Thank you everyone who participated in playtests, played the demo or reported bugs and provided feedback, it helped shape this release a lot.

Especially during Early Access, your feedback and reviews will be the deciding factor of the game's future!

What to expect in the Early Access version

Game modes and Player Ranking

Steam post image

Based on player feedback I wanted to introduce more aspects of tanking into the game, these are now invoked by the different modes the game has to offer.

Each mode has a ranking criteria which awards medals based on performance: Gold medal rewards x3 EXP, silver X2 exp and bronze X1.

Dungeon Crawl Mode

You will rank based on how fast you complete the dungeon. Dungeons are meant to test your ability to plan routes, manage your cooldowns and strategize your run for best time possible.

Wave Defense Mode

You will rank based on how much damage your companion takes. Wave defense is meant to test your ability to act under pressure with growing threats, carefully plan your positioning, and make split-second combat decisions..

Boss Rush Mode

You will start at level 10 and be ranked based on how fast you defeat the boss. Boss Rush is meant to test your spatial awareness, keeping track of boss abilities and your companion at all times.

The City Hub

The city is the hub where you upgrade, unlock new stuff and maybe chill to cool music.

Explore different talent builds, companions, equipment, upgrades and craft your ultimate tanking build.

Your feedback and reviews will determine the game's future

While I have a roadmap of where I want to take the game, I want to prioritize player requested features, bug fixing, polish and overall better game experience in the upcoming future.

Post reviews, discussions, join the Discord and help shape the game's future!

Thank you!
