Terra Nil, the critically acclaimed eco-puzzler from Free Lives (Broforce, Gorn) and Devolver Digital, and with a little help from Clockwork Acorn, sprouts a garden of new features for the critically-acclaimed game.
Vita Nova is the first major update for Terra Nil, expanding on its deeply satisfying nature restoration gameplay with five challenging new levels, nine new buildings, an updated world map, and a dramatic overhaul of the wildlife system.
New levels include Polluted Bay, a dead landscape carved in half by a badly polluted river, and Scorched Caldera, a vast volcanic crater that you must terraform into a life-filled freshwater lake. These, and all the new maps in the Vita Nova update, will put your reclamation skills to the test in interesting and unusual ways.
As you play through the campaign, Vita Nova’s improved world map—which is now fully 3D and can be freely rotated—will give you a more accurate and personalized overview of your efforts to bring life back to this dead world.
And thanks to the overhauled wildlife system, these transformed landscapes will feel more alive than ever. Animals emerge more naturally as you play, and have a deeper set of needs to fulfill to keep them happy and abundant. This not only adds a new dimension of strategy to the game, but gives you more animals to admire—including a brand new species, the jaguar—as nature is steadily restored.
Terra Nil is a chill, meditative twist on the city-builder genre where you use advanced eco-tech to transform a barren, desolate wasteland into a thriving, vibrant ecosystem. Purify soil, clean oceans, plant trees, reintroduce wildlife—then recycle everything and move on, leaving no trace you were ever there.
Terra Nil’s free Vita Nova update is available now on PC and Netflix, with the Switch version arriving shortly.
Fungus are among us with a new multiplayer demo coming soon
CHARLOTTE – June 24, 2024 –Shroom Siege, the team-based arcade action platformer from developer Upside Down Bird, spreads onto Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4|5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam in 2025, with a new Steam demo coming Tuesday, August 6.
The fungus kingdom spreads its tendrils and controls surrounding insectoids to claim dominance. Start as a mini mushroom with the power to infect and sway the minds of mightier life forms. Show off superior shroom strategy in 4v4 multiplayer madness.
Strive for victory in three ways: Shrine, Shogun, and…Poop?! Master multiple mounts to outwit opposing fungi, such as the merciless Mantis, equipped with razor-sharp claws to cut down the competition. Win three of the following Victories to emerge triumphant:
Shrine Victory: Command Minions to collect enough small orbs to offer as sufficient tribute to surrounding shrines. Watch for danger and move quick! Minions respawn indefinitely, so going for the Shrine means playing it safe.
Shogun Victory: Eliminate the opposing Shogun three times. Control the mighty flying Shogun and cut down any adversary lower than them with its samurai sword. High-risk, high-reward: fatal missteps bring the other team closer to their own Shogun Victory!
Poop Victory: Force foes to smell the stench of defeat by mounting a Dung Beetle to slooowly roll a poopy payload to the opposite side of the map. Winners often report this as the most satisfying way to win. Losers often claim it’s the most humiliating.
Each single-screen map makes all characters and strategies visible at all times. Beyond quick reflexes and witty tactics, Shroom Siege also encourages communication and coordination. Gather friends locally or play online, forming two teams of four with cross-platform functionality. Join matchmaking alone or with a squad and test those shroom skills around the world.
“The original version of Shroom Siege was created during the 2023 Global Game Jam,” said Ben Hamrick, Developer at Upside Down Bird. “Like a mushroom, the project kept growing, and we hope others will enjoy our wacky, fast-paced multiplayer game.”
Shroom Siege will be available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4|5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam in 2025, with the Steam demo launching on Tuesday, August 6. The demo will feature English text, with plans for additional language support.
