Hellion's Escape - New Playable Character, Gear and Enemies added to City of Brass

Welcome to Update 1.3: Hellion's Escape

Hellion's Escape adds a new playable character, The Hellion, as well as new Weapons and Relics to pursue. The update also includes new enemies: the Floating Pyri and the Half-Man! Check out the Trailer below! https://youtu.be/gm3yDciz9Jw

The Hellion

Having been freed from the prison of his genie lamp, the Hellion found himself still trapped within the City of Brass and its eternal curse. Now he struggles to reach the center of the city and free himself once and for all

• Hardier than the other rivals, but slower moving.

• Press and hold to charge up a lunging punch, release to punch.

• Unlocks at rank 9

• Comes with 6 new Achievements

Along with the new Playable Character class we wanted to add more variation to the early game. Each new game will present the player with a variety of different enemies and more varied level layouts, making each new run feel different.

The Half-Man

Walking on its hands, this tormented creature emits a scathing blast of sand when close.

The Floating Pyri

This hovering spirit will drift ever closer, until it is near enough to explode.

The Hellion comes with his own new set of Weapons and Relics - can you find them all? As we continue to support and update City of Brass, part of this process is keeping the game up to date using the latest version of the Unreal Engine. Nothing exciting to report this time around, but every time we update the Engine, City of brass continues to receive bug fixes and performance improvements provided by EPIC Game's Engine Development team.
