By which I mean, work is going great on Kid Mystic: Enchanted Edition, which is what we've decided to call it because at this point it is such a massive upgrade, it must be magic. Unlike our previous Steam releases, this thing is jam-packed with new madcap silliness.
There's one very big surprise I'm not going to share at this point, but since our last episode, there have been two new kinds of collectibles added to Modern Mode, which boost your power in different ways, so every level in the game (except boss fights and other weirdness) now has two hidden things to find, meaning more puzzles and secrets jammed into every corner. It was tricky in the one-screen levels for sure. But wait, there's more!
Classic Mode has actually been downgraded in a sense - to make it truly classic, it no longer has any of the new stuff. No runes to pawn for $20 a piece, no new puzzles, etc. Just bug fixes and the tiniest, most elegant of tweaks. This frees up Modern mode to go ham:
Meet Madam Kromch, who leads you through a new level in each chapter, with weird new mechanics and features. In Challenge Mode, they even include new types of challenges. And she's definitely not a witch. We've also added a pile of new quality of life features, from full instant cast keys (the gamepad comes pre-defined with buttons for every spell, just like the number keys on the keyboard! You can of course re-map controls), to autosave on exit, to a revamped Beginnerton.
You could almost call it Kid Mystic 2. But you can't, because it's
Kid Mystic: Enchanted Edition.
