  • Gameplay
  • Balance
  • UI and audio
changedThe demo begins with EVERY spell, rune, and dice body unlocked for that character. The playtest also does not contain the tutorial. With both of these things in mind, it's highly advised that you play the demo first to get a grasp on the fundamentals, if you haven't already:
addedWhile I obviously can't make you play with analytics enabled, the purpose of the playtest is to gather data so it's extremely helpful for me as the dev to be able to see the specifics of the runs and to dive further into combat data. I do request that you enable analytics, at the very least for the duration of the playtest. Opting in to analytics for the playtest will not automatically opt you in to analytics for the full or demo versions.
addedThere is a button to send feedback on the main menu and on the pause menu, as well as a button on the pause menu to take you to our bug report submission form. While simply playing the game with analytics enabled is very helpful, I would also love to hear your thoughts!
