Early Access - Report #2
[ 2018-07-12 13:39:30 CET ] [ Original post ]
It's been almost a month since I last posted a report on Siralim 3's progress in Early Access, and what a productive month it's been! The amount of features that we've added to the game in just a few weeks is staggering. If you haven't been keeping a close eye on the patch notes, here's a quick rundown of just some of the new features we've added since we posted last month:
- Nether Crucible. This relic allows you to summon the bosses you defeated during the main story quests and fight more powerful versions of them. Each boss drops one of many exclusive legendary crafting materials, along with several other rare items.
- Mallet of Awakening. You can assemble these mallets by completing prophecies. They are used to awaken your artifacts, granting them a chance to cast a spell when your creatures attack.
- Breeding Adjustments. There are now fewer breeding recipes to find, and you now have a chance to find rare recipes for creatures you haven't seen before. The breeding interface has also been improved significantly, and you can even choose how your creatures are sorted in the breeding menus. In addition, Heredity was revamped - you can read about it here.
- Talisman powers are now fully implemented and functional. Several talismans have been changed or rebalanced to make them more useful as well.
- Artifact Adjustments. Gone are the days of worrying about whether an artifact is "Crafted" or not. And, just for good measure, we've added some new artifact properties as well. Read about all the changes here.
- Knowledge Adjustments. It is now a little easier and more satisfying to gain knowledge about creatures, and it is now far less difficult to gain knowledge about Itherian Creatures.
- Casual John, a new NPC who allows you to increase the difficulty of enemies in exchange for greater rewards.
- Life Mage Perk adjustments. We merged a few of the less-powerful perks together and added some awesome new ones to the game.
- New prophecies, as well as adjustments to the arena prophecy to make it easier to complete.
- Enchanted Trashcan. Tired of seeing so many artifacts or spell gems when you find loot? Filter them out with this strange item!
- 88 new achievements.
- Tons of quality of life improvements.
- Macros. I'm still not sure if this idea will end up working out, but the idea is that you'll be able to specify a set of actions that your creatures will take if they meet certain conditions. For example, one macro line might read "If this creature has less than 50% Health, cast Healing on this creature". You can add as many of these lines to a creature as you want, and then you'll simply choose the "Macro" command in battle and the game will take care of the rest. The idea here is that you'll be able to create your own artificial intelligence for your creatures. I have some really cool ideas about how else these macros can be used in other content, but it's too soon to reveal anything just yet.
- Gate of the Gods. This relic allows you to challenge the gods to battle. If you defeat them enough, you might earn the right to summon their avatars as creatures that can fight for you.
- Balance. I'm planning to do my first balance pass on the game very soon. Spells, traits, runes, perks, resource costs, enemy level scaling, and item drop rates will all be adjusted to make for more comfortable and rewarding gameplay.

Siralim 3 (Linux) [207.1 M]
The King of Siralim, tainted by an unknown force, has brought war to the lands of Rodia, capturing all of the country's kingdoms and slaughtering their people in the process. Now, only one kingdom remains that can stand against this unlikely adversary: Nex. As the king (or queen) of Nex, it is your job to fight back against Siralim's tyranny and return peace to Rodia once more.
If you're in a hurry, we've written a short list of features Siralim 3 has to offer. You can read about each feature in more detail by scrolling down past this list.
- Collect and breed over 700 different creatures to fight for you.
- Explore randomly generated dungeons with 15 unique tilesets.
- Craft artifacts and spell gems to equip your creatures for battle.
- Infinite playability - there's not even a level cap. New features are introduced well-beyond the 100-hour mark. You'll never run out of things to do!
- Rich end-game content, including Itherian Realms, super-bosses, arena battles, asynchronous player-versus-player, and much more!
- Content updates and patches are planned for after the game launches.
- Take part in our community, contribute your suggestions, and let's create the ultimate monster taming game together!
Your primary goal in this game is to collect creatures to fight for you. There are over 700 in total, and each one has a unique trait that improves its abilities in battle.
You can acquire new creatures either by finding them in the wild, or by breeding two of your own creatures to make them lay an egg. For example, you can create a Gula Sin by breeding together a Wyvern Sonicscreecher and an Aaxer Apocalypse.
Keep your eyes open for ultra-rare "Singular" creatures, which are creatures that have a unique color scheme compared to their normal counterparts.
Each creature also has its own lore that you can read about in the library. In total, our creature lore contains more than 55,000 words. That's the size of a novel!
Take your creatures into randomly generated dungeons called "Realms". There, you'll fight against enemies that can be killed to increase your creatures' experience points, as well as drop resources and items that you can use to further improve your party.
There are 15 different tilesets for Realms, and each Realm offers exclusive creatures, quests, events, and much more.
Your creatures can equip items called Spell Gems, which allow them to cast the spells contained in these gems. You can enchant these Spell Gems to add new properties to them which change the way the spell works. For example, you can customize the type of damage the spell does, or cause the spell to activate an additional effect after a creature casts it.
There are over 300 Spell Gems to find in the game, and over 20 properties that you can add to each spell. The possibilities are endless!
Each of your creatures can also equip an Artifact. Artifacts are items that grant the equipped creature a wide array of bonuses. These bonuses range anywhere from a simple boost to their attacks, all the way to granting them new traits and spells.
Artifacts have randomly generated properties, but you can also utilize over 1000 different crafting materials to add, remove, or modify these properties. Different creatures work better with different properties, so you'll need to experiment to figure out what works best for your team!
There's an insane amount of rare items and accomplishments to collect. Here's a brief list... and believe it or not, this doesn't even begin to scratch the surface.
- Cards - these rare items have a small chance to drop from enemies after you defeat them. They grant bonuses to you and your creatures just by having them in your inventory. It will take a long time to find all of the 700+ cards in the game!
- Talismans - these work a lot like Cards in that they provide you with passive bonuses. However, by completing certain end-game content, you can upgrade your Talismans to improve the bonus and even unlock new powers!
- Favor - There are 15 gods in the game, and you can increase your favor with each one. As you do so, you'll unlock new game features, creatures, items, and more!
- Knowledge - the more you defeat a certain creature, the more knowledgeable you'll become about it, which unlocks new bonuses when you're fighting against that creature. Eventually, you'll be able to see a creature's health/mana bars in battle, view their lore in the library, deal additional damage to them, gain more experience points and resources by defeating them, and increase their chance to drop their Card.
- Singular Creatures - each creature in the game has a "Singular" counterpart. Singular Creatures are extremely difficult to find and have a unique color palette.
- Achievements - the game has hundreds of achievements for you to collect. When you earn an achievement, you'll gain some Achievement Points which improve the quality and quantity of loot you'll find during your travels.
- Wardrobe and Titles - you can unlock new costumes for your character to wear (such as a chef's uniform), as well as titles that change your name (so you might go from being called "King James" to "James the Drunk"). Wardrobes and titles can be seen by other players when you participate in asynchronous player-versus-player battles.
Don't you hate when a good game comes to an end? We do too. That's why Siralim 3 never truly ends.
There's not even a level cap. You can continue leveling your character and creatures forever, all while still finding new challenges waiting for you just around the corner. We've crafted every game mechanic around players who want to someday accumulate hundreds, if not thousands of hours of playtime.
Completing the game's main story quests is just the beginning. After that, you'll unlock countless new systems to keep you entertained for hundreds of hours to come.
Here's a brief list of some of the game's end-game content, but again, there's so much more to this game than we can possibly write here.
- Itherian Realms - these work like normal Realms (as we described earlier), except these have randomly generated properties that change the way the enemies or even the Realm itself behaves. You can acquire and upgrade Talismans in Itherian Realms in order to bolster your party. You can even find the elusive Itherian Creatures here, which are rare creatures that have unique traits you won't find anywhere else.
- Tavern Brawls - fight against other players' creatures in asynchronous player-versus-player combat. You can earn exclusive Spell Gems and other items if you win!
- End-Game Quests - a never-ending supply of quests and missions for you to complete long after you experience the main storyline quests.
- Super Bosses - we can't spoil what these are or how they work here, but rest assured that you'll face plenty of grueling challenges by fighting these bosses... and you'll be handsomely rewarded if you manage to win.
- Arena - draft a team of creatures and see how many enemies you can take down before your party is wiped out.
- More is on the way! We're committed to bringing content updates that include tons of awesome, end-game content after the game launches.
Q: Do I need to play Siralim or Siralim 2 before playing Siralim 3? Are the stories related in any way?
A: Siralim 3 is a completely standalone game, and for that reason, you should have no problems playing it without playing the other games first. While the stories in Siralim 2 and 3 are intertwined, they can still be enjoyed independently. In short, there's something for new and old players alike!
Q: What's new from Siralim 2?
A: We already listed most of the new features elsewhere on this page, but if you're looking for a more concise list, check out the FAQ on our website!
Q: What platforms is Siralim 3 available on?
A: It will be available on Steam (PC/Mac/Linux), Android, iOS, Playstation 4, and possibly Xbox One and Nintendo Switch. We'll release the game in the following order: PC, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS, PlayStation 4, Xbox/Switch. We do not have any ETAs on release dates for any of these platforms, but we will make an announcement when we do.
