MAJOR UPDATE

Today, our game has finally received a huge update that we were thoroughly preparing for a month and a half. Essentially, it's a full-fledged DLC that adds a new game mode and a new deck, combined with another community patch. After all, throughout this time, we have not only worked on new content but also carefully studied your feedback. We hope that these innovations will significantly enhance your gaming experience.

Additionally, we have a few important announcements.

First of all, with the update we have added collectible cards to the game, which means you can now obtain badges, emojis, and profile backgrounds for the game. Last week we published a detailed article where you can see all the available items that you can get.

Secondly, Ash of Gods: The Way now officially supports Steam Deck. We thoroughly tested the game on the console before its release, and it works perfectly in controller mode, despite the arguably small text size in some areas.

And finally, Ash of Gods: The Way is available again with a 15% discount in celebration of the update, so there's no need to worry if you missed out on purchasing the game during the Summer Sale. You can get it right now.

NEW GAME MODE

Some players have expressed their desire to continue playing after finishing the main story, and now they can do so in Free Game mode, which becomes available immediately after the credits.

For those who have already completed the game you simply need to load the latest save, skip the final dialogue, a cinematic and credits, and the new mode will be unlocked.

What does it look like?

In this mode, you will have access to all tournament battles, including the champions, and you can attempt to complete them with a deck of your choice. However, it's worth mentioning that the difficulty of the battles will be significantly increased to match the level of the final tournament.

This means that the opponents in the new mode not only receive stat boosts but also gain new abilities incorporated into their upgrade trees. For example, the Guardian gains Barrier and Regeneration, the Battle Sorcerer obtains Counterattack, and the Ranger deals additional damage to the enemy commander.

This approach is intended to significantly change the battle experience, as some old strategies may no longer work. It's also important to remember that not all battles in the game can be completed using the same deck, so don't forget to experiment and adapt to the circumstances.

In addition to that, in the new mode attempts are disabled, and all previous results are reset. If you missed any battles or forgot to claim rewards during the story campaign, you can still do so in Free Game mode.

The same applies to battle achievements, as long as you're not playing in Story Mode. Don’t forget that the difficulty level can always be adjusted directly in the game by accessing the Escape menu on the tournament screen.

However, the most significant addition to the Free Game mode is undoubtedly a new deck — the Enses deck.

ENSES DECK

You have already seen this deck in the last tournament of the story campaign, but it was not possible to play it, as many of you requested.

The thing is,
