This plays a role in both combats and circus shows (the higher the Devotion, the better the show). Moving along the path you’ll find chests with items, mini-games, short conversation cutscenes, and battles against the Vicious.Ĭircus Electruque’s combat mechanic also introduces a Devotion gauge which indicates the performers’ morale. This blend of mechanics will have you wearing several hats and progresses in a similar fashion: a region in the map of London unlocks and you’ll have to move across a path (there are some branching options) until you reach a destination. While plot and premise are original and help keep the intrigue going, Circus Electrique’s main focus is clearly the gameplay which is a mix of circus management and turn-based battles. The newspaper clippings at the end of battles also provide further lore in each issue. As Amelia progresses in her investigation, she’ll come across fellow Londoners, performers and journalists that flesh out the game’s universe. The artstyle, soundtrack and film grain filter emulate the retro vibe and the voice acted cutscenes and original battle animation add to the presentation of the title. With its steampunk Victorian London setting, Circus Electrique delivers an interesting and original premise in the backdrop of a city-wide mystery.
