Heroes of a Broken Land 2 News

It's been a while since an announcement, but Heroes of a Broken Land 2 has been steadily moving forward. Version 2.12 brings a complete set of skills to the Temple jobs. Priest, Holy Knight and Dark Knight are now complete. Over 2/3rds of all Job skills are now implemented. Enjoy!

As always feedback, bugs and opinions are always welcome, it's why Heroes of a Broken Land 2 is in early access!

I'll be moving onto the Elemental Temple next and finishing up each job's skill lists. After than I'll start filling out the Mage Tower. Expect changes in the future as skills mutate and move around to ensure that each job is interesting and unique while making sure that no single job or building is so critical that you must acquire it. A large amount of balance and tuning will happen after all the jobs have a full skill roster.

Here's a list of the many changes and additions that have been released recently:

0.2.12

• Dark Knight skills now complete (and rearranged)
  
• Priest has Holy Fire upgrade skill
  
• Fix text for Heavy Armour and Holy Ritual

I've finally bumped the version number to 0.2.0!

The big addition is the Female portrait heads, adding even more variety to the humans of the broken lands. I've had the heads for a while but it took some time to stabilize the rest of the game before I was able to add them in. I hope you enjoy the new heads!



This patch also brings raise dead skills and potions, so now a properly equipped party might not have to return to town so often when a party member perishes.

Of course there are a number of smaller fixes in this release as well:

• Female portraits added
  
• Add mouse hover text to elementals
  
• Fix were UI was usable during certain dialogs
  
• Fix issue where saving while player moved on world map
  
• Fix double regen text
  
• Raise Dead and Resurrect skills and potions added
  

This patch brings the first new monsters since Heroes of a Broken Land 2 was released in early access. These new monsters will challenge your ability to master the elements.



Currently you can find these creatures in any dungeon along side the undead that currently roam the dungeons of Heroes of a Broken Land 2.
