changedProgression System OverhaulGame progression has been changed to a linear rogue-lite style system. I would even call it rogue-super lite. The goal is to advance to the final level and defeat the prismatic dragon. Upon death, you lose gold, relics, experience obtained on that particular quest but keep all previously obtained gold, experience, and relics. Non-relic items are never lost upon party wipe. As like before, levels are procedurally generated and every run through will always be different and increase in difficulty on any level that you previously passed. Hardcore mode has been removed from the game.
addedAchievementsOver 70 achievements have been added to the game with more to come. Each achievement comes with a reward which is gold, experience, or items. Achievements in the demo will not unlock on steam, only in game. Any achievements obtained during the demo will automatically unlock on steam for the full game as long as you haven't reset the demo. All achievements can be viewed in the graveyard.
changedSmall Updates and EnhancementsRituals are more difficult now but their reward is greater. Bonuses obtained from rituals now last for the entire current run(until the party dies). The curse remains the same, lasts until the end of the current quest.
addedSmall Updates and EnhancementsItem transfer between characters during quests added. Characters can now drag items from their quick slots onto adjacent characters to give them items.
addedSmall Updates and EnhancementsAttack range highlighting overhauled: A new outline visual effect replaces the old tile highlighting. Attack range is shown upon movement now to help determine better positioning for combat. An option has been added to always display attack range highlighting.
changedSmall Updates and EnhancementsMovement interaction automation: An open hand icon will now appear over interactable objects such as doors, treasure, and throwables. Click on them will automatically move your character to the object and attempt to interact with the object automatically.
