something to blaze through this holiday season (Or perhaps the next one), you can't go wrong with Cthulhu Saves Christmas :)
This game made my night.. the dialogue lines are HILARIOUS, and Cthulhu is adorable haha. I kinda want to play it again just to take screenshots of some great lines I missed, lol. You can finish it in one sitting, plus you can focus on the story or do a more challenging run by increasing the difficulty, which you can adjust at any point in the game. Next time, we save the world!
