Primal Fray Devlog #06 – Multiplayer Mode
Hello, Sky Adventurers!
In today’s devlog, let’s talk about the game's PvP mode and how you can ruin your friendships challenge your friends to a duel!
Primal Fray features a Versus mode, where you can fight another player in a hot seat match not unlike the Worms series, for example.
First, build a map by "painting" over the hex grid or select one of the predefined battlefields. You can change the desired biome, too.
Also, if you decide to have a gaping hole instead of a lake in the middle of the map, you can delete hexes.
Next, draft your Primal team. Select how many Primals you'd like from different tiers, then create your dream team...
...and that's it! All that remains is to place Primals on the map, and may the best player win! It's like chess, except with monsters (and therefore way cooler).
Versus mode is a great way to test your skills and spend time with your friend. Plus, you can create and test your strategies on the best player in the world – yourself!
That’s all for today’s devlog! Share your thoughts below—I’d love to hear them. Thank you for reading, and I’ll see you in a couple of weeks!
Cheers!
PS Wishing you a happy new year and lots of great games to play!

Primal Fray Devlog #05 – Top Tier Primals
Hello, Sky Adventurers!
In today’s devlog, let’s talk about the most powerful Primals in the game: Tier III Primals.
If you survive long enough during the Elemental Run, you’ll encounter some of the most useful (and dangerous) Primals in the game.
Here are just a few of them:
This fiery lord delivers MASSIVE ranged AoE damage. Just look at the GIF below, where it effortlessly disposes of three enemies! A devastating ability—though you might wonder, how will you survive if you face Stigor in battle...?
This Primal is a master of ambush tactics, making it an excellent choice for paired attacks. It can teleport behind you and zap you with its deadly laser gaze. Facing Lumor alone is unwise—teams of two or three Primals stand a better chance.
This flying, frog-like demon wields powerful arcane storms that can vaporize enemies in its range. Whether as an ally or an opponent, Magurana is a force to be reckoned with.
This desert lion excels in close combat with rapid, relentless attacks. It can even take down shielded Primals and shove them off the map! When battling Leo, keep your Primals far from cliffs—you’ve been warned.
This icy serpent freezes every hex it moves across and boasts a powerful shielding ability that protects all units nearby. And its tail? You definitely don’t want to be in its range when Serpia strikes.
It feels great to have these mighty Primals on your side, but can you endure their attacks if they turn against you? There’s only one way to find out!

Primal Fray Devlog #04 – Overcharge Mode
Hello, Sky Adventurers!
In today's devlog, let's discuss Overcharge Mode – a challenging game mode that becomes available after you finish the Elemental run.
Sooner or later, you'll reach the end of the Elemental Run. But even then, the game won't be over! Completing the run unlocks Overcharge Mode, a special mode where you can adjust the difficulty settings of various aspects of the run.
You can adjust the following settings:
Just to give you an example, I started a run with some of those settings: bosses with extra HP, enemies dealing more damage, and enemies spawning at a higher tier.
The start was manageable, though the enhanced enemies gave me some trouble. I managed to scrape my way to the boss, and even then, things didn't seem too bad...
...Until Inferia wiped 3 Primals off the map in a single attack.
Overcharge Mode allows you to tinker with almost all aspects of gameplay, pushing your skills to the limit even more than the base run. Every single move counts, and mastering this mode is incredibly satisfying.
That's it for today's devlog! Let me know what you think below. Thank you for reading and see you in a couple of weeks!
Cheers!

- General's Call – boss fights involve additional enemies
- Downgrade – some of your base upgrades are disabled
- ...and much more!

Primal Fray Devlog #03 – Dancing with the Bosses
Hello, Sky Adventurers!
In today's devlog, let's talk about the most powerful enemies you'll encounter in the Rift: the bosses!
At the end of every biome (i.e., 3 times in a run) you'll face a mighty boss that you'll need to defeat in order to progress.
The first one you'll face is the Mechataur, who awaits you at the end of the first run (Ironclad Training Facility). Although it's a 'tutorial' boss, don't underestimate its rocket attacks – they deal quite a bit of damage.
Upon completing the Ironclad Training Facility, you'll gain access to the Elemental Run. This is where the fun (and true challenge) begins. There are five bosses ready to kick you right back where you came from.
This fearsome ice dragon fires a laser beam that damages everything in its path. Plus, she can turn the ground into ice and use it to unleash heavy attacks. To defeat her, you'll need to keep moving and watch the ground below.
The forest god can spawn bushes, which can later transform into Nature Spirits. The less bushes on the map, the better – while the Spirits deal only minor damage, they can still overwhelm you in great numbers.
This four-armed deity uses powerful AoE attacks and spawns enemies. The longer the fight goes on, the stronger those enemies become, so will you focus on the boss, or take care of the minions first?
The lady of fire wields her clubs to rain flames on your Primals. To defeat her, is pay close attention to where the fireballs will land on the next turn.
This desert snake may not deal a lot of damage, but its wind blasts can blow your Primals off the map! Properly positioning your allies is key here.
As you play Primal Fray, you'll eventually encounter all of the bosses above. Good luck then (you're going to need it).
