First Tangledeep DLC โLegend of Sharaโ Now Available on Steam
Massive expansion adds a prequel story, the Calligrapher job, and a Mysterious Wanderer!
FULTON, Md. โ April 4, 2019 โ Impact Gameworks has announced the arrival of Legend of Shara, the first full expansion to the hit turn-based roguelike Tangledeep. Featuring a motherload of new content โ including a prequel story, a 13th job, a brand-new character, all-new monsters, and more โ Legend of Shara adds both breadth and depth to Tangledeepโs 100+ hours of gameplay for only $7.19 through April 11. Originally released on July 2017 as a Steam Early Access title, Tangledeep has steadily become one of the most beloved roguelikes for PC, Mac, Linux, and Nintendo Switch โ amassing fans, positive press reviews, and awards from the Steam Early Access days to its full launch in Summer 2018. With nostalgia-proof pixel art, polished gameplay โย and a star-studded soundtrack by Hiroki Kikuta, Grant Kirkhope, Norihiko Hibino, and Andrew Aversa (who also happens to be the gameโs lead developer) โ Tangledeep has done the impossible by appealing to RPG, strategy, and roguelike fans alike. A New Prequel Story: Shara’s Story Legend of Shara allows you to play as Shara in a new prequel that takes place before the story of Mirai โ Tangledeepโs original protagonist. While the core dungeon progression is similar to the main game, the dialogue and bosses are quite different. In this gameplay mode, there isnโt a town, meta progress, or job system. Shara does not gain XP nor levels like Mirai does. Instead, you can spend JP (Job Points) to level up your core stats. By doing so, your XP level increases gradually. You can learn new abilities in two ways:- Open Pandoraโs Boxes: Each Box gives you an option of three random skills from the entire pool of regular job abilities. Pick one โย and off you go!
- Rest at Campfires: When you rest, you can take your pick of several random Shara-only abilities. You’ll have to plan and adapt on the fly based on the items and abilities you find!
- Unique Dungeons: Each Journey has an entirely unique dungeon layout. Some are full of tight, windy corridors connecting large rooms together โ while others are more naturalistic, with wide-open spaces and water. Each has different biomes and environments to explore.
- Strange New Creatures: Unlike the rest of the game, every Journey has a completely new set of randomly-generated monsters โย complete with accompanying names, sprites, and powers. Youโll have to observe these new threats carefully because you never know what you might find!
- Different Scenarios: Some Journeys will allow you to bring along your skills, stats, gear, items, or a combination of these resources. Others will start you at Level 1 with nothing at all! Regardless of your skill level and progression in the main game, youโll find a variety of different gameplay styles and challenges to enjoy.
- Ancient & Powerful Relics: Through playing and completing a Wandererโs Journey, you will find new types of item called Relics. These are extra-special Legendary items that are randomly generated from hundreds of existing powers, bonuses, properties, and stats. There are weapon, armor, shield, book, quiver, and accessory relics to discover โย all with limitless possibilities!
- Shara’s Story: A new tale in the world of Tangledeep with a unique story, boss encounters, and new gameplay.
- Calligrapher (13th Job): Wield two weapons, make use of elemental scrolls, and indulge in devastating combo attacks.
- Level Cap: There are even more powerful items and challenges to discover with a level cap increase from 15 to 20!
- New Monsters: There are dozens of new monsters with new powers that you can capture and tame.
- Riverstone Waterway Start: A new early-game path with slightly more challenge and greater rewards begins in Riverstone Waterway rather than Cedar Caverns.
- Realm of the Gods: New post-game area with the toughest monsters and champions imaginable!
- Mysterious Wanderer: Encounter this brand-new character and explore Wanderer’s Journeys with new dungeons with bizarre creatures, scenarios, and treasure.
- Ancient Relics: Get your hands on rare items with limitless combinations of legendary powers and bonuses.
- Item Dreams: Twist and warp areas you’ve already visited with new events, monsters, items, and objects.
- Runes of Knowledge: Unearth this set of tablets, which teaches special abilities not found anywhere else.
- New Content Everywhere: Monster sprites, tile sets, layouts, item graphics, effects, music, and more!
