What to Expect From FOUNTAINS
Built as a Soulslike action RPG, FOUNTAINS drops players into a seamless, maze-like world designed as a single giant dungeon that loops back on itself. You play as a hooded stranger imprisoned by a tyrannical regime, navigating a dark fantasy empire using tight, responsive combat where hesitation is punished.
The game features adjustable difficulty settings to fit various experience levels, along with an online message system that lets players leave hints or tricks for others traversing the labyrinth. Progression relies on discovering new items, powers, and upgrades to unlock previously restricted paths.
Shattered Shape Expansion Details
Releasing alongside the console versions on September 17, the Shattered Shape downloadable content continues the journey across the One Kingdom. The expansion introduces the southern Vainlands, an area abandoned by the kingdom where dangerous new enemies, monsters, and misshaen beings roam.
Players venturing into the Vainlands will find a new arsenal including magical swords, mystical tools, and unique armor sets. The expansion also weaves new character encounters and mysterious quests into the overarching story surrounding the Usurper's prophecy.
