The Corrupted Transformation

The Mad King forces every traveler to make choices, from Corrupted Powers to specific Buffs and Debuffs. However, tapping into the King’s power always comes at a price.

  • The Corruption BarEvery time you use these dark powers, your corruption level increases, tracked by a new bar on the character UI.
  • The Overdose Phase: Once that bar is full, your hero undergoes a transformation, becoming extremely powerful with unique, time-limited abilities.

  • Hero Specifics: Depending on your character, the corrupted state might make you faster, stronger, or more resistant, with powers tied to your specific traits.

  • The Crash: Massacring hordes is a pleasure during the transformation, but once it wears off, your hero enters a state of pain and exhaustion.

  • Vulnerability: While the bar empties, you won't be able to move or attack properly, leaving you dangerously exposed to enemy strikes.

Cavalry: The Mounts

The dungeon is getting more crowded. You will now encounter various mounts during your runs that are essential for exploration and, more importantly, crushing your enemies.

  • Steal the Ride: Enemies can use these mounts too, making them a major threat. However, you can unseat an enemy and steal their mount for yourself.

  • Combat Durability: Mounts aren't invincible; after taking a certain number of hits, they will flee the battlefield.

Choose your path

It is up to you to figure out how to maximize the effectiveness of the transformation without falling victim to the exhaustion that follows. The crazy world of the Mad King is waiting.
