We've been silent for a little bit, but this doesn't mean we weren't busy! We have prepared a small surprise for you all and we really hope that you will enjoy it.
You've given us so much support during Early Access and the game premiere and we definitely want to give back by creating some extra content that you will hopefully enjoy!
So, let's talk about Patch 1.1 - Shattered Reality.
This patch brings 3 totally new ways to play the game!
First of all, we have 2 endless climbs. These are modes which are 100% gameplay-focused. You will fight an enemy after enemy until you will (eventually) fall. We found it's super fun, especially for players who finished the main campaign and just want to play around with different strategies.
Endless Misery
This is our hardcore climb created for all of ye power gamers wanting to get some proper challenge.
Endless Power
This is our “chill mode”. It is raining outside and you just want to chill a bit with some silly combos and crazy fights - like 3 Golems? Endless Power is here for you :D
Weekly Events
This is a mode in which you will get tons of modifiers that will absolutely change some core things about the game. Every week, there will be new, unique events and leaderboards where you can compete for the best score with other players.
On top of it, with this patch we are also bringing some extra optimization (especially for low-end machines). It's nothing groundbreaking but our tests shown quite a few extra fps - and that's always welcome, isn't it? :)
Overall, we are quite proud of this patch and we really hope you will enjoy the new modes!
Anyway! We want to release this update to the public on the 17th of this month and we would like to invite you to the Beta to test if everything works as intended.
This means we're sharing access to our beta branch and if someone wants to join us there and check out the new things, well, we'd really appreciate all feedback!
One really important thing that needs to be said:
