What changed

3 fixes5 additions1 change1 removal
  • UI and audio
  • Gameplay
  • Balance
addedNew content:Two new languages! You can now play the game in French and Spanish (the latter in both a South American and a European variant).
changedNew content:Brannalbin himself has intervened and deemed magic in general too weak. As a result, all spells are now much more powerful.
addedNew content:A major new game mechanic: Possession. Become a frog, a dragon, a worm, a rat, an ogre, a hill giant or anything else that crawls, sneaks, runs or slithers through the Caverns of Chaos. If you find the magical means to do so.
removedNew content:Possibly related to the previous point, the enigmatic Temple Of The Frog is no longer empty.
addedNew content:Originally the class was meant to be introduced much later, but as Dark Elves share a natural affinity for such things, you can now play as an Assassin and skulk in the darkness, expertly wielding poisons and the very shadows themselves as weapons.
addedNew content:Several new skill trees make their appearance, including the first “secret” skill - skills that will only unlock when you meet a certain prerequisite of other skills. Because this is the first of them and not terribly secret yet, you will unlock Assassination only after spending points in the Stealth skill. Arachnomancy (15 skills and 10 spells) will allow the summoning of spiders and is only available to Dark Elves for now. Assassination (14 skills) will greatly increase the damage dealt while sneaking, among other things. Poisoning (11 skills) is the first foray into alchemy, creating poisonous concoctions and improving their efficency. Finally, you can now become a deadly warrior wielding whips (with 23 skills), if that is your thing. We are not judging.

  • Giant spiders now actually work.

  • A ton of minor bug fixes.
