New Bundles + Roadmap
Hi Warsmiths!
Today we're announcing 2 new bundles for Dwerve!
Dwerve + Soundtrack
Enjoy the adventurous and emotional music of Dwerve composed by Mordi (Martin Lande). Dwerve (Original Soundtrack) features 30+ songs that highlight the whimsical lands, unforgettable characters, and exciting narrative points that the player experiences in the epic action-adventure RPG.
Just because Dwerve has launched does not mean our journey has ended. This is just the beginning! In addition to quality of life updates, we have some other cool stuff panned:
Boss Rush Mode
This game mode has you face off against each of the bosses with special conditions and modifiers. We're still exploring different options for how this game mode will function, but I'm sure you all will enjoy it.
World Map
Whether it's to unlock a chest you missed, complete an achievement, or visit the Hall of Heroes to read the Kickstarter backer quotes, the World Map will let you replay any level.
