addedHello everyone!We are very happy to present to you patch 1.3. Thanks to your feedback, we understood some players wanted a tower defense with more freedom, and that is less punishing. Thus, we wanted to meet that need by creating the Prince mode! Available in the three difficulty settings, this new mode allows a more relaxed experience, closer to the traditionnal tower defense spirit. With that said, if you appreciate the “puzzle” and “die and retry” philosophy of the original game, rest assured: you can keep playing the classic mode.
addedNew Prince Mode!Play like a prince in the difficulty setting of your choice! 👑 Royal support: +50% more starting coins. 👑 Royal bank: +10% more interest at the end of each wave. 👑 Royal archers: +1 damage per archer, and they pick a new target with each shot.
addedNew board "Final Cloud"!New achievement: Octogolem
addedUnlock tips!Tips are now available to see in game in the settings. Do not hesitate to check them out.
addedUI changes:New pictogram on totems for classic nightmare victory. Fix - Nightmare mode color change.
addedMore:Board 7 - Modifications to Adventurer and Veteran difficulties. Bonus 1 - Lighting change. Victory screen slightly modified. Pause screen slightly modified. Fix - Turkish 100% translated (some texts were missing). Fix - Behavior of exclamation marks highlighting new features. Fix - Info zone initialization at map launch. Fix - Gamepad button sprites on SteamDeck.
