NEW: AERENA - MASTERS EDITION

Release Date: 10 February, 2015

Platforms: Steam (PC/Mac)
Regular Price: USD 13.99

AERENA - Masters Edition has been streamlined to adapt to the suggestions of many Aerena players, who are willing to pay for a good game upfront and don´t want to be bothered with free to play mechanics: limited daily in-game currency income, very long grind to afford all Champions, Shells & Ships.
Match relevant items (Ships, Shells and Champions) are earned in-game by playing missions.
All Skins can be unlocked with the additional DLC: Skin Pack (USD 9.99)
AERENA: Masters Edition will be the only remaining version in the Steam store but F2P version players will keep the game in the library and receive all future updates. Both versions share the same servers and player base.

AERENA: Masters Edition announced!

In order to better reach the F2P skeptical players who are otherwise very interested in the game, we decided this is a good next step for the game.
We received feedback suggesting such a version countless times in the forums, reviews and on conventions:
No micro transactions, no premium currency and a sped up progression without the limitations of the f2p mechanics.
All match relevant content of the game will be quickly unlocked by playing. All Skins for Champions and Ships are available with the Skin Pack DLC.

In addition to the changes, there will be a new game mode: SURVIVAL
Fight Moby Dick, the white whale that heals itself at the beginning of each turn! Against this seemingly invincible opponent, the goal is to survive as many turns as possible to reach the high-score in the leader-boards. This mode is also the perfect practice for defensive play styles!

New arena! The community created Children of God arena 'Altar of Faith' gets implemented. MuminSlayer, the winner of the map creation contest, gets prominently featured on it with his nickname on the side of the platform for all players to see during the intro camera.
