Cthulhu Saves the World releasing on PC via Steam photo

Zeboyd Games has a short, but notable update on the PC version of Cthulhu Saves the World: it's going to release on Steam. The current aim is to get this title out by the end of the month at a low price of $3, similar to the Xbox Live Indie game original.

The Kickstarter for this expanded game was successful, and I have a feeling PC gamers are going to give Cthulhu much more attention than those on Xbox 360 ever did. Not that it's their fault, really -- the XBLIG initiative is simply that poorly executed.

You can't help but feel bad for the developers who try -- or in some cases, tried -- to support it.

First I've heard of this game. I'd probably drop $3 just for the title alone.

<3 Zeboyd.
I'm not much for RPG's, but "Breath of Death VII: The Beginning" put me over the top for this company. They're like the Twisted Pixel of RPG's I guess.

They're funny, is what I'm sayin.

On another note though, please don't tell me this new layout's definite :/ guessing it's taking the piss out of Kocrapu's layout but yeah, the way the other links are now is bulky/annoying and all user comments being in grey sucks :p

Yes, yes there is.

For $3, this game gives you way more bang for the buck. On xbox, you get the normal game with different difficulties, while the one that will release on steam is a much enhanced version that features new modes, like a Charlies Angels type mode, iirc, new characters in that mode, more optional dungeons and bosses, and so on. They said the upgrade to the game is going to xbox to, which I am glad for, I prefer playing my rpg's on a tv with a controller in my hand, plus I already own it on xbox.

Quality title. Played it on 360, will play again on PC because it's $3 and it's worth that just for Dacre, who is absolutely the best party member in a game ever.

Aye, I know its getting the upgrade free, really looking forward to it. Its nice to find rpg's that are old school, with new school idea's of speed. For those of you who don't know what I mean, you can do battles in that game in seconds if you are stronger than the enemy, because the game doesn't have the slow game play the other games with its graphics style usually have.
