Hello survivors!
It's been awhile! But your intrepid devs have been hard at work for this big big update! Hope you're ready for this!!!
The biggest thing that we've added is.... ELEMENTAL SUMMONS!!!! Yes!!! You will be able to summon huge elemental beings that will wipe out every enemy on the screen! Here's how it works:
Step 1: Unlock the NEW Faerie Caps area.
Step 2: Defeat the final boss in the Faerie Caps area.
Step 3: Defeat 10,000 enemies in one of the first four areas to spawn a mysterious crystal!
Step 4: Find and shatter the crystal with attacks to summon a great Elemental Beast and its guardians!
Step 5: Slay the Elemental Beast! Now all characters with the same elemental affinity will have that Elemental Summon unlocked!
Step 6: Go to any area with a character of matching elemental affinity and defeat enemies to fill your Soul Bar.
Step 7: Trigger that summon and witness the devastation!!!
This update includes the first four summons: Eikthyrnir (nature), Zomok (wind), Kulshedra (witchcraft), and Phoenix (fire). We'll be releasing more summons in future updates!
