Soulsworn changes
One of the most requested features for the longest time has been updating and adding the in-game story events. With the latest update, I'm adding 2 new events:
A Rebel's Sacrifice
This is the first time you're able to heal, but at a terrible cost: you must leave one of your Souls behind.
The Red Rose Vanguard
Beatrice is a brave knight that charges into battle the moment she's summoned. She can join the rebellion, as long as you're willing to help her find Dante.
She also has an exclusive fusion with Dante -- check it out on your next run!
Quality of Life updates
This update also introduces a new "Check field" mode that can be entered at any moment during your or your opponent's turn. When in that mode, you can check the field freely, as well as any cards in your hand or in limbo. No more wondering what that trap card did!
New help guides
I've heard some feedback that the game is confusing, so I added optional in-game guides. I really, really don't want to add any more mandatory tutorials, so I'm hoping this helps players who aren't very familiar with Yu-Gi-Oh mechanics. Please let me know if there's any extra info missing from these guides!
A thank you note
I'm wishing a sincere thank you to Daiya Beatus, who played the game on stream last week! In case you missed it, here's the VOD.
