What’s in this demo?

New Immortal!

From the churning depths rises Atzlan, Prophet of the Roots! Embody the might of the Deep with this powerful positional commander. Spread the rootway and rule the overgrown land as an undying green king!

Atzlan’s playstyle is unique among the Aru Immortals, combining powerful spells with an on the battlefield presence. As the Root Prophet, it’s important to grow your territory siege-range zone control and terrain manipulation. Here’s a rundown of his kit!

Passive: Green Thrumb: Friendly units regenerate health quickly around the Prophet.

Utility: Summon Root Bud: Atzlan summons a rootbud in a location with rootway, expanding more rootway outward in a significant radius. Atzlan can store six charges so you can choose where and when you want to expand the rootway.

Ability 1: Prophet of the Roots: The Prophet teleports to any root bud on the map, applying his passive and granting increased sight and full rootway instantly.

Ability 2: Wall of Roots: After a brief casting ritual, Atzlan summons a barrier of durable roots, denying pathing to all units in an area. The wall lasts indefinitely when connected to rootway and slowly decays when disconnected. Enemies can attack the wall to break through.

Ultimate: Summon Deep Wyrm: After a brief wind up, Atzlan calls a mighty beast from the God-Tree’s ecosystem to do battle! The invincible Wyrm (affectionately called “Steve” by our playtesters), is not controllable, but actively hunts down nearby enemies near the rootway, dealing immense damage and displacing enemies with its powerful attack. The Wyrm retreats to the Deep after 20 seconds.

2 New Units Added!

Atzlan brings two unique units with him to the battlefield: the Root Shepherd and the Resinant.

Root Shepherd: A swift and subtle war-shaman, the Root Shepherd a nimble anti-light skirmisher who becomes hidden on Root Way.

Resinant: A heavily armored reborn warrior that can deploy to unleash devastating area of effect attacks at great range. Resinants gain bonus range on Rootway. Position them well and destroy large armies with ease.

Deathmatch AI!

Rejoice bot-slayers, your calls for AI in deathmatch have been answered!

Bots are now playable in both 1v1 and 2v2 deathmatch skirmishes! In the game lobby bots can be set up as any playable Immortal, and they have 6 selectable difficulties: very easy, easy, normal, hard, insane, and Immortal. Whether you want a relaxed and casual experience or want to go all out against a challenging foe, the bots have you covered.

New Procedurally Generated PvE missions!

We have a demo for a new PvE mission type that features randomized features, objectives, and culminates with a boss fight!

The current demo is found on the “Canyon (Mission)” Map. Grab a friend and jam some games at your preferred difficulty.

Oh and players now get random bonus units at the start of every PvE mission. May you forever roll Thrones and Behemoths!

And Many Quality of Life Improvements!

The full list is long but to name a few:

  • Build grid UI for a cleaner base-building experience

  • Improved gameplay stability and performance

  • Balance adjustments for the Zephyr, Castigator, and Shar’u

  • Better visuals, new animations, and improved textures.

  • Important bug fixes (perhaps most importantly, Mala can no longer spawn infinite Quitl)

Other Cool Stuff!

SunSpear is partnering up with some really cool streamers for a series of showmatches throughout the Next Fest week. If you want to see high quality competition and good vibes, log in to twitch and hang out. We will be providing links on our discord this week!

Thank you all so much for your ongoing interest and support. Making RTS games is extremely challenging, it makes us so happy to be able to share this game with you all.

With much love,

The Sunspear Team
