Expansions are a great way for developers to grow their initial game’s content, while also offering more fun for gamers who enjoyed the mainline title. Today, Team17 and Crackshell have unleashed their first expansion for their roguelike action RPG Heroes of Hammerwatch II. Called the “Celestial Ruins,” it’ll add new elements to gameplay, including an all-new class to try out and extra bosses to fight. So, if you enjoyed the original campaign, you’ll want to test yourself in this one. Here’s a synopsis and a trailer to check out:
“Heroes of Hammerwatch II: Celestial Ruins sees players valiantly take on the holy duties of the new Priest class, travel to the Celestial Ruins, and overcome the formidable Spirit bosses.
The Priest class joins the seven other classes already available, and focuses on mana powers and regeneration, essential abilities to face the five Spirit bosses. As players progress through the devastated environment of the ruins, they’ll acquire powerful Spirit Boons that add new build opportunities, and unlock new equipment such as scepters, lanterns, and a selection of unique trinkets. Celestial Ruins also includes two pets, Will O’ The Wisp and Animated Candle.”
For those who don’t have the main game just yet, fear not, the teams have made it easy for you to get everything via buying the “Deluxe Edition,” which will include the DLC alongside the main campaign. The Deluxe Edition is $24.99. Plus, for those who have been enjoying the main game for a while, the DLC expansion brings forth a free update that adds new pets and trinkets to enjoy.
