Act 2 Release

I’m excited to finally be releasing Act 2. A giant batch of content and an important milestone for the development of Burning Branch. But what is Act 2?

Well the trip to the top of The Branch won’t be as easy the second time around, after reaching its base you’ll have to descend into the darkness beneath its roots. And see what lies beneath.

7 new bosses including the new Act 2 end boss Hyacinth, a vampiress in an estate deep underground with her own thoughts of what love looks like. A new shop system in between acts to help empower your runs. And a whole chunk of story.

Runs will be longer and more deadly, now with 2 major bosses to test your skills. With more time, and opportunities to develop your build. It also means that Burning Branch is more than halfway to a complete combat loop! Yay!

I hope you have fun with the new Act and look forward to another Act to come. As for what is directly next, I’ll be taking some time for a major rebalancing, with a specific focus in helping the game adapt better to its new length. And hopefully be in a good position for being expanded on in the future!
