New Content, Features & Improvements

  • Challenger Sebastion in the Eternal Moonlit Bastion will now exchange your Bastion Points for cosmetic rewards, including new armor sets, pets, and the coveted Bastion Cloak!
  • A new cosmetic lootbox is now available in the Eterspire Store: Crystal Ascendancy! Transcend the mortal plane with this stunning new elemental-themed set!
  • Participating in the Bastion Challenge with a party now grants three times more Bastion Points.
  • Menus no longer close when you are hit. Instead, a warning will appear notifying you that you've been struck.
  • We've worked REALLY hard to implement numerous performance improvements, especially for lower-end Android devices. The game should now run smoother than ever!

  • Wings now provide increased movement speed.
  • Eterspire now supports Game Mode, allowing your system to manage resources more efficiently while playing.
  • Various other minor quality-of-life improvements.

Bugfixes

  • Fixed a bug that caused Bastion Points to be granted only after a wave had started, rather than when it ended.
  • Fixed an issue with a level 26 hunt where the required mobs were not spawning.
  • Fixed a graphical glitch in the Skill Tree.
  • Fixed a bug that caused the portal to the Buried Pit to lock after completing the Underground Ordeal or dying during the quest.

In other news...
