- Primal Fray prepares for release with 2.0 version - 10 November 2025
It's a last update before release and there was a lot that had to be done. Mostly making sure all 17 languages work as intended. In hindsight, it may have been a little bit of an overkill. Fun fact: Atlas with chinese glyphs is the largest file present in the game Changes: Tested and fixed 17 languages Primal Fray is translated to:Made sure all descriptions are translating correctlyMade sure all fonts are displaying correctlyMade sure all text is keeping to the confines of display boxes Squashed last gameplay bugs:Primals were sometimes walking when supposed to attack leading to unpredictable outcomesPrimals spawning sprites could contradict each other f.e. Serpia spawning sprites from ice on the tile where a blockade is, resulting to both blockade and primal being on the same hexEnemy primals weren't always able to be slowedEnemy primals weren't properly receiving Berserk and Overload…

- Dev Diary Meet our Nature Primals! - 14 April 2025
As Primal Fray is set to soon debut on Steam, we’d love to share our favorite 1st-tier Primals with you! Let’s start with Robus A high Primal with a unique style. Robus can deal significant damage and teleport to his allies, taking heavy hits for them or delivering the final blow. An ideal choice for your starting team! ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) Another great pick is Fungler A tiny mushroom who uses his surroundings to his advantage, dealing considerable damage to nearby enemies. Great on the battlefield and extremely cute — what more could you want? (˶˃ ᵕ ˂˶) And last but not least – Spirit One of the smallest Primals, with a minimalist yet effective design.

- Primal Fray Devlog #06 – Multiplayer Mode - 4 January 2025
Hello, Sky Adventurers! In today’s devlog, let’s talk about the game's PvP mode and how you can ruin your friendships challenge your friends to a duel! Primal Fray features a Versus mode, where you can fight another player in a hot seat match not unlike the Worms series, for example. First, build a map by "painting" over the hex grid or select one of the predefined battlefields. You can change the desired biome, too. Also, if you decide to have a gaping hole instead of a lake in the middle of the map, you can delete hexes. Next, draft your Primal team. Select how many Primals you'd like from different tiers, then create your dream team... ...and that's it! All that remains is to place Primals on the map, and may the best player win! It's like chess, except with monsters (and therefore way cooler). Versus mode is a great way to test your skills and spend time with your friend. Plus, you…
- Primal Fray Devlog #05 – Top Tier Primals - 29 November 2024
Hello, Sky Adventurers! In today’s devlog, let’s talk about the most powerful Primals in the game: Tier III Primals. If you survive long enough during the Elemental Run, you’ll encounter some of the most useful (and dangerous) Primals in the game. Here are just a few of them: This fiery lord delivers MASSIVE ranged AoE damage. Just look at the GIF below, where it effortlessly disposes of three enemies! A devastating ability—though you might wonder, how will you survive if you face Stigor in battle...? This Primal is a master of ambush tactics, making it an excellent choice for paired attacks. It can teleport behind you and zap you with its deadly laser gaze. Facing Lumor alone is unwise—teams of two or three Primals stand a better chance. This flying, frog-like demon wields powerful arcane storms that can vaporize enemies in its range. Whether as an ally or an opponent, Magurana is a fo…
- Primal Fray Devlog #04 – Overcharge Mode - 5 November 2024
Hello, Sky Adventurers! In today's devlog, let's discuss Overcharge Mode – a challenging game mode that becomes available after you finish the Elemental run. Sooner or later, you'll reach the end of the Elemental Run. But even then, the game won't be over! Completing the run unlocks Overcharge Mode, a special mode where you can adjust the difficulty settings of various aspects of the run. You can adjust the following settings: Frenzied Enemies – enemies deal more damage Sturdy Enemies – enemies have more health Big and Healthy – bosses have more health General's Call – boss fights involve additional enemies Downgrade – some of your base upgrades are disabled ...and much more! Just to give you an example, I started a run with some of those settings: bosses with extra HP, enemies dealing more damage, and enemies spawning at a higher tier. The start was manageable, though the enhanced enem…
- Primal Fray Devlog #03 – Dancing with the Bosses - 14 October 2024
Hello, Sky Adventurers! In today's devlog, let's talk about the most powerful enemies you'll encounter in the Rift: the bosses! At the end of every biome (i.e., 3 times in a run) you'll face a mighty boss that you'll need to defeat in order to progress. The first one you'll face is the Mechataur, who awaits you at the end of the first run (Ironclad Training Facility). Although it's a 'tutorial' boss, don't underestimate its rocket attacks – they deal quite a bit of damage. Upon completing the Ironclad Training Facility, you'll gain access to the Elemental Run. This is where the fun (and true challenge) begins. There are five bosses ready to kick you right back where you came from. Maestitia This fearsome ice dragon fires a laser beam that damages everything in its path. Plus, she can turn the ground into ice and use it to unleash heavy attacks. To defeat her, you'll need to keep moving…
- Primal Fray Devlog #02 – Meet the Primals - 23 September 2024
Hello, Sky Adventurers! In today's devlog, let's discuss the titular heroes of the game: the Primals! Primals are the inhabitants of the Rift. Some will fight for you, while others will fight against you. Either way, you'll meet them in battle. You can find new Primals for your team on special 'Recruitment' islands during runs. You can also exchange money for them at Esurius the Talking Panda's shop. There are 3 Primal Tiers, which you can encounter (and befriend) in phase 1, 2 and 3 of a run, respectively. Tier I Primals let you create simple strategies, like the Fungler below, who enables you to spawn a bush behind enemy lines and use it to deal damage... ...or Rheno, who lets you push enemies off the map: Tier II Primals are twice as powerful as Tier I and can pose a real challenge. However, they also open up new attack possibilities. Cornus, below, uses a powerful AoE attack... Wher…
- Primal Fray Devlog #01 – The Secrets of the Rift - 3 September 2024
Hello, Sky Adventurers! First and foremost, welcome to the first Primal Fray Steam Devlog! Each devlog will cover various aspects of Primal Fray. Today's topic – the Rift! The Rift is the mysterious world of Primal Fray. Here, you will encounter enemies as well as earn gold (more on that later). Every run in Primal Fray is generated procedurally, so no two runs are the same. There are 8 island types in total, and you can choose their order before starting a run. Each island type contains different types of hostile Primals, allowing you to decide which type you’ll fight first. Not only that, but you can choose your next island to visit during runs. This way, you can plan your path ahead as you visit the islands on your faithful dragon named Carrot. Carrot will help you on your journey, although she won't take part in battles. The islands of the Rift hold many surprises, but not all of th…
