Today is finally the day when we can tell you about the new update we've been working on all this time.
Meet Update 0.3: The Hero!
In this new update you will be able to take direct control of the hero. You will be able to run, jump, dodge attacks and slash enemies with your sword, stab them with your spear or shoot them with your bow.
We understand that not all players will want to control this warrior by themselves, so you will be able to give him orders just like the other defenders of the village. The hero will defend himself against demons, but his efficiency will be much lower than with direct control.
To allow the demons to effectively resist such a fast and agile opponent, we increased their attack speed, but reduced their damage.
Your hero will receive experience for killing enemies, after which he will reach new levels and improve his characteristics. The hero has a total of five characteristics: Strength, Agility, Vitality, Endurance, and Wisdom. Each characteristic increases certain parameters of your hero, allowing him to fight and move more effectively.
You can also equip him with new armor or weapons, such as a bow, so he can shoot demons from afar.
Each armor has a number of slots for Gems - these stones enhance the character and their size affects the strength of enhancement. Smaller gems can be stacked together to make larger ones.
Your hero is no ordinary person, so he will be able to use special abilities, which will allow him to change the course of the battle, damage many opponents at once, or temporarily incapacitate them.
You may be wondering, how do you get all these new items? In this update we are introducing new Encounters - additional locations where your character will fulfill certain goals, defeat new enemies, and be rewarded with resources and items. These locations will contain brand new enemies, such as bandits, marauders, wild beasts and special demons. In addition, you will be able to find treasures and various quests in these areas.
We hope that you will enjoy this update. Navigating the village by yourself, dealing with demons or fighting back a mighty boss is an incredible and very enjoyable experience. We really wish you could try out this update as soon as possible.
