The Candleholder (Demo 2 Release)

Description



DEMO 2 IS OUT!!!

The Candleholder is an overhaul mod designed to provide a completely new experience by changing almost everything in the game - the combat, biomes, area layouts, enemies, plot, classes, and more. Primarily centered around players who have already beaten the vanilla game, it is a harder, more methodical experience.

The combat of the game now centers around the Candle. The Candle must be passed around mid-combat, and enables characters to have access to a number of new moves, including buffs that the class might need to function. Incentivizing strategy and planning, it makes for a methodical playstyle. Passing the Candle throughout your team allows you to create combos to crush even the fiercest foes!


  • It is recommended NOT to use any other modded classes besides Candleholder's for an enjoyable and balanced experience. The combat system and all of its classes are balanced significantly differently, and classes that aren't made for the Candle system can easily trivialize the game.

  • Certain areas receive layout changes that make platforming significantly more difficult. If you have trouble with platforming or dislike its inclusion, there are Assist NPCs that provide temporary mounts to make things much easier.

  • This demo version contains new content up to the end of the Ancient Reservoir (and roughly Level 40 in progression), content after that point is unfinished and unaccessible without usage of mounts.

Even Content up to Ancient Reservoir/Lv 40 it still can take you at least 15-30 hours to complete it which is impressive can't imagine the scope of length would it be up to the final zone.

Mod is on hiatus for a while as we work on original projects. Sorry about that, might use the mod page in the future again.

Awesome mod that anyone who likes modded Crystal Project should play.

The mod appears to have been temporarily blacklisted from showing up in Search and any other part of the workshop after the recent update, due to some nonsense with the Steam Subscriber Agreement (it wants us to agree to it a *second* time, for some reason). Depending on how long this lasts we might have to re-upload the mod, but hopefully this resolves itself fairly soon and before the release of Demo 2.

Oops! The description was broken for a bit! Fixed it now though.

Eyy! I'm glad you enjoy it Enoen!

In my head this mod is canonically the original's sequel in my mind that everyone should play after completing the base game or even earlier for a completely different experience.
Everything was carefully thought out against and in favor of the player's experience to make every encounter, moment and fight memorable. Everything fits together and makes sense from how the classes play to what the enemies of each area are building you up to at it's end for a climatic fight. The candle mechanic is by far one of the most well balanced out and fun touches to enhance the combat as well as making every class feel double layered so everyone's magic is different and not always relating to their base class making it unique.

There's been a TON of changes and bug fixes to the mod! I suggest to everyone who already subscribed to update!
