addedWhile Sun Down Survivors started as a game that was incredibly difficult, as time has gone on, players have improved dramatically -- even new players, who have gained EXP through playing other games across the genre.
addedSo while a lot of these balance changes are targeted towards making the game difficulty curve slightly smoother, they also just make game more difficult to accommodate all the extra level ups players have had across the genre. Survivors genre games are simply just more fun when the game challenges you to make tough decisions and try new different builds or characters.
addedAlong with this patch to rebalance the game, for next patch, we're also going to be adding in a final boss and add more depth to the game to make more deep builds. We can't wait to show you what we're working on!
