Rogue Spirit v0.99 Patch Notes – 7th February 2023

• Removed the possibility of breaking other active actions with a dash action. - Improved dash mechanic - making it easier to dash out from difficult situations. - Added a ‘perfect parry’ mechanic that can block charged attacks. - Now if a player is attempting to block a ‘charged’ attack (and is unable to ‘perfect’ parry), the player will receive 80% of damage, but will lose some stamina, and will get kicked away. - Improved AI behaviour - enemies will give players more space if they are not currently attacking - this should result in less pressure during group fights. - Improved and rebalanced demons. - Fixes for AI perception and player detection. - Elite enemies rebalancing. - Boss fights rebalanced and fixes. - Improved freeze-frame system during player's attacks - now player should feel attacks as more powerful and less glitchy. - Game rebalancing. - Lots of bug fixes. - Lots of optimizations. - Improved Photo Mode functions.
