Cthulhu Saves the World Review

Cthulhu Saves the World is the follow-up to Breath of Death VII: The Beginning, an old school parody RPG from three-man studio Zeboyd Games, mixed with modern design sensibilities, a heartfelt homage to the early days of Final Fantasy design.

Cthulhu Saves the World is a pixelated 2D journey through labyrinthine dungeons filled with treasure chests, random encounters and bosses. It's also a satire, ridiculing genre clichés while simultaneously paying them the utmost respect.

Cthulhu Saves the World was originally released on Xbox Live Indie Games on December 30th, 2010 and was later ported to the PC on July 13th, 2011. Since then it has sold over 150,000 copies and has gained critical acclaim. “It still boggles my mind that a random thought of mine while I was waiting for an appointment one day – hey, wouldn’t it be funny if Cthulhu was a hero in a Japanese-style RPG – is now an actual game that people are playing and enjoying", said Robert Boyd of Zeboyd Games, the Developer of Cthulhu.

Now that Zeboyd Games have announced a partnership with Tinkerhouse Games that will bring their quirky indie RPG to a variety of new platforms in early 2012 including the iPhone, iPad, Android, and Mac, its the perfect time to have a look at the weird adventures of Cthulhu and tell you what we think.
