New update is now available, featuring the latest arena, The Ancient Tree!
Update v0.871 brings arena number 10 and a new set of quests where you can assist peasants in organizing their festival in the forest. You can aid the Church of the Dead in researching the magical talking tree or join the hunt for a Forest Behemoth.
The update introduces two new bosses:
The Tentacle Fiend
Boss that has most of its body underground. It constantly summons tentacles from the ground that attack your gladiators. It can also heal itself by consuming life plants nearby.
The Forest Behemoth
A huge monster covered in fur and spikes that can reflect some of the melee damage inflicted upon it. It can also pull vulnerable enemies towards itself using its long tongue, spit thorns, and strike nearby enemies with its horns.
The Crawling Fiend is another new unit in this update, a type of feral undead usually raised by the spontaneous mysterious force of Crimson Mist.
Other
Bug where last arenas would give players low tier items is now fixed. (New set of items is coming soon as well)
Plans For Next Updates And Full Release
This is the 10th arena so far, and we’re planning to have a total of 12 arenas by the end of the game. So we’re getting closer and closer to the Full Release.
We have already started working on the Major Full Release update but we’ll release several smaller updates along the way. Since the Full Release update will be massive and will take a lot of time to finish.
So alongside the last two arenas we’ll be also making new regular and universal items, gladiator quirks, enemies, bosses, guild gladiators, quests, remaining half of main quests for each of the three factions, different endings, bank loan feature and more. Also we still need to add quality-of-life improvements such as in-game settings, multiple save game slots, steam online save, more achievements, and more. We’re also considering some other features for this big update but we’re still discussing them so we’ll talk about them another time.
Currently we’re brainstorming a new set of Gladiator Quirks in our Discord Community, so join us and tell us what would you like to see.
Soon we’ll also talk about a new set of Universal Items, which focus on passive abilities rather than stats.
We hope you’ll enjoy the new arena and boss monsters in this update! Thank you for all the support and love!
