“Ongoing post-launch updates are a cornerstone of community-focused game development, enabling teams to refine, rebalance, and expand the experience in direct response to player feedback,” wrote the studio in its announcement of the post-launch update. “The dedicated Mandragora community has played a vital role in shaping each patch, and both Primal Game Studio and Knights Peak remain committed to this collaborative approach.”
Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree has also gotten a host of quality-of-life and balance adjustments. These include more difficulty options, a bigger marker limit for map checkmarks, new shortcuts, clearer feedback on enemy HP, and camera and UI tweaks for Entropy zones.
Released back in April, Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree is a side-scrolling Soulslike action RPG that allows players to play as one of six unique classes. These classes provide a variety of gameplay, from swords and shields to powerful spells, which players will have to use to take on “nightmarish creatures”. The game boasts of a vast, interconnected world that players can explore to find unique items and crafting recipes.
Its story revolves around the land of Faelduum being on the edge of ruin, and players take on on the role of an Inquisitor tasked with rooting out heretics in the area and enforcing the will of the King Priest. Along the way, players will get to explore different locales, from the majestic Crimson City, to the horrifying lands of Entropy.
Over the course of the game, players will get to take on 60 quests across its 75 unique locations. Players will also get to explore the world to find secrets, hidden treasures, and new characters that might shed more light on what is happening in the land of Faelduum.
Since its release, Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree has gotten plenty of updates. The last major one of these, released back in May, brought the game up to version 1.5. The update brought with it a new area in Braer Castle, complete with its own reward, as well as a host of other items that players can find.
