addedHeroes and enemy NPCs can achieve critical hits if their strength roll result is 50 or more above their opponent’s. Critical hits add 5 to damage. We spent some time looking for ways to make combat faster, more interesting, and less tedious later in the game. Critical hits reward you for building up your strength, and remove many repeat combat sequences later in the game when you have grown beyond most enemies in your world area.
addedSai, a new weapon that has a 25% chance of adding a +5 lifespan damage critical hit in combat.
addedRaider, a new trait that enables hero to steal items from the enemy in combat.
addedAdded two special graphics modes (PC/Mac/Linux only due to performance impact on mobile): Black & White and Vintage. Modes can be toggled in settings and are unlocked by finishing (dying) games.
changedImproved clarity of deliver letter quest by highlighting the drop off destination with a cut scene.
