Important features
-
The levels organization has been vastly changed: Ancient Sewers cannot be reached anymore from the Promenade, while Ossuary leads to... well. Let's call these, "new places". A few other changes happened to the loot balance pretty much everywhere.
-
Explore a whole new area located right after the Ossuary... Hope you don't fear darkness.
-
2 new enemy types! We can't spoil you too much about them, but we really look forward to them killing you.
-
New gameplay mechanic: the Darkness. Stay for too long into it and you're dead.
-
New weapons, including Hayabusa boots, or High velocity crossbow!
-
All shops now contain 5 items instead of 4.
-
Added option to deactivate Steam Cloud, including an optional transfer of files between local only and Steam cloud.
-
If a Workshop mod is available for your language, it is now automatically installed.
-
The Hayabusa boots now have a proper description. Its damage received some love ;)
Update 2.1
-
The placement of lights in the Sepulchre is now much more balanced.
Update 2.1
-
We know you LOVE the shocker enemy from the Ossuary, so we doubled their frequency. Oh. Wait. No, we actually divided their frequency by 2. And we made sure their positionning was much more balanced.
Update 2.1
-
Installed workshop mods are now automatically update
Update 2.1
-
The Ossuary tier has been slightly reduced (less HP on mobs, less damage). IMPORTANT NOTICE: the Ossuary connection with Prison Cells is temporary ; we plan to add a new level between these two. Please keep in mind that it's an Early Access, and everything is subject to change on any later update, based on your feedbacks. Don't panic, this is a normal process, everything will be fine :)
Update 2.2
-
Added a new Active skill in the Sepulchre that will give extra choices to manage the darkness gameplay.
Update 2.2
-
We removed the Shield breach mechanic completely. If your Strength was too low, your shield could be "breached" by high level enemies. This is no longer the case, allowing new combinations like using a shield efficiently with a Skill based build. This is meant to be tested and balanced with a future shield update.
Update 2.2
-
Added a (very experimental) link between Promenade and First Sewers. It requires both Vine & Rub-Rub keys and allows for a 3rd alternative path to explore the Ossuary & Sepulchre. Your comments are welcome here.
Update 2.2
-
Fixed a major bug that removed most Scrolls from the Sepulchre. You should now find much more level-ups in this sector, as normally expected.
Update 2.3
-
The "Super deal" mechanic of shops has been changed (you know, when you see an item in a shop with a large green banner behind it). A super deal is now an item that has a guaranteed tier+1 affix on it, which STACKS with all its regular other affixes. A tier+1 affix is one that augments Health, Weapon or Skill.
Update 2.3
-
Balanced the frequency of Tier+1 scrolls in all shops (they should drop more frequently in levels like before, but still have a decent chance to appear in shops)
Update 2.8
Balancing
-
The Quickbow now only requires 2 arrows to grant criticals instead of 3
-
The amount of cells you can drop have been balanced everywhere. Gold drops also have been adjusted.
-
The shovel attacks much more quickly.
-
Shocker mob from Ossuary can be frozen
-
The broadsword can now hit enemies behind you
-
The Frantic Sword has been totally rebalanced. Regarding damage, it now stands right between light weapons and heavy ones.
-
The Spiteful Sword has been redone: it still deals critical blows after getting hit by an enemy, but it's now faster and the third strike has been replaced a kick that stuns the enemy. Which is much more fun.
-
The Sadist sword is now a dagger: it deals a critical blow if the victim is either bleeding, poisoned or burning.
-
The long bow (sniper) is now faster.
-
We nerfed the free forcefield duration you get when you have a shield equiped. We plan another update (but later) on shields gameplay, so this nerf is more like a "hotfix".
-
The Tonic now heals twice more and grants a global shield when used.
-
Reduce Shield of the Behemoth when is changing phase
-
Your "personal light" in the Sepulchre level now lasts 12s instead of only 10s.
