Sol Cesto Update v4 Adds the Vampire and Prepares for v1.0
Sol Cesto's fourth content update introduces a new character, a biome boss, and multiple items ahead of the game's upcoming 1.0 release. The base price will also increase from €12 to €14 following the current sale.
The final content update for Sol Cesto's Early Access phase brings a fresh roster addition, a reworked boss, and new gear. The developers also confirmed that the game's price will rise to €14 once the active sale ends.
New Character: The Vampire
The Vampire joins the roster with a movement-independent power. Activating her ability boosts her strength and magic stats for one turn while draining one health point from an opponent if she lands on a monster. Additionally, her talent gives her a small chance to spawn a bat upon killing a monster, which then eliminates a random monster and steals a health point from it.
Biome 3 Boss Rework
A giant sea serpent replaces the previous boss in biome 3. This new encounter can swallow players and spit them back out, while also introducing bubbling hazards to avoid.
Shop and Fountain Additions
Two new items arrive at the shop. The pile of rocks triggers a landslide beneath the hero that destroys all tiles below, including bonus items. Throwing stars randomly eliminate between one and four monsters currently on the screen. Meanwhile, the fountain gains a bird item that repairs broken flutes, allowing players to play new melodies after their flute shatters.
Pricing and 1.0 Outlook
The base price of Sol Cesto will increase from €12 to €14 after the current sale concludes. This update serves as the final content patch before version 1.0, though a specific release date for the full launch has not yet been announced.
Why this patch matters
Version 4 rounds out Sol Cesto's early access toolkit with interesting new mechanics like the Vampire and board-destroying rocks, while setting the stage for the imminent 1.0 launch.
