The latest major update for No Rest For The Wicked has brought about significant changes to the Crucible, the game’s endgame roguelite experience. One of the key additions in this update is the introduction of Echoes, which allow players to customize their runs with a wide range of buffs and effects. This new system adds a layer of depth to gameplay, enabling players to create unique builds each time they enter the Crucible. The development team at Moon Studios has emphasized the impact of Echoes on gameplay, stating that no two runs in the Crucible will ever be the same.
Expanded Gameplay Elements
In addition to the revamped Crucible, the update has also introduced a host of new features, including an increase in the number of randomised chambers for players to battle through. The addition of a new art theme, a new vendor, and a new enemy faction known as the Gloam further enriches the gameplay experience. The Gloam, with their “corrupt bioluminescence”, present a formidable new challenge for players within the Crucible. While currently exclusive to this mode, the Gloam will eventually make their way into the game’s overworld in a future update.
Enhancements Beyond the Crucible
Beyond the Crucible, players can expect to find extensions to the overworld, new gear upgrades, improved combat effects for a more immersive experience, and even the ability to interact with stray animals. The update also includes performance upgrades to enhance the overall gameplay experience. Furthermore, the game’s compatibility with the Steam Deck has been verified, ensuring smooth gameplay for players on this platform.
No Rest For The Wicked, developed by Moon Studios, continues to push the boundaries of the hack-and-slash genre with its latest update. While Moon Studios is best known for their work on the Ori games, No Rest For The Wicked showcases their versatility as developers. With the promise of ongoing support and updates, players can look forward to a decade of evolution for this grimdark hack-and-slasher. As the game continues to evolve in Early Access, players can expect a dynamic and ever-changing gameplay experience that will keep them coming back for more.
