removedToday is a juicy patch for you all! We have been cooking away, drawing out the essence of the vessel! Literally! You are no longer a floating gun, but an enraged Soul! With HANDS!!! No arms though, too far out of budget. That’s right, you have a character you can actually see that represents your hunger for slimy souls. We have a bit more work to do for the Exterminator, but we are happy with the manifestation as it stands now. Look forward to seeing some of the more dynamic updates to the character.
removedAlongside the character, we went back to where it all started to rework the Forest map! No longer are you trapped in a square, or endlessly marching across the infinite wastes with a simple tree or lamp standing around. We have made the map more of a maze that you have to navigate. There are dead ends and alcoves that you could find yourself trapped within if you aren’t careful.
addedAlongside these changes comes an updated UI, reworked weapons passives, souls, and artifacts! These changes have been made to better balance the game and bring the experience together for you. In these updates comes a new Armor stat that decreases taken damage, a new Stat Boon you can choose to pad out your builds, and some new Bounce and Coil artifacts.
addedA slew of balance changes, Shrine updates, and more await you! Be sure to check out the full patch notes below for more info. We appreciate each and every one of you, and welcome your feedback on this new patch. Let us know if you have any suggestions, or find any pesky bugs.
