Circus Electrique
Circus Electrique is a story-based role-playing game with tactics and management elements as well as a large portion of steampunk. Inexplicably, all of London’s citizens become cruel murderers. The only hope for salvation is a group of eccentric showmen who are not only talented in acrobatics but also in combat.
Tactical battles: There are 15 different types of showmen or classes with different strengths and weaknesses. These not only add an additional tactical layer to turn-based combat, but also impact your day-to-day operations.
Circus management: Saving England’s main stand will not finance itself and so you will continue to depend on the success of your circus shows. The better the chemistry between your actors, the more dedication and money you will receive as a reward.
