Surprise updates can often be a delightful treat for fans, and that’s exactly what publisher Dangen Entertainment and developer Moonsprout Games have delivered with Bug Fables: The Everlasting Sapling. Released in celebration of the game’s fifth anniversary, this new update, version 1.2, is now available on all platforms including PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Gamers returning to Bugaria will find a plethora of fresh content awaiting them, designed to enhance their experience long after the main story has concluded.
Originally launching in 2019, Bug Fables quickly earned a spot in the hearts of RPG enthusiasts, drawing inspiration from the beloved Paper Mario series by Nintendo and Intelligent Systems. Players take command of a trio of insects—Vi, Kabbu, and Leif—as they navigate their way through Bugaria, all in pursuit of the fabled Everlasting Sapling. Along the way, they encounter a host of colorful characters and challenges. Critics and players alike praised the game for its engaging characters, strategic combat, and enriching content, particularly its robust post-game offerings. Though it debuted on the Nintendo Switch, Bug Fables eventually spread its wings to other platforms like PC and PlayStation. Now, five years down the line, there’s more to explore than ever before.
The newly released version 1.2 update is packed with exciting additions, especially for those who have completed the main storyline. A standout feature is the introduction of new endgame bosses, raising the stakes for seasoned players. In addition, 11 fresh medals can be collected, each one contributing to a deeper and more varied gameplay experience.
A brand-new fishing mechanic has been introduced, allowing players to try their hand at catching worms in the lake. These aquatic mini-missions are not just side quests; they come with their own unique compendium. Plus, players can now recruit allies to lend a hand in battles alongside the main trio. To complement these updates, a new music track enriches the game’s already captivating soundtrack.
Quality-of-life improvements are also part of this patch. For instance, Vi’s Beemerang has been tweaked to allow aiming in the nearest eight cardinal directions during combat, making battles more intuitive. As a nod of appreciation to the community, Moonsprout Games extended their gratitude for the overwhelming support over the past five years. Whether you’re a seasoned fan or a newcomer, this revamp presents the perfect opportunity to dive back into the world of Bug Fables: The Everlasting Sapling.
