Hello everyone,

Our Mighty Minions update is now live! This end of year update focuses on two main things. We have added another Weapon Form to the game - this time an alternate form for the Link Blades, and we are also introducing mini-bosses for each region!

Before we get into the full release notes below, we want to be real with you.

Spiritfall launched into Early Access in April this year, and this is our ninth monthly update. We have been absolutely blown away by your support and feedback, and we have loved watching the game evolve with each update.

We want to say thank you to every single one of you who have played Spiritfall, given us feedback and helped us make the game better. We'd also like to thank each of you who have left a review of the game. We're almost at 600 reviews and we're not even out of Early Access yet!

Wishing you all a great festive season and a Happy New Year when it arrives!

Love,

The Gentle Giant Team



[h2]Release Notes: Version 0.14.10[/h2]

[h3]New Feature: Mini-Bosses and Synergy Statues[/h3]

A set of 2 new Mini-Boss enemies can now be encountered in each region. Defeat Mini-Bosses to obtain a unit of Essence and access to a Statue of Harmony. These statues will offer blessings from all possible spirits in the current region, and will prioritize offering you Synergy Blessings. If no Synergies can be offered, the statue will attempt to offer blessings who can complete or contribute to a Synergy.
