Dark Point Games recently launched a massive new content patch for its 3D hack-and-slash RPG Achilles: Legends Untold. The Spider Cave update introduced the titular cave map where you will be fighting big and dangerous spiders. Some of them can spit venom and melt your skin, while others are fiery and can burn you with every attack.
That's not all! The Spider Cave update implements a plethora of quality-of-life improvements, starting with the highly requested save slot system. Now, you have three separate save slots, allowing you to have three separate playthroughs. Each save slot contains useful information, including your last location, game difficulty, and character level.
Additionally, you can access the game tutorials tab to help you re-learn the mechanics of Achilles: Legends Untold. If you like using a gamepad while playing, this patch also introduced controller vibrations, giving you some feedback when certain things happen on the screen.

Aside from new content, Dark Point Games shared some details about the current state of the game's co-op feature.
