From Steam reviews

Review notes

Cthulhu Saves the World is worth a closer look if you want cosmic horror, exploration, chaotic fun, and boss rush.

Best for players who want cosmic horror, chaotic fun, pixel art, and exploration.

Check more carefully if you dislike repetition or grind.

cosmic-horror

Setting

The darker pull is eldritch, strange, or cosmic rather than ordinary horror.

exploration

Play style

The draw is moving through spaces, discovering details, and learning the world.

chaotic-fun

Tone

The appeal is messy, funny, and unpredictable rather than polished calm.

boss-rush

Play style

A major part of the game is learning and beating standout fights.

pixel-art

Setting

The visual language is pixel-led or deliberately retro.

replayable

Fit

The structure gives reasons to return rather than finish once.

controller-friendly

Fit

Controller, gamepad, or Steam Deck play comes up as a plus.

grindy

Friction

The loop may feel repetitive if you dislike grind.

Steam review snapshots

You'll have to explore dungeons until you find some towns that can help you proceed with the story.
Exploration
The story is simply hilarious, with dozens of top-notch jokes, constant references to genre clichés, and the fourth wall breaking.
Chaotic Fun
I was seriously impressed with how many references to Lovecraft's mythos they packed in.
Cosmic Horror
And the bonus modes are a nice way of adding replay value; personally I really enjoyed the Cthulhu's Angels remix.
