The new Obscure Information DLC is now available for download on both Steam and the Nintendo Switch!
This update is completely free and it brings exciting additions, including two new bosses, a new area, and general improvements across the entire game.
Embark on a journey to a hidden area in Old Arcadia and uncover the 'Trial of Steel' - a challenging Boss Rush Mode that offers a fresh experience with revamped robots.
Additionally, a practice room has been added where you can sharpen your skills against these newly enhanced machines.
Note: The new area unlocks after defeating all the bosses in the game, including the TV boss.
Boss rush mode:
- The 'Trial of Steel' features 3 different fight sequences; Mini-Bosses, The Creators, and All Bosses
- Complete one of the 3 different modes; Underpowered, Haiku, or No Wrench to earn a Badge of Steel (there are 3 different badge tiers; Bronze, Silver, and Gold)
- Practice individual fights in the Boss test room with the boss rush modifier applied
- Percentage completion now tallies on top of your current score (maximum +15%)
- New in-game achievements can be found under the settings menu
