But after playing a preview of the game’s first mission, there's more than meets the eye in this part steampunk RPG, part circus tycoon management sim. If you calculate the devotion changes ahead, or only practice with characters who almost reached the next level already, in terms of devotion cost the practice tent can almost be free XP for characters that don't have anything better to do at the moment.Instead of commanding a group of rugged, blood-soaked mercenaries on a turn-based death crawl through unimaginable horrors, how about a neo-Victorian circus troupe brawling with biomechatronic Londoners? That's Circus Electrique, a turn-based RPG that's much more lighthearted than its Darkest Dungeon counterpart (and seemingly main inspiration). When a character gains a level, they also gain 10 devotion. It also reduces the devotion of practicing characters, but this reduction can be offset somewhat by using the training ground. However, the upside is that you will have stronger characters for combat and for circus shows as well (the latter meaning more resources). The practice tent can be a double edged sword if you don't think ahead, because as solthusx said, its cost in tools means that you will have less resources to upgrade buildings. There are good party compositions that don't use these classes however. If you want to base your party on these classes, then you need to upgrade the train, as simple as that. I used snake charmers extensively in at least one of my playthroughs and one of the classes that unlocks much later as well. However, there is more nuance to the choice between the two and upgrading both can be a good idea as well.įor example, the train significantly reduces your daily upkeep at a certain level (as bambaladam mentioned) and the classes it unlocks are definitely useful. Generally, upgrading the train can be better if you are losing a lot of characters, while the practice tent is probably better if you can keep them alive.
