Terra Nil, is an "eco-puzzler" game from Free Lives (Broforce, GORN) and it's just received its first free major update, taking the form of the Vita Nova update, it brings a plethora of new features and content to the game. To celebrate the update, the game is also 40% off on Steam until June 27th, 2024.

Before we go into what this new update adds to Terra Nil, you can check out the update's trailer below:

The Vita Nova update brings 5 new levels and 9 new buildings to Terra Nil, as well as improving other aspects of the game, such as animal behavior.

New levels include Polluted Bay, a dead landscape carved in half by a badly polluted river, and Scorched Caldera, a vast volcanic crater that you must terraform into a life-filled freshwater lake.

The game's world map is now fully 3D and can be freely rotated allowing you to get a better overview of the world you're restoring.

Animals will now emerge more naturally as you play and have a deeper set of needs to fulfill to keep them happy and abundant. This not only adds a new dimension of strategy to the game but gives you more animals to admire, a brand new species has also been added to the game, the jaguar.

Are you ready to take on this meditative twist on the city-builder genre where you use advanced eco-tech to transform a barren, desolate wasteland into a thriving, vibrant ecosystem? Purify soil, clean oceans, plant trees, reintroduce wildlife and then recycle everything and move on, leaving no trace you were ever there.

Terra Nil is available on Steam now for $24.99, although there's a 40% discount for the next week until June 27th, 2024. The game is rated as Playable on the Steam Deck, due to some controller issues and small in-game text. We found that the game plays quite nicely on the Steam Deck in our review of Terra Nil.
