Since the release of Tempest Rising last year, a new RTS title inheriting the classic style, the single-player campaign content for the mysterious third faction, the Vetis, has always been the core focus of player attention and discussion.
Now, the Vetis faction expansion pack, The Vetis Wrath, has been released. As long as commanders are prepared, the Vetis will demonstrate their thousand-year-old power to the Dynasty and GDF, seizing their faction's status and glory through strategy!
The Vetis faction is available for free trial in multiplayer games. The exclusive single-player campaign content is unlocked through the Tempest Rising: The Vetis Wrath expansion pack, which offers a 10% discount during the first two weeks of launch, bringing the price down to 75.59 CNY. Meanwhile, the base game is also offered at a 50% discount, and the Gold Edition is simultaneously available with a 35% discount.
Unique Faction-Specific Gameplay
This update will fully unlock the Vetis faction for commanders in multiplayer games. Whether in quick match, custom games, or skirmishes, players can freely use the Vetis army to crush Everythinggj in their path.
As the third faction, the Vetis possess a gameplay system entirely different from that of the Global Defense Force and the Storm Dynasty, with its operational core revolving almost completely around "Awakened" units.
Awakened units are the most basic ground units, periodically and automatically produced at a slow pace from the "Resurrection Anchor" in the base construction core and the technological building "Enclosure."
However, acquiring them through the above methods is relatively slow. More commonly, players engage in combat with enemies, killing large numbers of enemy infantry to convert them into a vast army of Awakened units.
For the Vetis faction, Awakened units serve as a "human resource" independent of the monetary resource system. All Vetis combat units can gain various powerful buffs by using the "Sacrifice" command to consume Awakened units.
Additionally, Vetis faction base construction, from resource gathering to building upgrades and production efficiency, all rely on support from "Ascension Pillars." Both constructing and upgrading Ascension Pillars require consuming Awakened units.
In essence, the main strategic consideration for the Vetis faction is how to reasonably balance monetary resources and human resources.
Brand New Single-Player Campaign Expansion
The highlight of this update is the complete Vetis faction story mode, which includes 11 campaigns and requires the purchase of the Vetis Faction Expansion Pack to unlock. Commanders who have experienced the Global Defense Force and Storm Dynasty campaign missions should be well aware that the war between these factions is far from over, and the interim answers lie within the Vetis faction's story.
One notable change in the campaign story is that the development team has taken player feedback into account, significantly reducing some side missions in the Vetis campaign that were cumbersome to complete or easy to miss. This has noticeably improved the smoothness of gameplay, avoiding situations like those in the previous two factions' campaigns where missing side achievements forced players to replay missions or reload saves.
Perhaps because of this, the focused Vetis campaign provides more detailed showcases for each newly unlocked unit in every mission, effectively serving as a "tutorial" for each unit.
For instance, when players leverage specially designed terrain and enemy defenses to maneuver massive vehicles capable of teleportation to crush their opponents, it’s truly satisfying, while also providing insight into the combat strategy and usage of these units.
As the climax of Tempest Rising's storyline, the Vetis faction will face extremely powerful opponents and encounter unexpected allies in this epic battle. It can be described as a satisfying "resolution," while also marking a new beginning filled with unknown possibilities.
A new faction, a new story, new challenges. The Vetis forces are now ready. Commanders, please establish command links and begin deployment—
