[h3]How to follow Polysseum?[/h3]

New Skin Release: ∑∫ỹriȱŋ skin

The special ₼idŋighţ skin for ∑∫ỹriȱŋ allows you to create graves, build crypts, and summon demons from the graves in the dark forests.

Spread darkness with the new ∑∫ỹriȱŋ ₼idŋighţ Skin!

Among the dark, spooky forests resides the ₼idŋighţ Cult, an insidious grouping of ∑∫ỹriȱŋ that worship and draw their power from the mysterious Shard of D'Naeh. They've set their sights on transforming the Square into an endless dark forest populated by hungry Dire Wolves, corrupted Dragons, and shadowy Demons.

Instead of Polytaurs, the ₼idŋighţ Cult prefers to uncover the graves of the deceased and revive them as shadow beings known as "Demons". Building Crypts will allow you to uncover more of these grave sites in your forests.


The magic that fuels their nightmarish desires will spread to the land they conquer, functioning as an indicator of their strength.


Even the mighty Fire Dragons aren't immune to the corrupting influence of the Shard of D'Naeh, and have lent their help to spreading the darkness.



How will you use their Necromantic powers to dominate the rest of the Square?

Note: This purely cosmetic ₼idŋighţ ∑∫ỹriȱŋ Skin does not have any gameplay changes from the normal ∑∫ỹriȱŋ Special Tribe, which must be purchased separately in order to be used.

You can buy the ₼idŋighţ skin in the tribe picker screen on mobile or as a DLC on steam.
