addedWe also added Auto Attack options, including Auto Switch, Melee Only, and Ranged Only, along with many other improvements.
addedFor first time players, we understand some players may struggle with the new mechanics in DLS. It is very different from a standard Vampire Survivors style game, so we added a Tutorial Mode to help players get the basic idea of how to play the game.
changedThis is still in the testing stage, but if you set the graphics to Low and set grass to 50 or 0, you should be able to run the game around 30 to 40 FPS depending on the scene. Setting grass to 0 will give better FPS, but there will be no grass.

This patch includes more third person camera distance options. All of these come with settings, so you can adjust the camera to your own feel.

We also added Auto Attack options, including Auto Switch, Melee Only, and Ranged Only, along with many other improvements.

We know a lot of players are on Steam Deck only and want to play DLS, so we did some overtime this week to make the first step for Deck support.

This is still in the testing stage, but if you set the graphics to Low and set grass to 50 or 0, you should be able to run the game around 30 to 40 FPS depending on the scene. Setting grass to 0 will give better FPS, but there will be no grass.

We will continue to improve Steam Deck support and send the game to Steam for Deck review when it is ready.
