What you've all been asking for is finally here! Bounty Hunt is back to stay, bigger and better than before!
The new and improved Bounty Hunt game mode is released in version 3.4 alongside a new event, Bounty Hungers, which continues Ellie and Lulu's journey!
Bounty Hunt!
Bounty Hunt is a "race" type of game mode where 4 players compete to reach 20 Fame first by doing delivery Quests and fighting various monsters for Bounties.
The updated version comes with 12 different Bounty monsters, 12 Quest locations, and 4 Shop types! For every match, 2 random easy, medium and hard Bounties, and 6 Quest locations are chosen randomly, so every game will play out differently!
As a new feature, cards can now be sold to the Shops for stars! Each Shop can give different prices for different cards.
Each Shop type can further be upgraded by selling cards and buying items from them, up to level 10. Higher level shops give discounts, increased item stacks, and more rare items! Many new items have been added to spice up the game mode.
New summons are also available: Aurora, who will heal and revive the player, and Guardian, who will independently hunt for Bounty monsters you have a contract for and give you Fame on wins.
Lastly, a mysterious invader called the Harbinger may appear after Chapter 15, and start hunting the players...
Certain cards and units behave differently in the Bounty Hunt mode.
Note that Bounty Hunt is a somewhat longer than the other game modes, and in return EXP, Stars and Orange rewards give a +50% bonus in this mode.
Extended Modding!
The modding system has been updated and expanded:
- Can now mod Panel graphics
- Can now mod Homestop graphics
- Custom translations can now be distributed via mod system
- A better error check has been added. JSON errors will show up in the mod list, pointing out the issue (if any).
