Zeboyd Games is proud to announce the upcoming arrival of Cthulhu Saves the World: Super Hyper Enhanced Championship Edition Alpha Diamond DX Plus Alpha FES HD \u2013 Premium Enhanced Game of the Year Collector\u2019s Edition (without Avatars!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2010, Cthulhu stole our hearts and our sanity with the release of the retro parody RPG, Cthulhu Saves the World on the XBox Live Indie Games service. Now, in 2011, The Super Hyper Enhanced Championship Edition Alpha Diamond DX Plus Alpha FES HD \u2013 Premium Enhanced Game of the Year Collector\u2019s Edition (without Avatars!) version of Cthulhu Saves the World \u2013 or CSTW:SHECEADDPAFH \u2013 PEGYCE (WA!) for short \u2013 will offer a number of exciting improvements over the original version including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cthulhu\u2019s Angels game mode \u2013 Cthulhu is too lazy to save the world so he talks a bunch of beautiful women into saving it for him! Features new dialogue, new playable characters (Molly the Were-Zompire! Elonalina the generic healer! Dark Knight Umi! Low level October!), new music, new abilities, and much, much more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Director\u2019s Commentary mode \u2013 Specially marked commentary icons scattered throughout the game tell the inside story on how one of pop culture\u2019s most popular cosmic monstrosities became an RPG hero for great justice!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rebalanced Gameplay \u2013 Many abilities and monsters have been rebalanced for even silkier smooth RPG gameplay! Plus a new Insanity difficulty mode and new super-hard bonus dungeon have been added to challenge even the best players ability to grind out higher LVs (because they\u2019re really not as skilled as they like to brag)!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlockable Character Bromides \u2013 Due to the frothing demand for sexy Cthulhu art!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More jokes \u2013 F\u2019tghan!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An obscure hint to our next game \u2013 Hey, why aren\u2019t we working on that now instead?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More options \u2013 Toggle the running button, then untoggle it! Endless fun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Great value \u2013 All previously released paid DLC bundled for free (note, previously released paid DLC does not exist)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Longer credits \u2013 To thank all the froody guys and gals at Kickstarter who helped make this project a reality!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Celebrity cameos \u2013 Cthulhu, the dog of e from Xbox Live! Robert Khoo of Penny Arcade (the benefits of being a fundraising benefactor)!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus all of the great features already included in the original version of Cthulhu Saves the World!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eurogamer (8\/10) \u2013 \u201cAt this price, you\u2019d be a gibbering madman not to give it a go.\u201d
Joystiq (Indie Gem) \u2013 \u201cIt\u2019s rare to find a game that is both entertaining and genuinely funny, and so far Cthulhu Saves the World is both.\u201d
RPGamer (4\/5)  \u2013 \u201cZeboyd has a knack for crafting fantastic, witty lines for all the game\u2019s characters\u2026\u201d
RPGFan (87%) \u2013 \u201c\u2026most important of all, it\u2019s a fun game to play.\u201d
HonestGamers (8\/10) \u2013 \u201cLoyal Lovecraftians will enjoy things like battling Dagon in the eerie town of Innsmouth, while everyone else will appreciate fighting giant zombie whales in hidden caves. Mostly, though, you\u2019ll just enjoy a clever, witty game.\u201d
Gamesradar (9\/10) \u2013 \u201cHonestly? This is too good to be stuck in the 360 indie game store.\u201d
