VIractal: World of Viractalia v0.3.0 update patch adds new stage Hell Grave and new character Sniper Grey

Sting has released a new update patch for VIractal: World of Viractalia that brings up the game's version to v0.3.0. This update notably adds a new character and stage, the latter of which also comes with a climax to the game's story.

The new character is Sniper Grey, and the new stage is named Hell Grave. This stage will also feature a climactic battle with Demon Lord.

You can find the official trailer and patch notes for the new VIractal update right below. The game is currently still available via Early Access, and it is slated to stay there for less than 6 months since its EA release last September. That means the full release is expected to appear around next March.

Hello everyone!
This is the Viractal development team.
At last, the second major update,Version 0.3.0, is now live!

This update adds many new elements such as a new stage and character, as well as highly requested quality-of-life features related to card acquisition during level-ups, along with various balance adjustments.

Below, we’d like to introduce some of the highlights.

New Stage: “Hell Grave”

A graveyard of blazing lava and the dead—
deep within rises the Demon Lord’s castle, “Hell Grave.”
Here begins the heroes’ journey to defeat the Demon Lord.

Make use of stage mechanics unique to this world, where enemy conditions change depending on the Crimson Night and Azure Night, and explore this perilous land.

“When the moon is shrouded in darkness, the Demon Lord shall rise again…”

The story is reaching its climax.
Witness the final battle against the Demon Lord with your own eyes.

New Character: “Sniper Gray”

With this update, the new character “Sniper Gray” joins the roster!

True to the sniper archetype, Gray excels at reading enemy actions and dealing bonus damage or inflicting status effects, making tactical decision-making key to success.
Adding Gray to your party opens up entirely new strategies and team compositions.

※Sniper Gray can be unlocked at the Transmutation Altar.

New System: “Skip” & “Reroll”

During card selection when leveling up, you can now spend DP to:

• Skip card acquisition

• Reroll the presented cards

Use this new system to build a powerful deck tailored to your own playstyle!

 

Other Update Highlights

• Added new skill cards, items, abilities, and status effects

• Overall game balance adjustments

• Various bug fixes
