Runeveil 0.5.2 Patch Notes

Before we jump into the notes, we want to thank everyone who helped us reach 95%+ Positive Reviews! Seeing your incredible runs, reading your feedback, and watching this community grow means a lot.

Aaand of course, we cooked quite a bit of patch for today, including a new mechanic, balancing, QoL and tons of bug fixes.

✨ Highlights

• AddedGame Over Screen OverhaulWe redesigned it quite a bit and added some new interesting statistics! It now displays detailed run statistics (Highest Damage Dealt, Run Duration, etc.) and allows you to hover over unlocked items to view their tooltips.

• New Mechanic: Overtime Damage: The Sin Kings now grow impatient. Starting from Turn 5, combatants will take Overtime damage (starts at 50 damage, increasing by +50% each subsequent turn).

• AddedNature Wizard Unlock ConditionWhen transitioning from demo to Early Access, Nature Wizard's unlock condition disappeared for unknown reasons, and we added it back. It now has a "Complete 1 game with the Fire Wizard" condition, so that the players already played it may have to play it again. Sorry for that.

⚖️ Gameplay & Balance Changes

• AdjustedPure (Status Rework)Functionality updated to: "Negates the next debuff, loses 1 stack per negation."

• "Draw" Effects: Hard-capped to trigger a maximum of 1 time per turn (resets each turn, not per combat). No more infinite rerolls loops, sorry!
