fixedBalance ChangesWe had noticed that players weren't making it very far on their first play through, or contrastingly, they were wiping the entire game with a simple build. We shadow-pushed a hotfix to the forest enemies earlier this week. In this update we go further to address both of these issues.

addedEnemy AI and ChangesWe have changed the enemy AI from choosing random abilities from a list to being given a set of abilities they do on rotation. This change gives us greater control over each encounter and therefore results in a more tailored and fun experience. The Forest encounters have been completely reworked , with some enemies getting an entirely new move set. The only encounters that have gone largely unchanged in the forest are the fairies and the fancy goblin. We've also added new art for the intention icons that appear above enemies heads. This rollout isn't entirely complete with this update but will be fully implemented by next Friday.
