Sanctum – ‘The Old City’ Patch Announced

If you’ve got a thing for first-person tower defense shooter games, then you’re in luck. During this weekend on Steam, Coffee Stain’s hit indie title is playable for free by everyone with a Steam account. Add to this a content update if you purchase the game, and you’ve got a weekend that’s packed with gaming fun.

The developer has just announced not only the addition of the free weekend for Sanctum, but a new DLC patch for the game that will add new content. The update is called “The Old City,” and it’s set to add two new maps, a new tower, and a new weapon.

“Elysion One Overrun received a lot of feedback and we’ve used it to make this batch of downloadable content a lot better,” Lead Designer Oscar Jilsen explained. “For one, we’ve ensured that everyone, and I do mean everyone, will have access to the new tower and weapon. We want our free content to be as good as our paid stuff. They’re going to further the story a bit more,” Jilsen added. “Slums will bring players to the Old City, a place that we haven’t really had the opportunity to show just yet. Elsewhere, the rescue efforts are going deeper underground to escape the aliens because the roots the aliens originate from are incapable of going below a certain depth. All in all, we’re working on expanding on the universe and showing the real plot behind Sanctum.”

Sanctum demands lightning reflexes, on-your-feet strategy, and teamwork to come out victorious. If you think you’ve got what it takes, give the game a shot.
