V1.0.0 has just now been released!
With this, Ark of Charon has now left Early Access, and has officially launched.
Thank you again to everyone who played during Early Access and helped us shape the game.
Below are highlights from the update, and lastly the patch notes.
I wish you all a wonderful journey through Ark of Charon!
Update Highlights
Addition of the final stretch of the journey
The journey is finally complete, and you can now play through to the ending.
Gather new resources, face new enemies, and head toward the World Tree's nursery to bring new life to the world. What awaits you at the end of this journey…?
A new forbidden energy..?
Introducing the “World Tree Energy Extractor,” a device that allows you to harness a new form of energy. Along with this, several other related devices are also being added. These devices extract power from the World Tree sapling to fuel new weapons. However, using this device will slowly weaken the World Tree.
Evolving Tower Defense
New "wall-mounted weapons" that can be installed on indoor walls are being added.
These weapons, which can attack through walls and tiles while being shielded by buildings, will unleash a satisfying rain of arrows into the night sky.
In addition to the wall-mounted weapons, new weapons, enemies, and adjustments to game balance and enemy formations will make battles even more complex and engaging in v1.0.0.
