Development Team Superkami and Publisher Toplitz Productions are excited to announce the release of the new update named ‘Mono No Aware’ for their open world life-sim city builder mix Sengoku Dynasty. This marks the next milestone on the post-release roadmap for the feudal adventure, where you rise from survivor to powerful Daimyo and take on conquering the extensive game world either alone or with up to four participants in cooperative multiplayer.
Veterans and newcomers alike will appreciate the improvements made with the current update, that roughly translates as ‘appreciation of life’ regardless of their preferred playstyle. With the addition of ‘Personal Quests’, the already extensive list of activities in Sengoku Dynasty gets even longer. These tasks are procedurally distributed among all your villagers and other friendly NPCs. In future updates, this system will be extended with more types of quests and unique NPCs to distribute them.
Yet another big addition is the enhancement of the Dynasty feature: while you were able to raise a family before, now you can actually start playing as your descendant and take on the task of forging a renowned dynasty. Your progeny will inherit your inventory and dynasty level, but will start with an empty perk tree, some XP for initial unlocks, and a powerful, inheritable background perk. Continue the lineage and you might be able to collect them all.
The survival aspect has also been enhanced: With the new statuses that impact your health and can even kill you, you have to adapt to your environment more than ever. Raining cats and dogs? Seek shelter under a protective roof or a rock formation so you don’t get soaking wet. In winter you will appreciate the warmth of a campfire that will keep you from freezing to death. Numerous other improvements include further performance optimization, bugfixes and much more. The full patch notes can be found on Steam, where you can also follow the game so you don’t miss any news or updates.
Of course all released as well as upcoming updates will be integrated in the Sengoku Dynasty console versions currently in development and slated for a release later this year. The anticipated release date for those will be announced in the coming weeks.
To celebrate the release of the update, Sengoku Dynasty is discounted for a whopping 30 % on Steam. For more details, players can visit the game’s official Steam page.
