Surprise Update Released for Bug Fables

Dangen Entertainment and Moonsprout Games recently took Bug Fables: The Everlasting Sapling fans by surprise with a significant update to mark the game’s fifth anniversary. Players on all platforms—whether they’re on PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, or Xbox One—can dive into version 1.2, which is loaded with fresh post-game content. This update comes as a treat for those who have already wrapped up the main campaign, offering plenty of new challenges to spice up the adventure.

Released back in 2019, Bug Fables has always worn its inspiration on its sleeve. It draws heavily from Nintendo and Intelligent Systems’ acclaimed Paper Mario series, particularly tugging at nostalgic hearts reminiscent of the N64’s classic and its follow-up, The Thousand-Year Door. Tasked with leading the quirky team of Vi, Kabbu, and Leif across Bugaria, players set off on an epic quest for the Everlasting Sapling, encountering a host of insect allies and foes along the way. Renowned for its charming characters, strategic combat, and engaging post-game content, Bug Fables first captured the imagination of Nintendo Switch players before spreading its wings to other platforms a year later. And now, the indie RPG is back with a bundle of new content, waiting for adventurers old and new to explore.

In this latest update, players can tackle thrilling new endgame bosses and hunt down 11 additional medals that bring fresh layers to the gameplay experience. Perhaps one of the most exciting new features is the fishing mechanic, allowing players to catch various worms at the lake and add them to a special compendium. Alongside this, the game introduces new allies who can fight alongside the main characters, providing new dynamics in battles. Plus, there’s a brand-new music track that enriches Bugaria’s already beloved soundtrack.

The update also introduces some handy quality-of-life enhancements. For example, Vi’s Beemerang can now lock onto the closest of eight cardinal directions, making battles more intuitive. The developers have also expressed their gratitude towards the Bug Fables community for their support over the past five years, making this update an excellent opportunity for long-time fans to return or for newcomers to dive in for the first time.

In summary, Bug Fables: The Everlasting Sapling Version 1.2 brings a variety of new features:

• Fishing in The Fishing Village: Reel in some worms!
• New Post-Game Bosses: Challenge the legendary heroes in B.O.S.S. mode.
• Team Up with Allies: Use a special medal to have new allies join your adventure.
• 11 New Medals: Discover innovative gameplay mechanics.
• New Items: Hunt for treasures hidden throughout the overworld.
• One New Music Track: Add another tune to enjoy while exploring Bugaria.
• Quality-of-Life Tweaks: Vi’s Beemerang now locks to the nearest eight cardinal directions and a grace period post-fall makes freezing easier. Language fixes and tiny bug resolutions round out the improvements.

For fans and first-timers alike, this update offers plenty of reasons to dive back into the whimsical world of Bugaria.
