Endless Challenge Update – Test Your True Power!

Star Fire: Eternal Cycle · published 10 months ago

All eventsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Have you cleared Difficulty 6 and still crave more?
Did you one-shot the final boss and think, “That’s it?”

Today, the Endless Challenge arrives!


🌌 New Mode: Endless Challenge

After defeating the Difficulty 6 boss, you’ll see two doors appear —
the right door is your gateway to the Endless Challenge!

Enter it, and you’ll be transported to a new map where only one thing matters: battle.
No more looting, no more distractions — just fight!
In limited time, test your damage output and see how high you can climb!

In this mode:

  • You gain 2 additional Insectoid Core slots, for a total of 12 slots!

  • Each floor cleared grants +10 seconds of time.

  • Each floor cleared also rewards Dark Crystals — higher floors mean better rewards.

⚠️ But beware — this mode is extremely difficult!
Reaching Floor 10 means you’re skilled.
Hitting Floor 20? You’re a rare master.
Clearing Floor 30? You’re a living legend.

Come prove your power!

  • [Optimization] Added a new option in the Settings → Other menu to enable 8-directional movement. (Only affects movement animation; gameplay remains the same.)
