New Update! Rising Lords: Trials of Camelot
Lords and Ladies!
After a detailed testing and balancing phase, we're stoked to finally present Rising Lords: Trials of Camelot! Experience the all-new Challenge Mode in which you're tasked with defending your single province from increasingly harder foes every round! ⚔️
But if you're persistent - and a little bit lucky - familiar faces from the Knights of the Round Table might aid you in your struggle! Not only that: we made lots of improvements to the UI and our localizations as well! This update is a big one!
Additionally from now until April 7th you can grab Rising Lords for 20% off to mark the occasion! Get it now, give the new game mode a spin and let us now what you think on our Discord! 💖
Rising Lords: Trials of Camelot
Challenge your skills, optimize your army and try to survive in our new Challenge Mode! You rule over a single province with very limited resources while you're forced to battle increasingly difficult foes every round! Successful battles award you with all kinds of rewards, from gold to resources to weaponry!
In addition to that, you will get optional quests which give you even more of an edge against your enemy. Protect your troops, go down a curious rabbit hole... or fight side by side with the Knights of the Round Table!
UI Upgrades and Improvements
As we're still very much focused on improving the Quality-of-Life aspects of Rising Lords (and improve Gamepad functionality along the way), we started rolling out the first upgrades for our in-game UI! This is just the first step in making the game not only more accessible to new players, but also more concise for our veteran players. We hope you like what we've got so far and we can't wait to show you more improvements over the next few updates!
New Localizations
During the process of improving and adding to the game over the last few months, we've also decided to streamline, re-edit and update most our previous localizations! This includes the current Prologue storyline and all previous gameplay content.
And as a nice bonus: for languages that we aren't focussing on ourselves at the moment, we will provide a more streamlined way to handle fan translations (hopefully) soon!
Note: as of now, Challenge Island is only available in English and German, a full localization update will follow via a hotfix!
And as always: see the full changelog below for all the additions, fixes and improvements for this update!
