Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon is a dark role-playing game on Steam, reminiscent of Skyrim. The title has now received a substantial update that makes the already extensive game even bigger.
What does the update in Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon bring? With the free update to version 1.1, Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon not only gets extensive adjustments and bug fixes but also a ton of new content. This includes mainly:
- New Game Plus (NG+), allowing you to start a new playthrough not from zero
- A transmog system that lets you visually customize your armor
- Improved third-person camera
- New forms for Qrko (the cute pet), also as a mount and summoning
- New weapon and armor sets
- 3 new dungeons
- 6 new quests
Especially the New Game Plus will please many players, as Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon comes with around 100 different endings, and a fresh start with a more powerful character should make life easier for many.
Only your King’s Power, learned recipes, all quests, keys, and readable items will be reset. Everything else you can keep and start the new run. As a result, while the enemies are stronger, they also drop more and better loot in some cases.
The transmog system also now offers you the opportunity to visually customize your equipment. Go to your crafting station and apply the desired appearance over your currently equipped armor pieces.
The new quests and dungeons are also likely to add a few more hours of gameplay – the base game has already offered a lot of content since its release.
