Description

Wolcen Bloodtrail was released in November 2020 and appears as the game's first Chronicle.
Six months after the Crimson Keep vents, Stormfall received several reports of dragons. Ilthain and Ondar, Knights of the Order of Oshara came to investigate, believing it could be related to the disappearance of the Mother of Dragons.

New content, the hunt

First direct content of Wolcen Bloodtrail, you will be able to hunt the corny! Whether in expedition or in story mode, you will have to activate a first track then the next ones. Each trace will give you a multiple choice, which will add loot bonuses but also will strengthen the beast. For example, you can increase its damage to get more items or more trophies. Be careful some modifiers are quite strong and will make the beast very hard to kill. After killing him, you will collect trophies that can be used by the new neighborhood master merchant Havar (available in Stormfall Champion mode only).

Via the new Oshara Council building, you will be able to improve this merchant in order to buy additional items (rings, amulets for example). These can also be red, but I advise you to keep your hunting bonuses until you are at level 75-80! You can also improve this merchant by rebuilding the city by allowing him to sell accessories for example.

New content, missions and dragons

Second content directly linked to the previous one, Wolcen Bloodtrail allows you to participate in rather nice missions, which can also be reinforced (more difficult, more loot) later. The mission guidelines are well done and the boss fights are pretty cool. You will find yourself facing a cute dragon who wants to burn you.

New minor content

You will also have some additional content in the game:

  • a fart that follows you and tells you the track and the loot
  • a new mirrormaid ship building that unlocks skins
  • a new spell (heel shot), improved spell UI (possibility to choose the type of damage directly) and passives
  • an overall improvement in balance, transformation bonus, gameplay improvement etc, which you will find on the Wolcen Bloodtrail official website if needed

What does not change

Now on to the things that annoy!

  • The bugs are still present, I had been more tolerant during my first test because the game had just been released, but after five patches before Bloodtrail it is sad to see that there are still so many bugs. Note that these bugs do not prevent you from playing the game but can get on your nerves!
  • French translations always with strawberries: translation which exceeds the planned box, incomplete translation, bad translation (eg: "listen to the surroundings" by "explore the surroundings")
  • A lack of added content: after a year and a lot of patch fixes, I personally expected more content (especially story mode), which I have been waiting for a while!
What makes <span style="font-family: 'arial black', 'avant garde';">inlingua</span> different The -
- Free additions for everyone
- The game always sublime, especially the dragon
- A lot of work from the developers ...

- ... which remains insufficient compared to expectations
(bug and content)

Alchemists SlashingCreeps

Wolcen Bloodtrail could have been a cornerstone to restore the image of Wolcen Studios. Although well made, the number of bugs and the limited content will disappoint many players. For my part, I recommend it if you liked the first instance of the game, without expecting too much either. This is also a good opportunity to try the game out if you haven't already and find it on sale!

Not bad
