Hello All!
In the previous update post, I discussed that Fragment's Moonrise will be transitioning out of free-to-play, and made mention of a big update. Well, I'd now like to announce that update will be launching this Friday, March 24th (Pacific Time)!
If you missed the previous post, click here to check it out!
So, what's this update all about, anyway?
Well, I created a full playthrough of it and posted it as the latest blog on the game's official YouTube channel. I'd recommend checking that out!
But, if you're simply interested in a synopsis, here's a list of the newest features:
- TWO brand new maps: the Home Base, where the player will be able to advance their Units, and the next explorable Map, where a host of new content has been added, including...
- A new Miniboss, Arunaiya the Disciple Dragon: she's quick, with a deadly lightning bolt, and the ability to maneuver and dodge your spells unlike any other miniboss previously.
- New Enemies: the dreaded Disciple Dragon, whom cast a powerful fireball, and the Blighted Flower, whom summons poisonous clouds.
- New Worldly Beings: with the return of the Fountain, a healing structure, among many new plants to destroy, the concept of Elemental Combat is making its return with this early installment of attempting to teach the player about the Elemental affiliation behind each spell.
- Newly fleshed out class, the Apprentice. Advanced from the Disciple after defeating the wicked Barein, the Apprentice has a new slew of spells to make use of. To name a few- the Great Fireball makes its return as the Empowered Fireball, a devastating Fire spell that scorches the land around. The Greater Mystic Bolt, a powerful Mystic spell that can decimate a target caught in its blast. A poisonous cloud, which slowly boils its foes to nothing with deadly poison. An entangling spell... for those enemies that just can't stop moving! And many more!
There's much to the update than what I just listed, so be sure to check it out when its finally released!
Now, a small aside, because I felt it to be necessary to warn you ahead of time: your save files will be restarted with the coming update. I apologize for this, but with the newly overhauled map mechanisms (among many other things), creating a conversion from the previous save file to the new one proved to be too unreliable. I apologize for this, but do know a great deal of adjustments went into this update, so I hope this is acceptable. If you have any need of quickly returning to where you were previously in your journey, feel free to check out the game's official YouTube channel to get some tips and tricks about beating the first map. I've created both an Any% and All Bosses speedrun for the game which should hopefully be sufficient!
Thanks for all your support!
