'Endless Legend' Shifters Expansion Adds New Faction

by Rainier on Jan. 22, 2016 @ 8:38 a.m. PST

Endless Legend is a turn-based 4x fantasy strategy game that takes place on the planet Auriga, a once-beautiful planet destroyed in a massive cataclysm.

Endless Legend is set in the same Endless universe, and offers players the chance to develop a fantasy civilization through seamless turn-based combat on the dying planet of Auriga. Players have the ability to pick one of eight beautifully crafted factions, thrust heroes into tactical battle using a variety of strategic terrain, develop technological and political power, and conquer the planet through diplomatic or military means.

Players will build their nations with up to eight factions and 16 minor factions through a single-player or multiplayer campaign using tactical, military, and political means on randomly generated, hexagonal worlds of varying altitudes with the ultimate goal of developing the most powerful civilization on the planet. With research capabilities of up to 100 technologies across four eras, gamers will encounter long harsh seasons as they struggle to achieve one of the up to eight potential victory scenarios. They’ll dig in to fight battles with a variety of powerful heroes and create a robust economy using Dust (money), food, industry, science, and more.

Amplitude Studios celebrated its annual ‘Endless Day’ with new unlockable content for it’s games as well as a livestream which announced a new expansion pack for Endless Legend named Shifters, launching in April.

This expansion will include a new Major Faction called The Allayi. This new civilization will be able to ‘shift’ during long winters. All factions will also be able to collect a new resource called the ‘Pearls of Auriga’, enabling them to unlock new powers through the ‘Altar of Auriga’ and modify the upcoming winters’ impact.

During Endless Day players are encouraged to play Amplitude Studios’ Endless Space, Endless Legend, and Dungeon of the Endless (PC) before Monday 25th of January to unlock the Endless Archivist hero and permanently unlock him, as well as a special Steam achievement in each of the games.

“This ‘Endless Day’ marks the fifth anniversary of our studio, we want to thank all the players and supporters for making us what we are today” said Romain de Waubert de Genlis, creative director at Amplitude Studios. “2016 is going to be a very exciting year for us, and we hope you all stick along for the ride.”

Another sunrise, another day of toil. Food must be grown, industries built, science and magic advanced, and wealth collected. Urgency drives these simple efforts, however, for your planet holds a history of unexplained apocalypse, and the winter you just survived was the worst on record. A fact that has also been true for the previous five.

As you discover the lost secrets of your world and the mysteries of the legends and ruins that exist as much in reality as in rumor, you will come to see that you are not alone. Other peoples also struggle to survive, to grow, and perhaps even to conquer.

You have a city, a loyal populace, and a few troops; your power and magic should be sufficient to keep them alive. But beyond that, nothing is certain… Where will you go, what will you find, and how will you react? Will your trail be one of roses, or of blood?

Key Features:

  • Explore legendary lands with one of the eight civilizations available both in single and multiplayer, as you adventure through seasons, striving to discover the secrets of Auriga.
  • Expand beyond the unknown and send your heroes in every corner of the world to find mysterious artifacts to equip your troops, and assimilate powerful minor factions which will help you overwhelm your opponents.
  • Exploit every opportunity by researching new technologies and magical powers while collecting Dust, luxuries and strategic resources tradable on the marketplace.
  • Exterminate fools who defy you with a genuine combat system where terrain and your unit abilities are key to take the advantage over the enemy armies.
