What’s in the 1.0.0 launch build

The launch build includes final balance tuning, campaign and progression fixes, achievement fixes, Steam-side cleanup, and a full round of player-feedback-driven polish.

Final balance pass

  • Enemy pressure increased with higher Normal/Hard enemy HP and higher Normal enemy count

Campaign, progression, and rules clarity

  • Fixed campaign progression loading edge cases

  • Added prerequisite backfill logic so older saves recover progression correctly

  • Added locked-slot hover tooltips during Campaign tower placement

  • Added a Campaign rules popup before the first draft on Campaign maps

  • Improved locked-slot tooltip wording, including Skirmish clarification

  • Hidden the Ban button on wave 1 draft when fewer than 6 towers are unlocked

Cards, feedback, and description fixes

  • Feedback Loop milestone chips now include the tower name

  • Reaper Protocol card text now shows the correct dynamic max lives value

  • Slot Codex now shows max copies per run on upgrade cards
