Super Fantasy Kingdom News Roundup

Patch #15 was by far the largest patch Super Fantasy Kingdom has received so far, and it focused on a ton of different areas of the game -- adding new content, new mechanics, QOL improvements, and reworking many systems in response to player feedback. The main goal of this patch was to improve variety, meaning, and agency for players. Let's get into the headline changes!

Spells have been added! Feryaz implemented an entirely new system in Super Fantasy Kingdom with 18 different spells. You will always have 2 spells, one for combat and one for economy, but you can also find and buy access to the other spells. You can only have 2 spells, so choose carefully! The final day is now an endless challenge, called the Endless Finale. This is a great way to test the limits of your build, try out the new spells, and can reward shards and one super metal for surviving for long enough.

Units are no longer unlocked from achievements. Instead, you must catch new units using the Trapper, who lays down new traps for you. The first trap in each run is free. When you get multiple units from the same kingdom, you now get different bonus traits depending on the kingdom. These range from simple buffs like range increases to larger effects like thorns or reviving units.

Achievements have also been changed. In response to the previous change, units are no longer unlocked from achievements, but they now give permanent small buffs to all your units, and these buffs apply to both kingdoms. So now it's viable to play only one kingdom, or both if that's what you want to do.

Here's a brief overview of what else Patch #15 brought to the game:

• New progression options, including more roads, starting resources, and even villages.
• Runspeed has been optimized in a few ways in response to player feedback.
• Taxes have been reworked in response to the new balance this patch introduces and are now rewarded once every morning.
• New buildings have been introduced, and the portal has been moved outside of the city.
• The ritual has been reworked, and the addition of the monster bell guarantees a provoke event.
• Targeting items now occupy their own item slots, freeing up a slot for other items.

This is only the broad strokes of the many changes this update brought to Super Fantasy Kingdom, so make sure to check out the full patch notes to see how this update affects your next run.

Patch #16 is a direct response to player feedback from the previous update and contains some reworks and balance changes that better reflect the developer's vision around variety, meaning, and player agency in Super Fantasy Kingdom. Feryaz studied all the feedback from the previous patch to understand what did work, what didn't work, and why. So this update serves as a small but crucial set of changes.

The first and largest change -- upgrading units -- got reworked again, this time to allow progression through either coins or resources. This change combines the coin-based upgrade system introduced in the previous patch with the game's original resource-based upgrade system. This idea actually came directly from a player! Additionally, Rickard has a new spell that replaces his original targeting spell and makes all units attack 20% faster. Amaya now costs coins.
