The happier my acts were the better they performed on the night. Snake Charmers, Fakirs, and Ventriloquists are just a few of the fifteen character types that become available (sometimes after being beaten in combat.) Each performer has likes and dislikes regarding who they work with and this also has to be taken into consideration when planning a performance. The bigger and more acclaimed the show produced the more capital and resources you receive and so on and so on.Īfter originally only being able to hire from a few different types of performers such as Clowns, Strongmen, Fire Eaters, and Escapologists progress through the six different main sections of the city allowed me to discover more exotic acts and add them to my roster. These can be used to increase and upgrade your facilities to produce more highly skilled performers and more complex productions. The more successful you are the more money you make and the more resources you receive from your fans. When it comes to the management part of the title, not only are you building a Circus from the ground up but you are also required to keep an eye on a staggering number of different parameters to be successful. After an event known as the ‘Maddening’ people in London have begun killing people at random, could it be something to do with the tech that is becoming popular with everyone including the Police? Only the performers of our very own circus can investigate the mystery and save the day.Ĭomplexity is the name of this game. The game is story-driven and I will not spoil anything within this review, This is a tale of rival Circuses, broken friendships, mysterious deaths, a plucky female reporter, a trained lion called Leonidas, and ‘Uncle Randy’ the Ringmaster. Well….apart from ordinary people suddenly becoming vicious killers that is! Come with me as I traverse a mechanically obsessed ‘Victorian’ cityscape in the Xbo圎ra review of Circus Electrique. Does the idea of an alternate ‘Steampunk’ London pique your interest? The way energy prices are rocketing we may soon be unable to afford to boil a kettle in the UK but at least in this Circus Management and tactical turn-based RPG, we can pretend things are all ok. Billing itself as the “Greatest Campaign Mode on Earth” Circus Electrique from developer Zen Studios is finally here.
