Patch v1.04 and 40% off in Steam Summer Sale

Wildfire's fourth major update, Patch v1.04, is now live on Steam! Some small but significant gameplay rebalancing, along with fixing minor issues lingering from the last patch, are the stars of this update. Many of these changes were made after taking player feedback into account. We have also added Steam Cloud support for Wildfire's save files, so you can now have your game progress follow you between PCs.

We're also thrilled to offer a 40% discount on the game throughout the Steam Summer Sale! If the game has been sitting on your wishlist, now is the time to dip in to the stealthy elemental mischief contained within.

The patch notes for v1.04 are below, and you can also read them combined with previous updates here:
