the ptr-1 steam branch has now been updated with new features and is ready for testing, before the version goes live as 1.1 update.

Endless Mode

The "endless" mode is here! What it means?

  • The survival world map now has 5 additional map points, 1 for each biome

  • Playing on survival has no WIN condition and no final demonic wave

  • You lose the game if you loose the keep

  • You will eventually fall, as each night, the difficulty and number of enemies increase.

  • Now its about: How far you can get?

New Difficulties

Explorer

The easiest difficulty bellow Easy. It is designed for players who want to explore the map and build without much challenge.

  • Less enemies during the nights

  • Enemies on map have lower levels

Chaosborn

The hardest difficulty, above hard.

  • All enemies have more health/damage than on hard

  • The enemy levels on the map scale higher. So you may fight 15 orc warlord in a camp instead of lvl 10 as you used to (10 and 15 is quite a huge difference)

  • Amount of enemies during night invasions is higher. Please do not expect 3x more enemies, as there are still performance limitations

Disclaimer: all values you see in game for difficulties and enemy waves are prone to change during testing based on feedback.

We will modify the balance based on feedback, so please expect balancing issues, as the PTR is for testing and balancing feedback.
