Second Update

Today a new update for Hero's Story was released. It fixed the shortcomings of the previous version, added new artifact mechanics and a new location, and updated the game bosses. In this update I tried to listen to the opinions of the players, so the rewards for defeating monsters were increased and the cooldown of the hero's abilities was reduced. I also fixed the annoying hint for players that character can open the door. I hope you will like this update!

ARTIFACTS

Artifacts are the ultimate goal of wanderers' searches. These are powerful items that temporarily grant a certain power - for example, the ability to not spend an arrow when shooting, get additional glory points or reduce the cooldown of abilities. Artifacts can only be found in closed iron chests!

BOSSES UPDATE

Boss battles in the new version will become more interesting and difficult! Each boss will have a new type of attack - for example, Spider Queen will learn to attack from a distance, High Necromancer will be protected by a dark shield and the Fallen Knight will be able to carry out a deadly ultimate attack. Good luck in battle!

SMUGGLER'S PATH

Somewhere in the mountains in the north there is an abandoned passage, which, according to rumors, can be opened with a special seal. They say that this passage has long been used by smugglers and slave traders, and that this path leads to the Trade Coast. Who knows - perhaps you will yet have to go to unknown lands in search of new adventures...

As always, you can leave your impressions of the update in the comments or discussions.

Enjoy the game! Your Silent.
