Season 2 Release Event

We have plans for a release event with the start of Season 2, where we will share further details very soon.

Season Lead Mechanic - Sandfall World Event

Scattered across the forsaken lands of Ankerath you will find relics of time itself. Just waiting to release the sands of time.

Sandfall is a time based world event where enduring within the event area will let you collect sands of time. Acumulate sand and trade this new currency into precious and powerful items. Some with beyond ordinary quality, which will grant you a high chance to receiving multiple duplicates of the same item or weapons and trinkets with higher stat rolls and crafting potential.

But beware the longer you endure the more devastating sandfall can become. You can exit the event area anytime but beware once your character gets defeated all sand vanishes like the time itself.

Cosmetics - Supporter Pack DLC

Era of Darkness Content Update is a free content update! Despite the size being more leaning towards a DLC, we do not want to fracture the playerbase, nor following the meta of setting buying incentives by making new content "stronger". We are just two persons loving ARPGs and Roguelites who want to craft the best gaming experience we can, balancing the game to our vision.

We decided to rather work on a Supporter Pack DLC where we can implement all the fun ideas for purely cosmetic non gameplay affecting cosmetics.

Currently there are already over 28 unique cosmetics. These cosmetics will allow to customise your character appearance and add unique visual twists to Striving for Light.

The Supporter Pack DLC is now available to wishlist: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4606350/Striving_for_Light__Supporter_Pack_DLC/

Supporter Pack DLC Pricing:

6.99$ / 7,19€

The Supporter Pack DLC is meant for those that wish to support the future development of Striving for Light.

We want to say thank you to every single one playing and supporting Striving for Light and our vision!

You will be able to access the cosmetics from conveniently everywhere within the stats menu. If you wish to change your appearence mid map you are able to do this with a few clicks not interrupting the gameflow.
