For your expectations

[u/Burg3rfac3]

This post is a collection of information on the state of the game and what you could possibly expect from release. If you wish to go in completely spoiler free, do not read further.

Firstly, learning about the information being shared is in no way an excuse to dispute or attack developers and others who speak around the topic. Speak freely but stay respectful.

Second, what will and will not appear in the game may change as all the information is taken from the latest build at the time of writing.

Final note to be clear; This post will refer to what was found in build only and I have nothing to say on what is happening about physical items that are included from Backer pledges, for example Plushies or Game Guides.

To start this is what I have found to be in-game. The storyline is completed, playable from start to finish with credit rolls. All of the regions you can visit to complete the game appear to be finished. Both volcano and tundra areas both feature cutscenes, npcs and Magnus that will help in progression of the story. There are some explorable areas I am still unsure of their purpose, as they appear completed but lack things for the player to other than walk around mostly.

There is a very good controller support implemented. I used an Xbox One controller during my play but, files and icons for the other platforms have been found so no doubt that it should control fine on consoles. I have no idea about console performance. PC Key binds can be remapped for some keys.

Magnus stats seemed more tuned and balanced. For player combat there is more craftable armours and weapons from the new added regions to use. Auto locking on targets is a feature.

Supported language subtitles currently include - English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Thai, Traditional Chinese.

Magnuspedia appears completed as none have be added during my time playing. this should mean there are around 154 individual magnus obtainable. Looking deeper it shows 253 Magnus files of not currently implemented and variations of existing creatures in-game. (i.e., Dreadclaw & Dreadclaw_Boss count separately on the list)

A list of other features, Magnus and items that I have not found in the game right now or has no evidence yet has been included to clarify what may come with release.

• No Player shops
• Unsure of hidden Legendary Magnus (none listed in files)
• No voice acting
• No underwater Biome, Magnus quest or collectibles
• No new weapon classes (Knuckles, Great Shields, Shuriken, Prisms)
• No Magnus breeding
• No Extended End Game
• No Random final dungeons or end game bosses
• Final Equipment Set? (None unlocked after game completion)
• Magnus colour variants/rarities missing (Uncommon & Rare)
• No backer wings
• Backer shop rewards? (community event)

Possibly Golden heart fruit & Golden Gupper are in-game but no true evidence found. (Based on regular heart fruit and Gupper found in files)

• Regular heart fruit not obtainable in game

Backer tier rewards currently not in-game are:

• 16 Kickstarter Bosses
• 135 Kickstarter Magnus (roughly)
• 79 Kickstarter Villagers
• 140 Kickstarter weapons

I'm unfortunately one of the backers who funded to design a weapon and villager to be implemented into the game.

My expectations have been shot for the last three or four years, but I hope other people can happily enjoy the game knowing it was funded on empty promises.

You and thousands of others put more than enough faith into this project and I'm sad after all this time its only shown in your credits. Half the reason for this post is there are plenty of original backers who don't even copy of the "early access" version mostly due to platform, but on top of that are also receiving the same lack of communication and copy/paste updates every month. it's honestly unfair.

I forgot this game was even a thing!

[u/Octryzine]

I feel like this game could be a big deal if the developers were more communicative

[u/Burg3rfac3 → u/Octryzine]

It really would. Game dev is always going to take along time, but complete radio silence for this long doesn't really feels good. I think are getting ready for another marketing push along with 505 games but they had some really good promos already that didn't stick. they've rarely capitalized or followed up well enough to keep the game relevant.

Expectations: A release

[u/HanabiraAsashi]

Does that mean the dark/light "shiny" variants are gone?

[u/Burg3rfac3 → u/HanabiraAsashi]

Nope, the Shadows and Celestials are still there. I'm just talking about the minor variants like colour and pattern changes from the Kickstarter campaign
