The story of a wizard traveler fighting for hope

The city of Wizarest has been cut off from communication with the outside world.

Those who have awakened have forgotten who they are, who their neighbors are, and live without any memories of their past.

The only thing they know is the danger of the dungeons surrounding the city, the monsters that inhabit them, and the magic they need to counter them.

The citizens have been trying to navigate the dungeons for years but to no avail. And 100 years later, no exit has been found.

And now, a new wizard is heading into the dungeons to defy the monsters…

Experience a turn-based game where chain attacks and attributes are key to victory

The battles in this game are simple yet deep, and each turn is crucial!

Make full use of the timeline above the screen to elaborate on your strategy.

Read the enemy’s HP, the attack order, everybody’s status and aim for the most effective way to win the battle.

Water is stronger than Fire. Fire is stronger than Wind. Wind is stronger than Earth. Earth is stronger than Water. Keep this in mind and use the best attacks to counter the enemy.

Use chain attacks to kill the enemy quickly.

Bonus effects increase damage and stats, strengthening your offensive capabilities.

Ameliorate your party with Anima Fusion

The player and their 3 homunculi.

At first glance, they look like fairies. They have the power to ease the souls of defeated monsters and can fuse with them with “Anima Fusion”.

Thanks to Anima Fusion, they can use the stats, status, skills, and appearance of a defeated monster.

Adopt stronger monster abilities, inherit skills, and create your own powerful guardian.

“I’m really happy to hear the girl I like missed me”

Konoha Satou has a dark history. After all, she spent her teen years writing self-indulgent fantasy romance fics-like her Dark History. But since she’s become its most despicable villainess, remembering every last detail is now a matter of life-and-death.

Having avoided the first couple of death flags, Satou’s suddenly left in the dark when a mysterious stranger returns from the Lily Kingdom-a character she doesn’t recall writing in the original script. Although Yomi claims to be her ally, can Satou really trust a character she knows nothing about in such a dangerous world?

LET IT DIE: INFERNO Reveals Post-Launch Update Roadmap

By
Soul Kiwami

GungHo Online Entertainment and Supertrick Games has revealed its post-launch update roadmap for survival action roguelite game LET IT DIE: INFERNO. According to the roadmap, LET IT DIE: INFERNO will receive various new modes, quality-of-life improvements, and new features. The updates will be released in Season 1 (December 2025 to February 2026), Season 2 (March to May 2026), and Season 3 (June to August 2026).

Get the full details below, via GungHo Online Entertainment:

New Features and Content

      • Hell Gate Threshold: We’ve added a new mode called Hell Gate Threshold, designed for players who want to experience LET IT DIE: INFERNO without any PvP encounters. This area still includes enemies, hazards, and items just like usual, but you won’t run into other players. You can replay this area as much as you want, but please note: your Body Rank won’t increase while you’re inside. Keep that in mind before you dive in! 
      • Radar Update: It will soon be much easier to tell when another player is nearby. Previously, enemies and players appeared the same on the radar, which made it hard to know what you were walking into. With the upcoming update, players will be clearly marked as players, so you’ll always know exactly who you’re dealing with. This feature won’t be available at launch, but it’s actively in development.  
      • Escape Pods: We’ve increased the number of Escape Pods and adjusted their placement so players can return once the right conditions are met. The tutorial also wasn’t doing a great job of explaining how the Escape Pod works, so we improved that section to make everything easier to understand. 
      • Motion Blur: We also heard a lot of feedback about motion blur. Many players mentioned that it made things hard to see, so we took that seriously. We’ve improved the overall visual clarity, not just the motion blur, to make everything easier on the eyes and reduce strain. These updates will be ready for release. 
      • Enemy Behavior: On the combat side, a number of improvements have been made. Enemy behavior, animations, and spawn patterns were adjusted, and weapon balance, combo flow, and attack range were tuned to match. The goal is to make battles feel more satisfying and to reward players who master the game’s mechanics. Overall, the combat experience should feel smoother, fairer, and a lot more fun. 

Roadmap

LET IT DIE INFERNO roadmap

We’ll be rolling out updates with each new season, so we wanted to share an overview of the roadmap. 

      • Season Structure: LET IT DIE: INFERNO will follow a seasonal format, with each season lasting roughly three months. Season 1 will run through February, and Season 2 will begin around March. 
      • Season Reset: At the start of each new season, we’ll be implementing a reset. Certain progress will stay intact, such as expanded character slots, storage, and inventory capacity. However, things like collected items, SPLithium-based mastery progress, and other in-run progression will be reset and cleared out once per season. 
      • Crafting Enhancements: The game includes a blueprint-based crafting system, and while we can’t share all the details yet, we are planning a significant upgrade to crafting in Season 2. 

LET IT DIE: INFERNO launched on December 3 for PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam. Standard, Deluxe, and Ultimate Editions are available with the following items:

  • Standard Edition ($24.99):
    • Digital copy
  • Deluxe Edition ($44.99):
    • Everything in Standard Edition
    • Support Pack
    • Sasuke Body Bundle
    • Ability to create game rooms 
  • Ultimate Edition ($59.99):
    • Everything in Deluxe Edition

Gadget Additions and Adjustments in Ver. 1.2.0

Since launch, we’ve observed two common strategies emerge in online matches:

  1. Using drift-type gadgets to maintain top positions.
  2. Staying in 9th – 12th place and using item control gadgets to get powerful items late in the race and quickly jump to top positions.

Both strategies made it very difficult for those in 4th – 8th place to make a comeback.

Therefore, in Ver.1.2.0, we’ve added and strengthened support-type and item-type gadgets to make it easier to make comebacks from 4th – 8th place.

We will continue monitoring online gadget usage and win rates to adjust balance going forward.

New Gadgets

We’ve added 6 gadgets!

  • Item Control Type
    • Lucky Pair
    • Double Down
  • Support Type
    • Ring Mercy
    • Damage Mercy
    • Item Mercy
    • Strong Finish

Gadgets can be obtained once your Gadget Plate reaches “Silver Plate” or higher.

The following gadgets which were previously distributed as Festival rewards can now be purchased with Donpa Tickets from the gadget customization screen:

  • Boost Character Kit
  • Power Character Kit
  • Handling Character Kit
  • Comeback Kit
  • Sea Dog Kit

These can be purchased if your gadget plate is “Master Plate” or higher

Gadget Adjustments
  • Quick Recovery
    • Further reduced downtime after taking a hit.
    • Previously, Quick Recovery provided a large benefit when hit, but losing rings often led to lower final positions. The gadget has been adjusted to allow more mid-position endurance.
  • Acceleration Machine Kit
    • Recovery timing further reduced to align with Quick Recovery’s adjustments.
  • Wisp Chance UP
    • Reduced the influence on item probability.
    • Previously, Wisp Chance UP made it too easy to collect powerful items before the race’s end and aim for top positions. We’ve dialed this back a bit.
  • Invincible Start
    • Vehicles now flash just before the effect ends to make timing clearer.
Other Adjustments
  • Adjusted the appearance of Silver and Blaze’s AI skins and the color of Race Park rivals “Team Dimension,” as they could be mistaken for Invincible state.
    • For the eagle-eyed, the new color scheme is based on the “Turquoise Blue” aura Silver the Hedgehog emits when activating his abilities!
  • Improved machine handling after collisions with other machines in water areas.
  • Improved directional input detection to make it easier to use items in the intended direction while drifting.
  • Adjusted race communication to prioritize syncing information that affects race progression, improving correct reflection of Invincibility such as Ultimate Charge activation.
  • Strengthened anti-cheat measures for races and race results in online play such as Global Match on PC.
Concerning Anti-Cheat Measures

With Patch Ver.1.2.0, we have strengthened our anti-cheat measures to ensure a fair and secure online environment. These improvements focus primarily on countering cheating behaviors that give players an unfair advantage in World Match and Time Trial.

If cheating activity continues to increase, we may be required to consider additional anti-cheat measures across a broader range of systems, depending on the situation. To ensure that all players can enjoy the game safely and fairly, we kindly ask for your continued cooperation in maintaining a fair and secure gameplay environment. 

We will continue to listen to the community and make ongoing improvements to protect the player experience and ensure that the game remains a healthy and enjoyable environment for everyone.

Thank you once again for your continued support of Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds.
