In the meantime, please stay tuned for many more development updates and exciting surprises. Thank you for being a part of this journey with us! In the vast world of Uwando, you'll encounter weather phenomena that can make survival challenging for wandering caravans. This meteorological chaos is known as the Phithi. During your travels, you may come across various weather types such as Sandstorms and Acid Downpours : [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41122402/df6c379f7fd4575543bd7c0f44c4b3b28682238f.gif[/img] In each playthrough, you'll discover different weather phenomena depending on the regions you explore, which will significantly impact how you approach your journey on the world map. The choice is yours – whether to brave these challenges or take a more cautious path.

Well, these weather phenomena seriously limit your visibility and, at the same time, present their own set of unique challenges and rewards! In them, you will encounter some new types of enemies.

In conclusion, as you start your adventure in Uwando, the chaotic weather can be both your greatest challenge and a source of unique rewards.
