Beloved Rapture Gets Major Update

Publisher 2 Left Thumbs and developer Rapturous Studio released a major free update for their turn-based RPG Beloved Rapture. The update, titled Lost Songs of Archon, adds a new region filled with new enemies, new treasures, new puzzles, and more. The full details pertaining to the update can be found here.

Players can access the new region, Trectus Peninsula, by reaching at least Chapter 6, defeating the optional boss Tyrannus, and speaking to Pliny at Playa Omara. Trectus Peninsulais is a wasteland-like peninsula connected to the main overworld. It is home to stronger enemies and allows player to fight Archon, a new boss with a music-based battle. Players will also be able to take on a replayable boss rush mode. In addition, the update adds rune and smithing shops throughout the entire game. It also comes with new cutscenes that expand the game’s lore.

Beloved Rapture, which underwent a successful Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign in 2019, is a fantasy RPG inspired by classic SNES titles. It follows a young man from the countryside named Johan, as a conflict involving a religious faction called the Aeons gets closer to his hometown. He is joined by nine other playable characters, including the son of a shrine caretaker Aiden, and the runaway noblewoman Crystal.

The game features pixel-art graphics with a 16-bit-inspired soundtrack and turn-based combat. There are no random battles, with combat being initiated by coming into contact with on-screen enemies. There are also powerful attacks called Relica, where party members infuse their weapon with magic, but at the cost of large amounts of MP. Beloved Rapture is currently available for PC via Steam, with a 33% discount until November 23, 2025.

Fascinated by the screens since I saw them, video games are a sorcery I quickly became obsessed with. This passion culminated with the discovery of the RPGs. At that time, they were likely the sole titles where story and world building mattered as much as gameplay. Now, I am writing about them, especially my favorite ones: the JRPGs!
