Hey Everyone,
Summer is over, we have a busy 4 months of this year left ahead, full of new game releases, let’s make GemCraft Frostborn Wrath one of those games!
In this post, I’ll show you the rebuilt talisman system.
The talisman is now a 5×5 jigsaw puzzle, with most of the tiles locked at the start of the game, unlockable by gathering enough shadow cores (the multi-purpose game currency).
All talisman fragments give varying battle bonuses, depending on the rarity level of the fragment (more rare fragments give more and stronger bonuses), the upgrade level (unlocking the potential bonuses of the fragment by spending shadow cores), and whether the fragment is “inner”, “edge”, or “corner” type. Rare fragments can be found during battles boosted with lots of battle traits.
You can sacrifice a fragment to add its shape to your shape collection. The more shapes you gather this way, the more freedom you have when changing the shape of the fragments you plan to add to your talisman.
Just as with a jigsaw puzzle, you have to correctly connect the puzzle piece shaped talisman fragments as you fill the tiles of the talisman. If a fragment doesn’t fit, you can change its shape one side at a time with the arrow keys, but it can only take a shape you already have in your shape collection. Also, edges can’t be changed or rotated, so a top left corner fragment can’t be changed to top right, just as an inner fragment can’t get an edge.
The runes on some of the fragments, as well as the lights on the sides of the talisman will be up to you to explore when the game finally arrives.
Next time I hope I can show you the game’s trailer, and if everything goes as planned, the game can be out this year – more info about the release details when we get closer.
