Galacticare getting new free mode via update

As an experienced gamer who’s been through the gauntlet of countless challenging games, I must say the latest update for Galacticare piques my interest! The Challenge Mode looks like it’s going to push me to the brink of my gaming skills, and that’s exactly what I crave.


The developers at Brightrock Games, together with publishers CULT Games, have unveiled an upgrade for the game Galacticare, introducing a fresh, complimentary gaming mode.

The update is set to roll out on platforms like Steam, Epic Games Store, GOG, Xbox Series S|X, and will eventually arrive on PS5, with the developer indicating that it’s coming “soon”.

According to Josh Bishop, Creative Director and co-founder at Brightrock Games, Challenge Mode is our solution for players asking for a tougher gaming experience. It’s designed to be harsh, requiring players to use all their skills, and it’s perfect for those who want to add an extra layer of intensity to their Galacticare adventure.

Check out the new trailer, and the official word below:


 

As I find myself battling the Grim Reaper head-on in this brand-new Challenge Mode, my game’s hospital seems to creak under the burden of an unprecedented onslaught of death. In this mode, every single mechanic has been cranked up to a heart-stopping intensity that leaves me breathless with anticipation.

Here’s the key features for the free update:

  • It’s mutating!: Welcome deadly new strains as the conditions you’ve learned to cure now mutate to be incredibly infectious and highly fatal! Make sure to put your nerds into the Research Lab to find the cure and keep fatalities to a financially-tolerable minimum while you work on the cure.
  • Ready or not, here they come: Patients are swarming into the sanitised halls of your hospital, and their numbers are only increasing! Disruptive and inconsiderate, requiring rooms you haven’t yet built, choking your hospital corridors with queues… Good luck, Director.
  • Anyone got a spare body bag?: With patients arriving on their last legs (or tentacles), their health will deteriorate much faster. You’ll need your full suite of treatment tools to save them, especially now that treatment difficulty has increased, requiring happy, high-level doctors to keep patients consistently alive (and able to pay you!)
  • A hard knock life: By 2049, patients are flat broke. Income from treatments is reduced, the traveling merchant is far less generous with freebies and Level 3 doctors can no longer be recruited directly. You’ll have to train them yourself.
  • Actions have Consequences: Lose too many patients and have your hospital snatched by the “Space Cops”. Oops!
