Are you exterminating the Heralds and Progenitors with ease? Looking for more of a challenge on your cosmic horror adventures?
Then look no further!
We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve added New Game+ and Hard Mode to Voidwrought for all of you skilled Simulacrums.
We’ve added not one, not two, but three New Game+ paths for you to enjoy!
Once you complete the main game, you’ll unlock all of the New Game+ paths. After defeating the Weeper, a New Game Plus Unlocked Message will appear on the screen to let you know that all of the paths have been unlocked.
From there, you’ll need to go back to the main menu and then you’ll have the option to convert an eligible save file into a New Game+ profile. Your main path progression will reset, but you will retain the following regardless of which path you choose:
- Health upgrades
- Damage upgrades
- Relics
- Souls
- Void charges
So what are the 3 exciting New Game+ paths you can choose from?
The Reborn
For those of you who like a major combat challenge, the Reborn path might be the choice for you. On this path, enemy damage and enemy health have been increased, so you better be ready for a fight!
The Harbinger
If you’re a connoisseur of fine Relics, then the Harbinger might be the right path for you. On this path, enemy damage is increased and your regular attack damage is greatly reduced, but you have access to unlimited Void Charges so you can take full advantage of your Relic abilities at any time!
The Undone
This path is for those Simulacrums who love a lot of risk with their reward. On this path, death itself becomes a weapon. You permanently lose 1 health bar per death and you cannot regain health outside of dying, but your regular attack damage is increased every time you die. On top of that, enemy damage is increased, so you’ll need to carefully consider every hit you take and die tactically for the greatest advantage.
If you revert your New Game+ save file on the Undone path or start a new path after finishing the Undone, the health penalty and damage increase will be reset.
Once a path has been chosen, you must complete that path and defeat the Weeper before you can move on to another path using that save file.
Please note that you can revert your New Game+ save back to a main game save, but the following conditions will apply:
- Reverting will restore the save file back to the exact point just before it was converted into a New Game+ file;
- Reverting will erase all New Game+ progress made on that save file;
- Once a New Game+ save file has been reverted back to a main game save file, it cannot be undone;
- Reversion works in layers. For example, if you’ve completed all three New Game+ modes on one save file, you’ll need to revert three times in order to return to the normal game mode.
Alongside the three New Game+ paths, we’ve also added Hardcore Mode to the game for any Simulacrum who yearns for an extra challenge, regardless of whether they’ve completed the game or not.
Hardcore Mode
When creating a new save, players can select the “Hardcore” option instead of the “Normal” option to enter Hardcore Mode without needing to have completed the game first. Please note that this cannot be changed once the save file has been created and you will not be able to revert to Normal difficulty on a Hardcore save file.
In Hardcore Mode, death is permanent and the save file is deleted upon death. It is important to note that, if you complete the game in Hardcore Mode and want to convert your save file into a New Game+ save file, the New Game+ save file will also be in Hardcore Mode.
Please Note: With the addition of New Game+, we have had to change the way save files work. Once you update your build, all of your save files will be converted to this new system. Save files from this version are not compatible with earlier versions of the game so, if you revert to an older build of the game, you will no longer be able to access your save files. If you for any reason need to access your old file, a copy of it can be found here:
C:\Users\windowsuser\AppData\LocalLow\Powersnake\Voidwrought
Along with all of this new content, we’ve added four new achievements for you to unlock:
- Hardcore - Beat the game on Hardcore Mode
- The Reborn - Survived the path of the Reborn
- The Harbinger - Survived the path of the Harbinger
- The Undone - Survived the path of the Undone
We’ve also included the following bug fixes in this update:
- Fixed an issue with the player dying and killing the Prince simultaneously.
- Wandering Fossil enemies no longer stick to the walls on death.
