v1.5.0.2 - The Tower UpdateFeb 25, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsHi everyone! We've gotten a ton of great feedback on The Tower update, so we wanted to put out a small update adding new content and fixing a few bugs. For patch notes for the original 1.5.0 update, see here. UPDATES The Tower now goes up to a maximum of 100 floors. Added 9 new enemies to the top floors. New item - Infernal Blade. Hero only. +4 attack. New item - Infernal Bow. Archer only. +3 attack. Follow up: Deal 1 damage to the lowest health enemy. New item - Infernal Shield. Fighter only. +10 health. Battle start: Gain +2 Armor. New item - Infernal Wand. Mage only. +5 attack. -2 health. Dev note: A lot of players requested that the Tower have more floors, so we've increased the limit to 100, and added a new set of powerful enemies. We've also added new "infernal" weapons. While extremely expensive (30+ gold) these items raise the power cap for your party, letting you take on extremely challenging fights. BUG FIXES Fixed: Noble Plate on your hero now gives gold when "dying" from Death's Invitation Fixed: The score increase from Death's Gift now applies even if the character is dead. Fixed: Addressed an issue with New Game+ and beyond not unlocking in some scenarios. Fixed: RNG generation for The Tower is now working correctly (and not repeating rooms and items). Fixed: Misc localization tweaks. As always, thanks for playing!v1.5.0 - The Tower UpdateFeb 18, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsThe Tower Update is here! This update is our largest yet, bringing an entirely new game mode, a new Manacast ability, overleveling, new localization, and more! THE TOWER The Tower is a brand-new game mode. Ascend a nearly endless tower, fighting a wide variety of new bosses and enemies. 40+ new enemies and bosses. More variety in each run with procedurally generated battles. Unlock new floors by completing a run. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38306384/a1aedfc214cd2bc431b08700c9c9b80be8318efe.png Dev note: I've had a ton of fun making this mode. I wanted to add a mode with more of an "arcade feel", where you can test the limits of what's possible - both for your party and the enemy. The Tower adds a lot more variety in the enemies that you'll encounter, and the rooms that you'll find. But be warned - the top floors are exceptionally difficult! MANACAST This update adds a brand-new keyword: Manacast. Characters with this keyword can trigger an ability a limited number of times during a battle. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38306384/1809accbf7853b3a3c4aec480c46695b53c573f2.png The following characters have been updated to use Manacast: Taz'Gyn, of the Old Moon. Manacast 2: Summon an enemy Lesser Void Wisp. Inexhaustible. Cleric of the Dark. When this character kills an enemy gain Shield. Manacast 1: Gain Shield. Druid. Manacast 1: Summon a Dove / Raven / Wolf twice. Elemancer. When an allied elemental is summoned gain +1 Attack. Manacast 1 / 2: Summon a Lightning Wisp. Flame Adept. Also damages enemies in the same column. Manacast 1 / 2 / 3: Attack. Steel Summoner. Manacast 1: Summon a Lesser / Normal / Greater Metal Wisp. Venin Witch. Deals double damage to Poisoned characters. Manacast 1 / 2: Summon a Poisonous Slime. Xerxis. Poisonous. Manacast 1 / 2: Summon a Poison Scale. Dev note: Manacast was added to help mitigate some of the frustration with summon builds, giving you more control over when summons appear. However, Manacast also opens up additional interesting character designs! Overleveling Characters can now level up endlessly! At level 4 and above, they'll gain a specific bonus - either increasing their health, damage, mana, or the strength of their ability. You can see "overlevel bonuses" in the Book of Champions. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38306384/1e6e707b86bd863ba15a1889ddb96de9e53560bf.png BALANCE UPDATES This update brings a significant balance overhaul - buffing a number of characters and artifacts.

Now has the ability "Whenever an ally is summoned, give them Shield." Previously was "Death: Give all allies Shield" (at L3).

The updated design gives more options to summon-based builds. Night Marksman. Can now be found at L1. Enchanter. Now has the ability "Round End: Give all allied Mages +1 Power" at L1.

Cyril's bear form (Cyril, Groundshaker) also has this ability. In addition, Cyril, Groundshaker now had 20 HP (up from 15). The Devourer now has 20 HP (up from 16). Edric, Fencing Master is now multiclass (was previously a fighter). Ixotle, Hatchling Ward now fills the board with Hatchlings at the start of the battle and on death (previously the ability only triggered on death). Taur, the Exiled now gains 3 health whenever he kills an enemy, in addition to receiving +1 Attack for each allied Lizardfolk. QUALITY OF LIFE IMPROVEMENTS You can now see what Andromalius will transform an item into, if you've previously transformed that item. Some artifacts can no longer be found in The Underneath and The Abyss. Specifically the Merchant's Secret, Counterfeit Coins, Jack's Fiddle, and the Royal Insignia. While these artifacts can be powerful, they're underwhelming if you find them later in the run. BUG FIXES All Slimes are now correctly categorized as elementals, including the Poison Slimes produced by the Devourer. Fixed several menu-related audio bugs. The first battle now correctly displays the 4-gold reward. A tooltip now displays for Multiclass characters. Do you have thoughts for what you'd like to see in-game? Let us know on our forums!

ILLIFAR {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38306384/3d4f6ea1d35dbb98f77d77f0444f262f5a387418.png Illifar joins Abaddon as a new final boss. At the start of each run, you'll be able to see which old god lurks below. ANDROMALIUS AND BATHIN With Illifar, comes two new types of rooms. Andromalius and the Void. Each time you meet Andromalius, she'll transform one piece of equipment. Each piece of equipment transforms into a specific item. For example, Andromalius will always transform the Holy Scepter into the Potion Belt. Andromalius can even create some unique items... Bathin's Bargain. Bathin offers a selection of optional bargains. Each bargain grants you gold; however, the bargain will raise the difficulty of the next battle. NEW CHARACTERS This update introduces three new characters: the Javelineer, the Channeler, and the Royal Guard. Each character begins unlocked and can be found at L1, L2, and L3. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38306384/6f367af2f6d944fe7386bc9810144e30b4df7816.png The Javelineer is a welcome addition to any armor build, providing high damage and flexibility. The Channeler offers doom builds a way to consistently trigger their effects. The Royal Guard offers healing-focused parties a powerful tank, who can power up your hero.

While weaker than other heroes, Xandos begins with the fabled Dawn Crown. This artifact increases your party limit by 1.

The Tinkerer requires a large amount of planning to make sure that bombs don't explode in your face! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38306384/f168164c18b4137624eb18e2b67ba2dd42c5d75f.png The Elemancer is a powerful mage.

Just make sure to swap them out before Abaddon! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38306384/9b7beed352077c74acdcea79c893f10e10906fb3.png Similar to the Tanner, the Smuggler gives Lizardfolk builds a powerful economy play. CHARACTER STATS We've added Character stats! The Book of Champions now tracks a variety of stats for each Character, accessible by hovering over the magnifying glass. Additionally, any Characters that defeat Abaddon are given a special medal in The Book of Champions. NEW ITEMS In 1.0.6 we're introducing items that are restricted to specific Character types.

You can now change your difficulty ...v1.0.5 Patch NotesDec 19, 2020 - Community Announcementsv1.0.5 is here! This update brings two big new changes: The Daily Challenge and The Book of Champions. THE DAILY CHALLENGE The Daily Challenge is a brand-new game mode. Each Daily Challenge adds a twist to your adventure: dive into the dungeon with a special scenario and a unique curse. The Daily Challenge refreshes each day at 4:00am UTC. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38306384/43bc418b269d014e635595e1667e31771290d064.png THE BOOK OF CHAMPIONS Curious what characters lurk in the depths? The Book of Champions shows all the characters that can be found at Campfires in-game! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38306384/d10eefe78f462ad1d5051389869d72e892d48e00.png NEW CHARACTERS With this update, we've added two powerful Poison-based units. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38306384/83a9422142fccbbbad8e8b8dd872a16b5cedd91e.png Venomancer. Venomancer is a powerful poison-based character, capable of keeping multiple enemies under control. The Devourer. The Devourer has the highest health of any character so-far. While this elemental cube doesn't have its own attack, it can summon Poisonous Slimes to attack for it. ABADDON UPDATES We've made significant changes to Abaddon in this update: Greed. Abaddon's Greed form (summoning four golden spheres) will no longer occur on New Game-. Pride. Abaddon's Pride form (setting the highest health enemy to 1) will no longer occur on New Game- or New Game. Unlocking higher difficulties requires that you now defeat Abaddon. Developer Note: our original intention was that most runs would be defeated by Abaddon and that the success of a run would be measured by how long you survived. However, our view on this has been evolving - thanks in large part to the wonderful feedback we've received. For this reason, we've made Abaddon easier on New Game- and New Game. OTHER CHANGES You can now cycle through a unit's inventory by right-clicking multiple times. Veninic Simulae and Clypaen Simulae no longer target random enemies. You can now disable unit animation (or bouncing) in settings. Venina's Hex (poison artifact) will now only target enemy heroes if no other target is available. ...and many smaller changes! BUG FIXES When you pick up an item, only characters who can equip it are highlighted in green. If you have a Multiclass unit, you now encounter items from all classes in stores. Multiclass units can now be targeted by buffs that target specific classes. Thanks for playing!v1.0.4 Patch NotesNov 24, 2020 - Community Announcementsv1.0.4 is here! In this update we wanted to focus on balance issues, addressing some of the toughest enemies and the most underused allies. (We even made Abaddon a little easier*.) LIZARDFOLK UPDATE The biggest update is our change to Lizardfolk characters. The original "death & sacrifice" focused Lizardfolk felt underwhelming and overlapped too much with summon compositions. So we've redesigned Lizardfolk, giving them their very own "Lizardfolk" type and a unique "Scheme" keyword. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38306384/d7ab09c44feb049e1a153f2bd8ac773bbbcc3420.png Scheme keyword. "Scheme" triggers whenever the character does not attack. PRALIATOR (New). The Lizardfolk have a brand-new unit with the ability to steam-roll weaker enemies. HYPOGEAN (Updated). The Hypogean was reworked to provide the Lizardfolk build a powerful tank. AMGUAN (Updated). The Amguan now offers powerful buffs to Lizardfolk. Note: Taur, the Exiled has also been updated to work with Lizardfolk. NEW ENEMIES Three new slime-based encounters have been added to The Upper Dungeon! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38306384/4de836694791c213dc74f31a0df4bedf92e59050.png NEW LOOT Mystery Potions. The Witch can now sell a Mystery Potion that transforms into a random item when purchased. Potion of Greater Versatility. Mages who use a Potion of Greater Versatility can use equipment from any class. Cursed Amulet. The Cursed Amulet grants +2 Attack but deals the wearer 1 damage after attacking. Counterfeit Coins. Counterfeit Coins are a new artifact that reduces the cost of buying characters by 2 gold. UNIT UPDATES The Hunter has been redesigned, now dealing 1 damage to the lowest health enemy after attacking. Developer note: While the Hunter was a powerful unit in certain circumstances, they weren't seeing much play. In testing, we found this change makes them a more natural fit for builds that need a little crowd control, as well as "Doom"-focused builds. Level 1 Rangers will no longer be found in The Upper Dungeon (though Level 2 and 3 Rangers can still be found later on). Developer note: There were too many summon-synergizing characters in The Upper Dungeon, making summon builds a natural choice for most runs. In this update (and future updates) we aim to better balance the number of units per composition in each area. OTHER CHANGES You can now sell items in treasure chest rooms. Units "bounce" a little slower on higher fastforward settings. ENEMY BALANCE CHANGES Abaddon is now easier on New Game-. Developer note: Abaddon being too difficult is the most common piece of feedback we've gotten - so perhaps this issue needs a bit of context. We chose to make Abaddon VERY hard because we wanted to celebrate amazing runs. Without a challenging end-boss, a "perfect" run feels a lot like a "pretty-good" run. They both end up at the same place. In our view, the true test of a run isn't whether you beat Abaddon but how long you can survive. However, we realize that not everyone might feel this way, so we've decided to m...v1.0.3 Patch NotesNov 7, 2020 - Community Announcementsv1.0.3 is officially live. We wanted to bring you a quick update to fix some "quality-of-life" issues with the game - as well as to bring some small balance adjustments and bug fixes. Note that you may need to restart your Steam client to see the update. POISON MINI-EXPANSION While the focus of this update was on quality-of-life improvements, we wanted to add a few new characters to keep things fresh and to lay the foundation for future updates. New Characters {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38306384/615d58fd83a7da2a2a0aa5476d1fadc28b755823.png ROGUE (L1 Gnome Fighter) 1 D / 3 HP / 6 S Poisonous. Inexhaustible. ROGUE (L2 Gnome Fighter) 2 D / 5 HP / 6 S Poisonous. Inexhaustible. ROGUE (L3 Gnome Fighter) 3 D / 7 HP / 6 S Poisonous. Inexhaustible. VENIN WITCH (L2 Human Mage) 2 D / 4 HP / 2 S Deals double damage against Poisoned characters. VENIN WITCH (L3 Human Mage) 3 D / 5 HP / 2 S Deals double damage against Poisoned characters. New Relics Pure Venin. Enemies take +1 damage from poison. Venina's Hex. Battle Start: Poison a random enemy. ...plus a new bonus objective! QUALITY OF LIFE IMPROVEMENTS You can now sell equipment. We've changed the flow for selling equipment and characters. Note that this also allows you to sell unwanted Potions of Experience. Faster battles. You can now speed up battles even more with "5x" fast forward. Still not fast enough? We've added an option in the settings menu to skip Battle Banners to speed up battles even more. Multiple unlocks. After finishing a run you can now unlock multiple new characters (if your score is high enough). Fewer frustrating situations for summon builds. We've done a lot of tweaks to make fewer situations that frustrate summoning. Bonus objectives and hazard rooms have been updated to clog up your board less. The Druid now summons at the end of the first round to give you more control over your board. Finally we've tweaked the logic for the Essence Collector and Spirit Shackles artifacts so that they will always summon (so long as there's board space). That said, board-space management is still a critical part of the summon comp! CHARACTER BALANCE CHANGES The Armorsmith now gives +2/3/4 Armor (was previously +2/4/6). The Druid now summons at the end of the first round, rather than the start of each battle. Elder Gryx now has 7 HP (was previously 9 HP) and is no longer Inexhaustible. Marianna now has 2 Attack. OTHER BALANCE CHANGES Encounters in The Upper Dungeon now have more board layout variations. Blood Wisps no longer injure themselves after attacking. Blood Wisps are now simply 1/1 Elementals. The Hand of Abaddon now gains +1 Attack whenever an ally dies. Simulae Prime now starts with 1 Attack. The Reanimated Colossus now has 16 HP (was previously 18 HP). Armored gloves now give +1 HP and +1 Armor at the start of battle (previously gave +2 HP). The Potion of Experience now costs 3 Gold (was previously 2 Gold) and the Potion of Mastery now costs 8 Gold (was previously 5 Gold). Flit Fetterbite now has 6...Hotfix v1.0.2Oct 26, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsVersion 1.0.2 Version 1.0.2 is live! While arguably not the most exciting update, we wanted to quickly fix a handful of critical bugs from the last version. Bug Fixes Unlocking a unit after defeating Abaddon no longer soft-locks the game. Thanks TacticalNuance! Fighting Rat Tooth with a Haruspex in your party no longer causes an infinite loop. This occured on New Game- where Dire Rats only have 1 HP. Multiclass characters no longer revert to their original class when leveling up. Thanks AHotSipOfColdTea!
