Quartet Gets New Update

Developer Something Classic Games released a new update for its pixel-art turn-based RPG Quartet, currently available on PC, Mac, and Linux. The version 1.1 update adds a hard mode, airship travel improvements, battle turbo, enemy data, streamer mode, and more.

The hard mode lets players fight enemies that deal more damage, with many foes having enhanced movesets and more aggressive attack patterns. Airship travel has been improved with faster movements and the addition of location names and information. Players can now speed up battle animations. They can also see enemies’ resistance based on attack types they previously used against them. The full details pertaining to the update can be found here.

Quartet features four stories — including a series of train robberies leading to a government conspiracy and a mysterious deck of cards that gives a young girl a vision of another world — that intertwine and can be tackled in any order. The game’s combat sees up to eight heroes fighting in the party; four are active at any time, with the others in reserve slots regenerating their Action Points to be ready to be swapped in.
