Vault of the Vanquished changes
v1.3 IS NOW OUT! ːluvː
This is by far the biggest updates Vault of The Vanquished has ever seen, and I can't wait to share everything in it! From enemy changes to the completely overhauled Main Menu being turned into a Hub! Lets get right into it!
The Hub! ⛺
This is one of my favorite features in the newest update! A place for you to talk to NPC's to upgrade your character, look through your collection, and start games!
The Nameless Blacksmith (The Upgrader) 🪙
This NPC is your vessel to upgrading your character! From upgrading coin damage to increasing your luck! (More upgrades will be added in future updates! ːsteamhappyː)
Snof (The Wiz) 📕
This NPC is gonna be your way to navigate to different levels and change your difficulty! For now just one level is playable, but there is gonna be more in the future! ːluvː
Combat Changes ⚔️
So this was by far the biggest change in the game... THE COMBAT! Enemies have change a lot, but I am gonna talk about that further down. YOU now no longer try to kill an enemy in 5 turns, you now have UNLIMITED! Only problem, you have health that no longer regenerates by itself! After taking damage from enemies you will have to heal yourself back up, even with limited moves!
Healing Items ❤️
Now with the new health system you are gonna need some ways to heal! That's why there are now potion abilities you start with to help get your character get back up in health!
Enemy Changes 🎮
Enemies have changed A LOT in this update! Like COMPLETELY DIFFERENT! From being able to deal actual damage to the player, to being able to heal! So let me tell you this jist on how they work now!
Enemy State 💀
Enemies have many states! You can see what there state is going to be by looking on the right side near the enemies head and you can see how powerful the state is going to be! From attacking, defending, healing, to completely destroying your coin slots!
Enemy Effect 🎒
Enemies can also have a few effects, that is seen on the left side of an enemy's head! From being a basic enemy to being a theif and stealing your money!
The Boss Bar 🔗
This is how you Spawn the FINAL BOSS of every level! Once it hits 100% a boss fight is forced onto you! Do you stand a chance to fight it?
FINAL BOSS! 😨
Every location now has a final boss to complete the stage! Currently there is just one boss for the castle level, but I plan on having 2 per Location! They deal massive damage, and are a true testament to your skill!
Enemy Tooltips 🪛
Don't want to remember EVERY TIME what an ability is? Well now highlighting over enemies lets you know exactly what an enemy plans on doing!
End Turn Button 🚫
A small feature I have been asked about, is the End Turn Button, allowing you to end your turn early if you'd like!
Menu Changes 📖
The escape menu has been fully changed in this update! Featuring a easier way to view your stats in game! But one part that took AWHILE...
Help Menu ⚠️
I spent a long time making a help menu in the game! From what keywords do on a card, to the basics in how to play the game!
Final Notes... ✏️
Thank you for waiting on this update! It has taken a lot longer than expected! But I plan on adding things like more items, locations, upgrades, ex. in future updates! But bringing them out at a more frequent state! So be ready to look for smaller updates in a heightened quantity!
ALSO! I will be having a video coming out here soon talking through all the things added in the newest update! Plus enjoy a discount for the Steam Summer Sale starting 6/25/26! ːluvː
