Real-time strategy and tower defense game Cataclismo will leave Early Access and launch for PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG on March 20, publisher Hooded Horse and developer Digital Sun announced.
Cataclismo first launched in Early Access for PC via Steam on July 22, 2024. Since launch, Digital Sun has released over a dozen updates, both major and minor, including new biomes, skirmish maps, a Sandbox mode, a veterancy system for units, and an overhaul of resource gathering.
The version 1.0 release will add the following content:
- A new building piece that was previously available only to Kickstarter backers. It has a high cost and can teleport units in the same way the Citadel does.
- The final form of the Survival game mode which comes with new roguelite mechanics and plenty of quality-of-life improvements from testing.
- The Depths biome—a murky, new setting that will be available in Campaign, Survival, Skirmish, and the Level Editor. It also comes with a unique mechanic tied to darkness and light levels.
- Opaline horrors. These pearlescent versions of horrors have never been exposed to light and, therefore, are more vicious and menacing than the other creatures of the Mist.
- Six new missions to finish off the single-player campaign, most of which will be set in the Depths biome.
- Another wave of improvements, balancing, tweaks, and bug fixes, all based on feedback from the early access period.
- A makeover for Iris Renegate, the hero, including a new set of skills.
