The text ‘Voin’ is at the front-bottom of the image in white, which almost looks like it’s slashed. Behind the text is the figure of a sort of knight, with a tattered black cape, and the helmet points and spikes backward, almost looking like hair. The eye visor of the helmet is glowing a light blue. The knight looks poised to strike with the longsword in his hand, facing towards the screen. This longsword has glowing cyan runes floating on the blade near the hilt. Cyan lightning sparks out from the heels of the knight’s feet, as if the knight’s movement into position caused the lightning. Behind all of this is a cloudy scene of severely dilapidated ruins.

VOIN from solo developer Nikita Sozidar and publisher tinyBuild has received a fresh new update. The open world hack-and-slash action RPG is also currently on sale with a 20% discount during Steam’s Lunar Near Year celebration. The discount is available until the 9th February and makes the game just £13.40! Hurry, to Steam!

So what’s new?

Thumb Culture writer Kyle originally checked out VOIN back in December, which you can read here. The game showed a lot of promise just a few short months ago and it’s great to see it getting it’s first update already. But what exactly can you look forward to seeing? Apparently a lot of community-requested changes, rebalancing, new gameplay features, and even monsters!

We know everyone wants to know more about the monsters, so let’s get into it. Gameplay now includes devilish enemies wielding special runes which in turn grant powers such as Stone Pillars. This particular power summons rock cones out of thin air to use as makeshift weapons. Not only that but players can now encounter the mighty Magma Golem who is ready with their fiery assaults waiting to unleash scorching damage.

Players can now use the giant globe to select locations. Meaning you can choose just when you want to push yourself in the toughest fights. Did we mention the game’s new difficulty setting too? We hear it pays more to be the boldest.
