🐛 Known issues

Localization

  • A few words/sentences are not translated yet

Combat

  • If you kick an entity before its attack animation, you can push it very far (too far, honestly)

Difficulty

  • When creating a new game, difficulty can display the last chosen setting even though the game is actually set to Campaign difficulty

Save

  • Using “Load Last Checkpoint” during loading can cause save file issues

Cutscenes

  • The 2nd cutscene can be out of sync with the voice over (the audio is early. the visuals are… catching up).
