Crystal Hunt in Blade and Sorcery, New Mode Explained
If you are curious about how the new game mode called Crystal Hunt in Blade and Sorcery works, you've come to the right place.
VR market is not as big as “conventional gaming” due to very high entry point. This changes, however, as more and more consoles support Virtual Reality. Nonetheless, it is still costly pleasure. Due to limited player base, there are not that many productions fully utilising the technology. It doesn’t mean that there are no great titles at all for that environment though. One of them is very warmly received Blade and Sorcery which, as a part of full release, received a whole new mode named Crystal Hunt. Let’s shed some more light on this fresh way of experiencing this interesting game.
Crystal Hunt in Blade and Sorcery Explained
When it comes to Crystal Hunt’s description in the recent patch notes, the developers of Blade and Sorcery are not very clear. Fortunately, players and moderators were kind enough to provide some answers to curious fans on Steam Community Forum. Gathering their responses and summarising one of creators’ previous post, below we present a full picture of the new mode.
Let’s start with the basics – how to start playing Crystal Hunt? It is required to create a new character. You need to have separate protagonists for each mode. Once you’ve started with the hunt, you will find out that you don’t have any skills. The whole point of this variation of B&S is to gather skills as you go by completing dungeon runs.
There are many different skills, which number will probably change in the future, sorted into 5 skill paths for you to choose. Each of these have 3 power-like tiers, where the lowest consists of basic abilities, middle one providing more elaborate skills, while the third offers crazy combos of them, unlocking amazing possibilities.
In the terms of gameplay itself, there is some important information to note, too. First of all, saving game state happens only on return to home. Additionally, it is impossible to keep items that you have gathered during the runs.
Moreover, right now some of the fans are reporting a specific map bug, where after completing the tutorial and speaking with Baron, they are unable to travel to an outpost that he speaks about. To fix that, players have discovered that it is necessary to travel back home and to the Baron again. However, if you experience more bugs, you are welcome to go to the Blade and Sorcery’s official Discord Server and report them in a proper channel. Have fun!
