  • Gameplay
addedThis decision stems from our pursuit of exceptional gameplay experience and our sense of responsibility to every player. Initially, our Demo plan only included the core gameplay [Dynamic Path Tower Defense], with other features excluded. However, internal testing revealed that additional features are essential for players to fully grasp the game's charm. Even for a demo, offering only a fraction of the gameplay would be irresponsible and fail to live up to your expectations. To ensure you get a complete and immersive trial experience in the Demo, we have carefully decided to postpone the launch and spare no effort to polish and add more gameplay content.
addedOn the basis of retaining the original core gameplay [Dynamic Path Tower Defense], the new Demo will introduce a number of distinctive features to enrich your adventure:
addedBounty Board : New types of challenge missions are added. You can claim corresponding rewards after completing missions, adding more sense of purpose and fun to the game.
changedTwo Modules in the Council Hall : ① Roster System: Delve into the exclusive stories and life experiences of each character in the game; ② Bounty Hunter Career: Comprehensive statistics of your gameplay data, recording every step of your adventure.
changedWe apologize again for the inconvenience caused by this delay, and thank every player for your understanding, tolerance and support. Your expectations are our greatest motivation to refine the work. We will continue to update you on the Demo's development progress – stay tuned.
