Cthulhu saves Mac, iOS, and Android on June 28 [Joystiq]

[DP ServBot]

Lovecraftian horror turned counterculture icon Cthulhu will attempt to reclaim his ability to destroy all of mankind once again this Thursday, June 28, when Cthulhu Saves The World launches on OSX, iOS and Android, according to Touch Arcade.

Each version of the game will run you a smooth $1.99, making these releases $1 cheaper than the PC version on Steam and $1 more expensive than the original XBLIG jam. It's unclear whether the game will be a Universal iOS app, or if iPhone/iPad specific versions will be released at $1.99 each, though the game's classic JRPG-style interfaces should adapt well to touchscreen devices either way.

Launching on additional platforms has worked out well for Zeboyd in the past; it'll be interesting to see if the game's street cred translates to success in the indie-saturated mobile market.Cthulhu saves Mac, iOS, and Android on June 28 originally appeared on Joystiq on Sat, 23 Jun 2012 18:00:00 EST.

On my birthday, no less.

Too bad I don't own any of those platforms. :P

I'm happy there's a Mac OS X version, but sad that it's essentially an '80s Japanese RPG, which means slow and boring turn-based battles. Which means I'll pass.
