Along with the demo we released a few days back, we prepared you a short video presenting you all the changes to come in the recasted version.
As a reminder, here's a list of those changes:
A brand-new story
You will be able to try a brand-new story, which will take you to the continent of Carmina, full of legends and threats. During your playthrough, you will have to choose your own path to your main objective. We are not sharing many details about the story, but we are excited about this one!
Know that one playthrough won't be enough to discover all the stories - some will be available according your choices, and all of them will change on the NG+. Ah yes, a NG+ mode is fully integrated in the recasted version.
New gameplay
In the initial version, you must pick from a card to another to move around. In the recasted version, you will be able to move a pawn on a map and pick the card you want to. It will allow you to move around quickly and not waste time on cards you already have read.
The battles were also fully rebranded. We increased the readability of them, allowing you to move the point of view on the game board. Plus, some enemy moves require you to avoid projectiles and draw rune to test your reflexes and dexterity.
New cards, new ways to obtain them
30+ new cards. Not less! You character will be able to create new cards at the end of each story and will have to remember some lost memories to unlock more cards.
We have added more cards in the chests and more random encounters and each story has a secret card you will have to discover.
Finally, some cards will be hidden behind legends to read on the story selection screen. These cards are powerful and will change your build if you find them!
New customization features
We are also proposing you to customize your player cards by increasing their stats. Those customizations will be available with a new character, the "Alchemist". He will help you to create potions from some ingredients you could loot around.
Economy balancing
Finally, we have balanced the economy. Thanks to this balancing, you can buy more cards and build a real deck for breaking your enemies. And if you run out of gems... you can destroy some cards to earn some more.
Quality of life improvements
We integrated too some QOL improvements in the recasted version:
- full mouse / keyboard / gamepad support without choosing a mode
- battles / exploration / return to checkpoints without any loading
- file-based save system for the masters who want to edit their saves
- mods support
- performances improvements
