Two weeks from today, The Forbidden Arts will be launching on Steam Early Access. We are very excited for the release, and even more excited for the future. We've received some excellent feedback so far and we've made loads of improvements and changes to the game in the past couple of weeks. Visit the community page to see all of the changes/improvements/bug fixes implemented in each new build. Thank you so much for the feedback so far!
We originally planned to add at least two major content updates while the game remains in Early Access. We've decided to increase that number to three and we're pleased to announce the first major content update will be released shortly after the initial launch into Early Access and will include several hours of additional gameplay.
It's a good thing you're the wielder of flame because it's gonna take a lot more than platforming skills to survive the Northern Wastes. The icy lands in the northern region of Chora is home to Orin, the ancient ice dragon. He is the commander of the skies and known to the world as the Aeromancer. In the previous area of the game you unveiled a major development in the storyline and this new area continues where the previous left off.
The Northern Wastes will allow you access to The Mountains of Orin, a new spirit challenge level, the most challenging boss fight yet, and a completely unique mini game that is sure to generate a few smiles and laughs. It's nothing like what you've seen before. We've also added in a dozen more achievements to earn.
Along your journey you will meet various friends and foes including goblins, ice golems, yetis and dragons, each with unique fighting mechanics or character traits. There are several new abilities and upgrades to earn in The Northern Wastes.
