The Last War, 2085. Humanity faces extinction. Alien insects from the edge of our solar system, long hidden behind the facade of reality, descend to enslave us. Hordes of unspeakable horrors roll out from Central Asia, laying waste to anything in their path. The church of the fish-god scours the world for lost occult secrets to unleash terrible forces. Dead gods awaken and turn their dreadful eyes toward the Earth. And within hides a cancer, eating away at the very heart of the New Earth Government.
This is the Aeon War. This is the time of CthulhuTech.
Climb inside a thirty-foot tall war machine and rain down hell on the unwavering Migou. Fight tooth-and-nail on the front lines against the horrific beasts of the Rapine Storm. Seek out the disgusting corruption of the insidious Esoteric Order of Dagon. Explore the dark world of the malignant Chrysalis Corporation and their unseen monstrous agents. Sift through secrets long thought lost and bend the power of the cosmos to your will. Join in symbiosis with something beyond time and space and become a shape-shifting bringer of wrath.
Nowhere else will you find a setting like this.
Inside this book you will find:
- a complete history and detailed exploration of the world of the Aeon War, so that you can start a game right away
- Nine pieces of provocative short fiction to help portray the feel of the setting
- The innovative Framewerk system. Not just cinematic, Framewerk puts control back where it belongs—in your hands
- The option to play a hardy and resourceful 21st century Human or join the fight as a night-skinned genetically-engineered Nazzadi
- The option to play as one of seven professions, including Arcanotechnicians, who meld technology and magic into a unique discipline; Engel Pilots, who join in communion with gigantic arcane cyborgs; Occult Scholars, who delve into the mysteries of the universe and harness its power for themselves; and the mysterious alien shape-shifting Tagers
- A unique ritual-based magic system, simulating dark and painstaking universe-channeling power, including two dozen mind-wrenching spells
- More than 30 unique machines of death, including the bug-like Migou mecha, the rough-and-tumble mecha of the New Earth Government, and the monstrous bio-organic Engels
- More than 20 unspeakable horrors, including the terrible hordes of the Rapine Storm and the monstrous servants of the Chrysalis Corporation
- A secret history of the world for Storyguides, including an exploration of dead gods, lost races, and forgotten places
- Story starters and hooks to get you into a game NOW
CthulhuTech is a complete, self-contained storytelling game. All you need besides this book are five to ten 10-sided dice.

Honestly, while I read the 'this is not a slave to the Mythos' note early in the book, I expected more veracity to the Mythos itself than is offered. It is very clearly an anime otaku's attempt at making the Mythos 'cool' by including Giant Robots, Transforming Monsters, and Alien Warfare. Very little Mythos influence is readily seen beyond the use of a handful of names.
Perhaps I went in expecting too much of something different - such as, perhaps, a cyberpunk-style Mythos - but I am sorely disappointed by this product. It has some interesting concepts, but overall... The only way it could've disappointed me more would be if it had been taken down the route of the Overfiend series rather than the Macross/Guyver path it took.
Cthulhu is about sanity-blasting horrors. Cthulhutech... Is not. Cthlhutech is Mecha Anime with a light coating of Mythos names laid atop it to confuse people.

If it's the Catalyst published version as it seems to be then it's full color.

I recently ordered this, expecting the Catalyst color version, and received the Mongoose black and white version. The price seems to be for the color version though, and it is placed in the Catalyst folder.

Customer Service just returned my E-mail, and I am going to be returning the black and white Mongoose version while receiving the correct Catalyst version. Quick response time.
