About this game

A steampunk-inspired story-driven role-playing game with elements of tactics and circus management, Circus Electrique is utterly captivating. Only the show’s talented actors have the abilities required to save the city when common Londoners mysteriously transform into ruthless killers.

• Test your strength against Strongmen, Fire Blowers, Escape Artists, Clowns, and other traditional circus performers. There are a total of 15 playable archetypes, each with a wide range of tactical options.
• Recruit and train the most talented performers arriving from all over the world to help the circus be rebuilt to its former greatness and beyond. You’ll need every spare Shilling you can find, both for Amelia’s quest and to keep everyone paid and content. The financial success of a single show is determined by the performers’ skill, chemistry with one another, and overall Devotion.
• Experience a captivating world based on vintage circus posters, Victorian-era archetypes, and traditional steampunk charm.

Reviews

Although Circus Electrique has its intriguing quirks, with the reliance on devotion and the occasional circus-management opportunity, too many flaws accompany them. With most of its story revolving around combat, it soon becomes an annoyance rather than an enjoyable element. The game does offer refreshing and unique twists on the genre; still, there’s a lack of drive to keep you wanting to fight through London’s steampunk streets. The story grips you initially, but it takes a while to develop and a lot of the initial dialogue is wasted on family feuds which offer no real substance. To fans of turn-based strategy and those who loved Darkest Dungeon, Circus Electrique may be more enjoyable, but it’s a little too disjointed and repetitive to recommend wholeheartedly.
