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.

Saving the world in order to destroy it that’s one of the most original and interesting plot setups I’ve ever seen.

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,

Much like it's predecessor, it's a great game in a small package. It's a bit bigger and sillier than last time and is just as fun. The lightning-quick combat is intact and improved with the insanity system. Very much worth it's incredibly low asking price.

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
