Halloween is here and with it comes a lot of new content for Necrocat!
Necrocat Shattered Faces is a free expansion of the game with various new content and mechanics that will shape totally new experiences and game dynamics!
New Narrative
The fearsome Necrocat not only split his soul in various amulets which represent fragments of his power but also created specters known as Faces, in which several amulets were gathered. Those faces hold the combined power of the amulets that was granted to them, as well as aspects of the necromancer’s personality. Overcoming the faces is crucial to reach and defeat Necrocat, since they also carry reflections of his power which can be turned against him.
New Enemies
New Halloween themed enemies were spread across the map with new designs and new effects!
New Features:
The Faces of Necrocat
Necrocat’s faces work as a new system of progression and evolution. Previously, upon reaching the end of the map, Necrocat used to appear and by defeating him corrupted souls were obtained. Now, each map has one Necrocat’s Face with different abilities and strengths. Defeating each Face unlocks a new power related to the Necrocat’s effects.
Each one of the special effects found on common cards will also appear on each one of the necromancer’s Faces. Each collected and equipped Face will bring a new ability tied to that effect.
List of effects/faces and their respective abilities:
Healer: Increases the chance of healing items appearing on the map by 45%
Thief: Increases the chance of coins appearing on the map by 65%
Soul Thief: Increases the chance of soul vials appearing by 35%
Warrior: Grants a 20% chance to double the damage with each physical attack
