I'm considering buying this next week. Has anyone here tried it yet?

It's a ripoff of Worshippers of Cthulhu, in my opinion. I'm astonished they're releasing both games at practically the same time.

The title is a typo. The link goes to the page for Worshippers of Cthulhu and that is the game I am asking about.

It was most definitely a typo.

Although it would be funny if someone tried to release a D-grade game called Worshippers of Cthulhum at the same time.

Well, now that you fixed the typo my joke is even less obvious.

My apologies, at least I sort of got your joke (indirectly). :)

It's an Anno reskin, but a fairly good one

This is genius! A citybuilder as a lovecraft cultist? How has nobody thought of this before?

where you play the bad guys

So we get to play as HP Lovecraft?

I mean, I love Lovecraftian stuff, but that dude was a huge racist... Might be deliberate that you can't play as him.

Don't this is possible.

You should drop the developers an email with this idea. :)

Nah, I don't really think I want to play a Nazi simulator. Besides, there's already something akin to that out there. It's Call Of Duty.

"Lovercraftian" is a fun typo. I'm imagining developing a casual fwb relationship with Azathoth. Taking Cthulhu for a long walk on the beaches around R'lyeh...

They (Crazy Goat Games) just c&p and replaced the assets of their own game Republic of Pirates...
