The latest update for sandbox strategy game Besiege on Steam is now live and brings with it a range of improvements and gameplay enhancements. Developer Spiderling Studios has also revealed that as part of Update V1.20, new Besiege merchandise is also now available for fans to get their hands on.
In an update on the game’s official Steam page, the developers have discussed the introduction of a new block into the gameplay, which is intended to give new players and novice builders a way to construct machines that fly. The new piece of kit will function in a similar way to a hot air balloon and is also customisable in terms of colour and mid-flight buoyancy.
In addition to this, the game’s UI has had a bit of a clean-up and refresh, in order to improve the overall gameplay experience for players. The full patch notes for Besiege Update V1.20 are listed below.
