New features added

New missions added:

New exclusive Sync Strikes:

Resolved issues

• Even if the weapon art “May Guard Automatically, Shocking/Freezing/Burning Enemies” was activated with the Frox’s assault and the player defended automatically, the enemy would not enter the expected elemental state.
• If the player performs “Control Character” from the Pause Menu, there were occasions when the enhanced state would be nullified.
• When selecting “Retry” after specific control actions, there were instances where the background music would cease.
• Progression was impossible while utilizing GameShare.
• When communication was disrupted while using GameShare, attacks would not connect with certain enemies.

If you haven’t yet joined the battle in Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, here’s an excerpt of our review:

“With Zonai devices to engage with, a fantastic roster, numerous exciting Sync Strikes to execute, and an impressively polished representation of early Hyrule to commence your action in, this is a dream come true for hack-and-slash fans and Zelda admirers alike. While map layouts may still feel a bit monotonous, and co-op mode is 30fps, everything else here combines to deliver the best installment in this spin-off franchise thus far.”
