This update brings a whole new chapter to the main storyline, with a new biome, with unique creatures, enemies, and characters, along with improvements to the UI.
Indie studio Charlie Oscar just released a new major update for Spire of Sorcery, which brings a new chapter to the main storyline of the turn-based party RPG among many other new features. Spire of Sorcery is available now on Steam Early Access for $20/€20 (with a -20% discount until May 9th). Chapter 4 brings players to the Dismal Marshes – a toxic, hostile swampland where a city once stood, ages ago. No one can remember how the flood started, but eventually, the city was flooded, and of its former glory only decaying ruins stick out of the mud now.
The Dismal Marshes, poisonous as they are, are not completely deserted. To begin with, there is another mage in the swamps that players can find and free to join their party. There are also two intelligent species living there, the Oorls and the Drowners. Dangerous Swamp Beasts lurk in their shadows, using their mimicry to fool the unsuspecting prey and strangle it with their roots. Bloodsuckers, crawlers, earth leeches, and snarers are another danger that will threaten the mages in their journey.
But there are rewards for those who dare to cross the Marshes and survive to tell the tale: the Spire of Sorcery has detected the Weightless Stone lying somewhere – a powerful artifact that allows its owner to control the minds of others. It would allow the mages to open a new room at the Spire – but unfortunately, some creature has found it and is using it to rule the whole region… This new update brings also new resources to the game. It also updates most of the Spells and a lot of the alchemical recipes, on top of changing how the players’ stats are updated in the UI, an updated targeting system for combat, and several changes to environmental conditions and effects; you can check the full patch notes here.
