In addition to the integration of coop to share the experience of the winner of the Gamekult Awards 2021, the update of March 22 will indeed open the doors of this special event, to be unlocked after obtaining the Icarian grappling hook. Its objective is aimed at seasoned players, who will try to lead Selene to its summit, after having traversed an infinity of floors more and more devious, and always generated in a procedural way.
Echoing the myth of the same name, this is a hopeless endeavor that will inevitably lead to perpetual failure. As commented by the game’s director, Harry Krueger, each phase of the Tower will end with a clash against Algos, who also becomes slightly more formidable as you progress. In the event of a victory, players will fortunately have the opportunity to exchange their orbs for new items.
Appearance scoring will also be decisive, with the implementation of a multiplier which gradually reduces in the event of a collision, or simply if you do not inflict damage. It will therefore be necessary to measure the risks to keep it afloat as long as possible, while venturing into the bonus (or malus) rooms to try to optimize its runs. New powerful weapons can help you triumph over dangers, even if their use as “consumables” will limit any abuse.
It should also be noted that the resurrections will not send you back to Selene’s ship but directly in front of the Tower, to set off again directly to attack the online rankings.
