We can't wait to see how you fare against the merciless odds in this new game mode. The Queen's Hand Trial is meant to be a final, hardcore, and truly rogue-like challenge, and if you succeed, you will be able to claim the reward for the “Queen's Hand Trial” Deed on your main profile (the last piece of the Viceroy's uniform in your home - the Queen's Hand Pauldron). This new tab will only appear once you reforge the Adamantine Seal for the first time. To begin the Queen's Hand Trial, you will need to create a new profile in the Queen's Hand tab of the Profiles window in the main menu. There's also a section called "Fundamental Upgrades", where the upgrades are not random (as they are crucial power boosts, mostly tied to higher numbers of Cornerstone/Blueprint options). In total, you get 25 picks, each with 3 upgrades to choose from, and you can only buy one at a time. As you progress through the new game mode, you'll be able to gradually purchase new upgrades in the Smoldering City, but you'll never be able to have everything - that's because the upgrades are no longer displayed in a tree, but are drawn pseudo-randomly (like buildings or cornerstones). You start at level 18 with no Citadel Upgrades and only a few fundamental gameplay unlocks (such as Trade Routes and Rainpunk). Restarting a cycle or not having enough Seal Fragments also means you have to start over. A failed or abandoned settlement means the trial is over and you must start again. In the Queen's Hand Trial, your goal is to reforge the Adamantine Seal in one cycle without losing any settlements. As the name suggests, it's all about one big feature: the Queen's Hand Trial, a hardcore permadeath mode reserved for the most skilled Viceroys. For now, let’s just say this probably isn’t the last content update for Against the Storm.īut before we start celebrating, let's take a quick look at what today's 1.0 update brings to the table.
