Press release:
The Toruń-based (Poland) indie games developer Dark Point Games today announced with great thrill and happiness that they have just released the 0.3.0 update for their isometric ARPG “Achilles: Legends Untold” (the said update is available right now for PC via Early Access through Steam and the Epic Games Store).

The developers have focused on introducing new content and improving the existing gameplay to their dynamic RPG that’s accompanied by mythological setting.

The version marked as 0.3.0 includes, among other things, an improved GAIA (Group AI Action) system, new enemies, locations, a crafting system and destructible objects.

Update 0.3.0 for Achilles: Legends Untold offers players a number of new and improved features that are sure to bring additional excitement and enrichment to the game. Among the new features are improved GAIA actions. The Group AI Action system allows the artificial intelligence to work together in new and unpredictable ways, the uniqueness of this original solution lies in its spontaneous measures. Opponents dynamically assess the situation and act accordingly, whether that is to enter into a joint action or use the environment to their advantage.

In addition, a crafting system has been introduced that allows new items to be created on the go, destructible objects from which resources can be obtained as well as new throwing items – darts and mines. Players can now face new enemies such as giant spiders, deadly plants and the mysterious Laestrygonians and two new dungeons have been introduced that are ready to be explored.

Players also have the option to change the control buttons on the gaming pad and use two ready-to-use schemes. FSR and DLSS technologies will significantly increase the game’s performance, while new skill tree items grant the ability to use multiple items of the same type at once, these are just some of the many additions and improvements introduced in this update.

Players should notice a significant improvement in performance, allowing them to enjoy even more immersive and fluid gameplay. All the fixes and improvements were with the mindset to provide the best player experience possible.

“We are thrilled to finally introduce update 0.3.0 to Achilles: Legends Untold. Thanks to the hard work of our team and cooperation with our community members, we were able to provide an even more immersive and exciting experience for our players to enjoy. We look forward to making our game even better and more engaging with each update,” comments Paweł Waszak – CEO, and Lead Game Designer at Dark Point Games.
