Coffee Stain Studios a profité de la nuit pour sortir un énorme patch pour Sanctum, son FPS/Tower Defense. Ce dernier est vraiment considérable et ajoute trois nouveaux modes de jeux (Bounty — les phases de construction ont une limite de temps, Pre-built — des tourelles sont pré-construites sur les cartes et Stamina — le joueur débute la partie avec énormément d'argent, mais n'en gagne pas au cours de la partie), une nouvelle arme (un lance-roquettes) et une nouvelle tourelle de défense (Kairos qui ralentit les ennemis aériens). Mais ce patch ajoute également la localisation du jeu en plusieurs langues (y compris le français) et équilibre de nombreux points de détails du gameplay, sans oublier les sempiternelles corrections de petits bugs.

La liste complète des changements se trouve dans la suite de la nouvelle.

Sanctum Update - THE OLD CITY
