Twinworld Game Reviews

TORUŃ, POLAND, September 18, 2024 — Dark Point Games is excited to announce that their 2023 action RPG Achilles: Legends Untold launches today on Xbox One and PlayStation 4, and a Nintendo Switch version is also coming later this year. Alongside this release, the game receives today a new free expansion titled ‘Fate of Moira’, which introduces new gameplay modes that promise to extend the experience with additional hours of challenging content. The ‘Fate of Moira’ update is available now on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.

The ‘Fate of Moira’ update brings several new gameplay modes designed to challenge players even after they’ve completed the main story. These modes dramatically alter the core gameplay, offering fresh and intense experiences that require new strategies and approaches. Whether it’s surviving with minimal resources, facing relentless enemies, or adapting to changing conditions, these modes ensure that Achilles’ journey is far from over. Moira, who has been a mysterious and pivotal figure in the story, will now take center stage. With her guidance, players will face formidable enemies and puzzles that will test their resolve and intellect, including:

• Inevitable Fate of Atropos: Precision and caution are your greatest allies. Every melee hit you land instantly kills any non-boss enemy, but the stakes are equally high for you—one hit and Achilles falls.
• Fate of Clotho the Spinner: Achilles constantly loses HP, pushing you to play aggressively to stay alive. Using Hades Vision pauses the life drain, and you can heal by killing enemies with Drain Souls. However, you can’t attack or use weapon skills in Hades Vision, adding tension and strategy to every move.
• Fate of Lachesis The Allotter: A relentless Laistrygon hunts you on every map, immune to conventional damage but can be slowed or debuffed. It grows stronger over time, forcing you to survive through strategy and cunning. The Ariadne’s Thread can temporarily remove the threat, but be prepared—it will return stronger than before.

This content update is the latest in a long list of post-launch support releases that Dark Point Games has brought to Achilles: Legends Untold. These include four major updates that have added new difficulty levels, various quality-of-life improvements and balancing, new items in the form of amulets that provide buffs and trade-offs, new quests and areas to explore, new enemies, improvements to the combat system, and new co-op maps.

The team’s commitment to player feedback has brought the game to a 91% very positive rating in recent Steam reviews, and with the addition of last-generation consoles today and the newly announced Nintendo Switch version, Dark Point Games hopes to bring the adventure to many more. “Given the strong demand and numerous requests we’ve received from our community, we decided it was important to make our game accessible to a wider audience. That’s why we’re excited to announce that we will be releasing the game on older-generation consoles, including Xbox One, PS4, and Nintendo Switch. We want everyone to be able to enjoy the experience, no matter what platform they’re on.” – Paweł Waszak, CEO.
