You’ve defeated the Ancient Evil within the Deep Mines, slayed the fearsome Sand Dragon in the Crystal Desert, and even pierced through the Heart of Fire deep within the Ancient Jungle. But what horrible adversaries might lurk beneath the frozen surface of the Restless Glacier?
Needless to say, the Restless Glacier is in very capable tentacles, and defeating the Icy Kraken will be no easy feat. Luckily on your conquest of the fifth and final domain, the Restless Glacier, you’ll be equipped with a reworked talent tree, a new playable species, unlockable units, alternate starting loadouts for the current species, and much more to discover!
You’ll earn many of these new tools by leveling up in each species with our new long-term progression features. With these progression changes comes an even greater challenge to unlock for our more experienced players with the new Corruption mode. Each combat node in Corruption mode has a randomized modifier that increases the difficulty in challenging and surprising ways.
The Icy Kraken isn’t the only thing beneath the Restless Glacier’s surface. We mentioned a new playable species and the Clockworks will not disappoint. These industrious automatons are obsessed with upgrading themselves and flooding the battlefield with scrap materials to fuel their powerful abilities.
We’re super excited to bring you the Clockworks Unleashed update, so we've put Quinterra on sale for 2 weeks for 34%. This is our biggest content update to date and we hope you enjoy the challenges found within the Restless Glacier. We’ll be listening intently for your feedback throughout Early Access!
