by

In a fresh twist for players, the latest update (Version 1.6) of the Metroidvania game titled “Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree,” developed by Primal Game Studio, introduces New Game Plus mode. This allows gamers to embark on a new adventure once they’ve completed the game, encountering more challenging opponents along the way.

Just like the game Dark Souls, you’ll have the opportunity to undertake several New Game Plus (NG+) cycles where the difficulty progressively intensifies for the initial ten levels. Moreover, enemies might possess random auras and effects that amplify their deadliness. To enhance your resilience and damage output, you can acquire upgraded versions of weapons and equipment in the NG+ stages as well.

Enthusiasts eager for a fresh adventure will find three novel weapons: the Aurora and Crimson Slicer daggers, along with the Reignbreaker two-handed mace. Update 1.6 also brings several user-friendly improvements like canceling and refunding skill upgrade costs, unlearning specific nodes, and an added Quick Buy/Sell feature for a smoother gameplay experience.

Take a look at the updates detailed below. The game titled “Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree” is now playable on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC, and Nintendo Switch. For a review of the original game, please follow this link.
