addedAbout the patchNew Game+ New Game+ will let players who have beaten the game's True Ending restart the game! You transition into NG+ from inside the game world, specifically by talking to Aevum, a new NPC which will appear if you first travel to Evergrind City, and then back to the main character's room in Startington. In NG+, you'll keep your items, cards and levels, but replay through the game with several gameplay twists. Enemies will be shuffled around, you will have pins, many enemies will have their own pins, you can collect more than one card per enemy - and some other changes! There will also be the possibility of fighting a boss hitherto exclusive to Arcade Mode. Custom Game When unlocking NG+, you also unlock "Custom Game", which is similar to NG+ but instead of transcending with an existing character, you'll start a new one with custom settings! Here you can go really wild, limiting your max level, increasing enemy damage, make healing twice as strong (or to deal damage to you), and other useful, not-so-useful or plain weird settings!

About the patch

New Game+ New Game+ will let players who have beaten the game's True Ending restart the game! You transition into NG+ from inside the game world, specifically by talking to Aevum, a new NPC which will appear if you first travel to Evergrind City, and then back to the main character's room in Startington. In NG+, you'll keep your items, cards and levels, but replay through the game with several gameplay twists. Enemies will be shuffled around, you will have pins, many enemies will have their own pins, you can collect more than one card per enemy - and some other changes! There will also be the possibility of fighting a boss hitherto exclusive to Arcade Mode. Custom Game When unlocking NG+, you also unlock "Custom Game", which is similar to NG+ but instead of transcending with an existing character, you'll start a new one with custom settings! Here you can go really wild, limiting your max level, increasing enemy damage, make healing twice as strong (or to deal damage to you), and other useful, not-so-useful or plain weird settings!

An especially notable setting in Custom Game is Permadeath, which as the name implies will wipe your save file if you die!
