Cthulhu Saves the World is an improvement on the Breath of Death VII formula in every aspect, we have updated graphics, better maps world map and towns with the option to fly on the world map and interact in a better way with the townfolk, the dungeons are also better with branching paths, possibility to go under above and even interact with the environment. The items are also vastly superior to the previous game in the sense that some items you receive early on can still be useful late game depending on your play style plus you know have the chance to select which members are part of your party. Boss fights are also more complex with enemies having better mechanics however the regular enemies can still feel boring and uninspired as your party can easily overpower them if played right. All in all this is a nice game but it could have much more depth in the rpg mechanics and combat system as it gets old pretty fast even though the game does not overstay its welcome. PS: Another nice thing is the Bonus modes that unlock after you finish the game,
Humorous, retro-styled RPG in which you play as Cthulhu and, with your party, explore dungeons, fight monsters, and develop your characters ✅Character development through leveling, selecting attributes, and skills ✅Party system ,you can choose from a variety of members you've met throughout the story ✅Simple yet challenging combat system ,battles require planning ✅Good graphics for such an old game ✅Lots of equipment ,weapons, items, and spells allow you to develop your party ✅The price is right ✅Various game modes ✅Enjoyable and humorous gameplay ✅Freedom in character building and gameplay ❌Limited exploration, the world isn't particularly open, and the locations are relatively small ✅✅✅ Verdict: Terrible , Bad , Mediocre , Decent , Good , Very Good (Rating scale for short games, retro indie simulator games and similar) If you'd like to see more of my reviews, you can find them on my curator page: [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45994324/admin/reviews_manage/]CuratorKingViking and on my group: [url=https://steamcommunity.com/groups/CuratorKingViking]GroupKingViking If you have any questions about my reviews, feel free to ask. I'm happy to answer them. All reviews are my own!! Best regards, King Viking Bezimienny, Polish Game Reviewer.
There's something undeniably charming about watching these Lovecraftian monsters beat each other up like they're characters in a comic book. In terms of story and world design the game is still pretty basic, but the battles themselves can get pretty intense if you don't know what you're doing. I'd definitely recommend playing Breath of Death VII first to get a feel for the combat mechanics before diving into this one.
