Circus Electrique - ep1 - First Look!

Today we take a look at a tactical RPG, Circus Electrique, a new steampunk release from the developer Zen Studios. This one took me by surprise as I had heard nothing about it before the release. It is most similar to Darkest Dungeon with a positional combat system utilizing physical and mental health attributes with base building. Instead of a village you are building up your circus with the various tents and buildings adding to your capabilities. Instead of the dungeon map, Circus Electrique has opted to go with an FTL style map that you use to progress through various neighborhoods of London while you attempt to discover the reason so many people are becoming "vicious" and what it has to do with your Uncle's circus. There are a wide range of classes to choose from that will affect both the circus and your party composition with their skills and performance preferences as well as a compatibility mechanic that can alter your plans as you attempt to build your parties. Let's dive in and take our first look at Circus Electrique!
