We fixed some things and we’re not stopping!

It’s only been three weeks since Loot River was released. It was a rocky start for sure!

Thankfully the community has been phenomenal. You rock. You helped us figure out and fix a bunch of issues we sadly missed (sorry about that!). Really, a big thank you to everyone who reached out. The outpouring of support has been wonderful.

Our reviews are also looking more positive! After the last few patches, we’re seeing way more favorable reviews. If you like Loot River and haven't left a review yet, leaving one would be massively supportive for us.

Over 90% of reviews we got after our last patch were positive reviews :) We can’t express how grateful we are to all of you who already left a positive review or joined our Discord to talk to us. Your expressions of support are the single most important thing keeping us motivated through this stressful and not so fun time.

So far we have released 10 patches over the last 3 weeks. These have included around 70 changes addressing many issues in many parts of the game that you had issues with. Some highlights include:

• Plenty of improvements for controls and general movement. Navigating around is now quicker and more fluid.

• Both parrying and dashing got lots of love to make them way more fun to use.

• Many changes to the difficulty and balancing to make combat fairer and more rewarding.

• Combat is now generally faster and more satisfying.

• Improved loot variety and better pacing of “good” loot, work here is far from over.

• You don’t lose all of your gains when you die, some knowledge is now kept.

• You can now also invest knowledge over multiple runs - no need to save up to get that big unlock in one go.

• Various crash fixes, bug fixes and stability improvements - see full changelog below.

And we’re not stopping. We’re committed to improving Loot River. As well as further refining combat, we’re exploring new charms, new weapons, new enemies and new arenas. Plus some chunkier, cooler updates for later.

These bigger updates might take a while longer, we’re a tiny team and still working hard on squashing bugs and balancing.

Rest assured though that we’re excited and keen to make Loot River as good as it can be.

Finally, thanks once again for all your feedback, reviews, support and help. We genuinely couldn’t do this without you. Say hi on our Discord anytime, you are more than welcome.

Thanks,

Miro & Loot River crew
