changedThe first public demo back in late 2019 was a rudimentary top-down shooter running in a web browser, with most of its design ideas borrowed from DOOM. No inventory, limited ammo pickups with no reloading, no powder or spells or stamina, and a basic perk system. It was an entirely different genre, leading to a bit of an identity crisis for the game. Let's call it 'growing pains'. But thanks to your feedback it has matured (or rather mutated) into a full ARPG-shooter hybrid, with a 12 hour campaign and a real endgame. For that I am truly grateful.
addedBut the story doesn't end here. The game will keep getting updates over the coming months, and I'll be needing your feedback now just as much, if not more so . For that the best place is our Discord server , or the Steam forums. The new patch is still fresh, so if you detect any issues, let me know ASAP.
