Main Menu

  • New and improved 2.5D main menu that showcases your party around the campfire, prepared and ready to go

  • Added the ability to show / hide Lobby IDs (Mainly for streamers who do not want their Lobby IDs out in the wild)

Barrier Pylon Map Objective

  • Starting From Act 2 there is the possibility of a Barrier Pylon spawning as a map objective.

  • Spawning enemies will gain half of their health as extra Barrier for each Barrier Pylon on the map.

  • Once a Barrier Pylon is destroyed all enemies that were granted a barrier by it will lose that barrier.

  • Barrier Pylons drop 40 gold when destroyed

Item Changes

  • The Hand Mirror item now grants +100% Quantity instead of +1 Quantity and damage reduction has been increased to 20% to compensate

  • The Reflect attribute has been replaced with Thorns; Thorns deals magic damage as a percentage of total defense instead of being a flat amount which allows it to scale better later on.

Other Changes

  • Added the ability to see Hero Health, Health Regen, and Defenses when holding the bound key (Tab by default)

  • Added Hero Health and Barrier values to the Health Bar

  • Random Map Objectives have had their markers and colors changed so they match the Map Progress bar

  • Updated Coin sprite

  • Updated Reroll sprite (Changed to dice rather than cards)

  • Improved the appearance of the status effect gained and lost messages

Fixes

  • Fixed a bug that could cause lobby invites to no longer work after clicking the Join lobby button

  • Fixed an invisible hole that players were able to fall into on Cavern map in Act 2

There are more fixes and improvements based on feedback currently being worked on that will be coming soon! A huge thanks to those of you who have reported issues in the Steam Discussions forum and the Discord, your feedback is super valuable!
