Hello everyone! Hope you're all doing well in these crazy times. Today we'd like to announce the next major update to Harvested, which brings 10 hours of new content across four challenging story missions!
The four missions in chapter one were primarily a tutorial of basic mechanics. Chapter 2 was much more challenging, but still focused heavily on teaching new mechanics. By the time you reach Chapter 3 you should be comfortable enough with the basic game mechanics to take on much greater challenges! New mechanics will continue to be taught, but these mechanics are intended for more advanced gameplay.
Chapter 2 concluded with a group of Multis coming to the rescue of the human survivors in a hopeless siege at Aurawatch Monastery. After some negotiations, the human survivors have decided to ally themselves with this group of Multis to fight back against the demon army.
Chapter 3, Mission 1 - East We March
This mission introduces "Portal Disablers," a building that can be placed to prevent demon portals from opening in a certain area. They can be upgraded to cover an even larger area. These buildings have been a part of the game since the start of early access, but they have not as of yet appeared in story missions.
Your goal here is to build and defend four waypoints along a mountain path to help refugees escape from Aurawatch Monastery down the mountain to a Multis city. You must place portal defenders and defenses along the way.
This mission also includes a few bonus objectives and hidden areas. Advanced players will learn how to use Teleporters to quickly travel between waypoints.
Chapter 3, Mission 2 - An Unlikely Alliance
This mission requires you to defend a Multis city. You will start out in a small force with a few allies and abundant resources. You must quickly build up defenses while continuing to expand the base to secure important resources.
If all four Multis buildings are destroyed, you lose.
This map is similar to Chapter 2 Mission 1 in size, set in a much smaller area with intense action.
Coming Soon...
