changedPeer into the DarknessThis Alpha version of the game aims to address one of your biggest concerns from our previous playtests: thematic immersion. A lot of you loved our game, but didn't quite get what your role is in our world or what the Mythic Protocol is. This time around, we've reworked our tutorial system to throw players into the deep dark underbelly of the secretive organization.
changedNew environments, new weapons, new systemsWe've also implemented our overhauled Dungeon System 2.0, that allows for greater map design flexibility and more interactive actions in our maps, alongside our updated Loot and Crafting systems in the game. Based on your feedback, we've expanded the armory inventory and provided universal access to it across all characters. We hope that these changes help to improve the loot grind and allow you to refine your builds with your idea weapons for each character.
