Critic Reviews
- Combat is quite enjoyable, with different types of performers having different benefits and type effectivity. There is an element of tactics, as you can dispatch enemies in the traditional way of reducing HP to zero, or you can use your moves to reduce your opponent’s devotion to zero and have them run from battle — which may, depending on the situation, be a more effective strategy.
Jade Sayers · Oct 05, 2022 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Overall, Circus Electrique is a decent RPG. While the combat won't blow you away, and the management simulation is rather poor. The stellar music and superb visuals will make you want to stay and live in that world for just a little longer.
JoshuaBurt · Sep 26, 2022 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Circus Electrique offers more than enough surprises to entertain players for the couple dozen hours they’ll likely spend clearing its entire campaign. Unforgiving combat and the constant need to monitor resources demand the player’s attention, while the unique blend of genres rewards them with inventive new experiences.
Jason Venter · Sep 22, 2022 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Its gameplay foundation is incredibly solid, the theme unique and well executed, and there’s plenty of variety in everything. And while it’s definitely inherently flawed, there’s nothing here that can’t be fixed.
Thomas Medina · Sep 22, 2022 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Circus Electrique is still a fun time. The RPG blend of character maintenance, challenging battles, and circus management has a lot here and it can sometimes be overwhelming, but if players take their time and keep up the performers’ devotion, they can explore the mean streets of London by the skin of their teeth. It’s not an easy game, but much like Darkest Dungeon, it can be rather rewarding.
Drew Leachman · Sep 21, 2022 Reviewed on Series X|SRead full review - Circus Electrique is unlike any other RPG. Genre fans who like deep stat management will find a lot to like here. The mix of circus management and combat makes for a unique experience, although the management aspect does disrupt the flow. The game’s strength is in its storytelling and how well the voice acting and art compliment the narrative.
Roger Reichardt · Sep 20, 2022 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Overall Circus Electrique probably won’t change your mind if you’re not already interested in games like it, the slower pace and heavy amounts of resource management will probably still cause you to bounce off.
Joe Devader · Sep 11, 2022 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Circus Electrique is like a complex trifle: it has many layers that need to be in sync in order to achieve balance. It is not a game you can take lightly, and you will spend a lot of time figuring out details, statistics, strategies and tactics.
Cosmin Vasile · Sep 11, 2022 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Circus Electrique is enjoyable not only for its accurate depiction of the Victorian era aesthetic but also for its distinctive class and combat system and flexibility found in creating lineup combinations. The idea behind the game’s creation is innovative, but what it offers in creativity lacks execution.
Nico Vergara · Sep 07, 2022 Reviewed on PCRead full review - The game does offer refreshing and unique twists on the genre; still, there's a lack of drive to keep you wanting to fight through London's steampunk streets. The story grips you initially, but it takes a while to develop and a lot of the initial dialogue is wasted on family feuds which offer no real substance.
