Achilles: Legends Untold - Ishikiri
Welcome warriors!
It's now been about a year since the game was first released. We've made a lot of progress during that time and a big part of it is thanks to our players. Your commitment and feedback has allowed us to bring the game to new levels of quality, and we hope that it will continue to do so up until the full release, later this year.
And as we celebrate the game's anniversary in Early Access, we present you with The Spider Cave Update, introducing swarms of new features.
Before we dive in, we want to share a short trailer with you. Head on over to the link below to take a look at the epic new content!
Now that you’re familiar with the additions, let’s go over the highlights in more detail.
This update introduces a brand new location on the game’s map - the titular Spider Cave. Venture into the dark unknown, exploring each and every crevice while searching for untold loot in spider nests. New materials? Useful items? Certain death? Who knows what you might find here…
(WARNING: the Spiders don’t take too kindly to visitors.)
This is a feature that has been often requested by our players, so we got to work. This is the result: a brand new Save Slot system, complete with 3 separate slots for 3 separate simultaneous playthroughs of Achilles: Legends Untold. Each slot shows the location where you left off, game difficulty, your character’s level, and the day you last played.
Rather than using venom like their green counterparts, these Spiders prefer burning their prey with a gust of fire. Better bring some marshmallows!
The floral cast of the game has also been expanded. Biggest of all plants, this deadly creature spits explosive seeds, and could probably swallow Achilles in one bite. Keep your distance or become a bag of fertilizer!
Another useful new menu feature is the Tutorials Tab, accessible from the inventory menu. In this section, you can revisit every tutorial screen you’ve seen so far, thereby making it the Complete “Achilles: Legends Untold” Basic Movement And Essential Mechanics Knowledge Base™.
Here’s a full list of changes made in version 0.4.0 of Achilles: Legends Untold, a.k.a. “The Spider Cave Update”:
NEW:
- Added a new Cave map to explore (and perish while fighting spiders).
- Added 2 new enemies - a bigger, stronger plant variant and fire spiders.
- Introduced save slots - now you’re able to lead 3 separate playthroughs!
- Introduced a game tutorials tab, accessible from the inventory menu.
- Added 2 new GAIA (Group AI Action) actions to make Heretic enemies even more deadly.
- Introduced controller vibrations.
- Added deers running around in some locations.
- Introduced new options: Gamma Correction & Anti-Aliasing Method Selection.
UPDATED:
- New and improved head and face for Achilles - that’s right, Achilles has a new look! Enjoy!
- Improved the dismemberment system, so you can dominate enemies even more.
- Many combat improvements, like the ability to interrupt blows (animation canceling) or a better axe experience.
- Some balance improvements, especially considering status effects. For example, it’s now harder to extinguish the flames on a player.
- Some clarity improvements, like additional descriptions in shrines.
- Some items and status effects icon improvements.
FIXES:
- Slight overall game performance improvement.

- Camera now cannot move far away while changing the map.
- The player can now be hit by Agamenmon’s special skills even when he’s standing higher.
- Fire FX no longer appears above the ground.
- Weapon upgrades increase weapon damage instantly, so there is no need to wait for the game to be reloaded.
- Collisions on attacks have been improved, it should no longer happen that a blow does not hit even though the opponent was in range.
- Target lock has been fixed for sprint attacks.
- Many other minor bugs.
NOTICE
We would like to update our players on the current status of our game's co-op feature. At the moment, there are issues with accessing it through the random session search. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused, and our team is working to get this issue resolved by the next update. In the meantime, users can still access the co-op feature through direct invites or by joining from a friend's list.That’s all for this post. Remember that you can share your feedback with us either through the discussions tab in our Steam Community Hub or by visiting our Discord server!
