We are wishing you happy holidays, full of games and rest!
2024 will be for us the launch of the new Drifter's Tales version, full of improvements.
As the game is now finished and we are polishing it, we are able to give you a complete list of what will change in the upcoming version:
A brand new story
We will present you a brand-new story. It's not an update - it's a completely new journey. As an architect, healer, priest or blacksmith you will have to travel to another country.
In a complete playthrough you won't be able to play all the stories we have prepared for you - at the end of each story, you will have to choose your next story. You can play 5 stories in a playthrough among the 11 available.
Each story as its own secrets and characteristics, and we hope you will enjoy all the efforts we have put on it to vary the situations each time!
More cards, more mods
Obviously, we added more cards in the game. There will be 31 new cards available!
We also added new ways to obtain the cards in your journey:
- as you have now an origin (architect, healer, priest or blacksmith), you will be able to obtain 12 cards from it
- you can hear stories from The Storyteller, rewarding you a card each time
- we added also new covenants, and new secrets
We introduced also new mods to mod your cards, and also your character! Yes, thanks to the Alchemy you will be able to increase the stats of your own character.
Revamped battles
The battle system was fully revamped. Now the enemies can play multiple time, and you won't be inactive anymore during their turn! You will have to avoid projectiles and draw runes with your keyboard/gamepad to survive.
Also, some battlefields will have squares with various effects (lava, water, hole) - you will be able to use it at your advantages with some cards, it's up to your strategy!
We learnt from our failure
During the launch of the previous game, many of you pointed out the lack of mouse support. Now, you are able to play with your mouse, the keyboard of your gamepad (Xbox or DualShock controllers).
Also, some may have found that the game missed some replay value. Now, the New Game Plus mode is part of the experience, and will offer you the opportunity to refine your decks from a playthrough to another.
We hope you will like this new chapter, which you can wishlist here:
