https://steamcommunity.com/games/1016730/announcements/detail/1607146545965085446

Hi everyone folks!
We are sincerely glad that you liked the upgraded cards. We appreciated your feedback, added a pinch of our stuff and made the cards more accessible to everyone :)

Cost of cards


Now the upgraded cards are cheaper. From 5 to 20 ash depending on the strength of the card. Ore is no more needed!
Feel free to experiment with different kind of decks :)

New upgrades


Several new upgrades for the following cards were added:
  • Blazing Torch;
  • Liquid Fire;
  • Snake Shiv;
  • Draw Blood;
  • Timely Lunge;
  • Dangerous Wound;
  • Healing Balm.
The notification system is changed


We continue to speed up and simplify the gameplay. The conditions of the message, which remind of the unspent Rest Points at the tent have been changed. Now it will come up less often, only in the most important and necessary cases.

Other changes and improvements

We have fixed some bugs and localization errors. Mostly thanks to our community! We appreciate it a lot!
The situations when there were "islands" on the game map, which were impossible to get into were fixed;
Now you can zoom in all in-game cards by right-clicking on them;
Prepare the game for the important Halloween event :)

GAMEPAD SUPPORT AND CARD UPGRADES



Hello friends! Today we have two major features and other improvements. Without many words, let’s check out the details about the current patch!

Gamepad support


You asked us about this feature and we did it. At the moment, the game supports several standard gamepads. Soon we will add support for Playstation and Xbox gamepad, as well as a guide for using the gamepad.



In case you decide to configure the gamepad by yourself, we shared the configuration of each button on a special topic on the forum.

For any questions regarding the gamepad, its settings, etc., you can contact us on this topic: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1016730/discussions/0/3175526477751842768/

Card upgrades




We thought a lot about how we could make the cards from the starting deck more useful for you and make them a part of your archetype. Here is the "Card upgrade"

Now the starting cards of all characters can be improved by the Blacksmith.
  • Fireball;
  • Knife Strike;
  • Hilt Strike;
  • Ash pact.

This will give you a choice not to get rid of the starting cards, but to turn them into part of your gameplay, which will complement your game strategy.

We are looking forward to your feedback. If you like this new feature, we will expand the pool of cards that can receive upgrades.

Change Raider's achievements


In the last update, we got rid of the intermediate level of difficulty the Raider, but completely forgot about achievements. With this update, we solve this problem by changing the conditions for obtaining achievements to new ones:

A Modest Bonfire
Have 5 upgraded Pyromancer cards in your Battle Deck.

Highway Bandit
Have 5 upgraded Rogue cards in your Battle Deck.

Sergeant
Have 3 upgraded Warrior cards in your Battle Deck.

Important improvements
  • Now all the Merchant's and Blacksmith's cards can be zoomed by pressing the right mouse button;
  • Game freezes caused by a large number of effects of the same type were fixed.

HAVE A GREAT GAME AND DON'T FORGET TO UPDATE THE GAME!

PATCH NOTES (EA BUILD 193)



Hello everyone, friends! This time we have a major update, which includes numerous wishes of community and our long-standing features! :)

NEW POISON


Note: the change of poison affects both monsters and the player.
Now poisoning immediately imposes 4 stacks of poison, and the effect decreases by 1 for each move made by player.
The effect can be reduced by treatment cards, as well as cards that reduce the negative effect.



CARDS CHANGES & REBALANCE
  • Scales of Avarice: damage reduced from 5 to 3;
  • Champion’s Pauldron: now instead of regeneration, 1 disease would be destroyed;
  • Impartial fire: now after applying the card you take doubled damage until the end of the battle;
  • Countdown: triggers the pyrobomb effect on the enemy and imposes burning on him;
  • Barbed Boomerang: damage increased to 8-12 (was: 5-10). Damage to the player is reduced by 2-3 (was 2-5);
  • Healing Blood: restore 5 Health for each bleeding inflicted on an opponent;
  • Ash Sphere: Now deals 5 damage + 1 more damage for each discarded card in battle;
  • Short Respite: reduces the player’s speed by 1. Receive: 6 Health and 1 strength in two turns.
REWARD SCREEN


Now you can spend your faithfully earned Reward Points whenever you want. Just press the "Spend reward points" button in the main menu of the game.



UPDATED DIFFICULTY SELECTION WINDOW


We remove the intermediate level of difficulty (Marauder), which only confused the new players.



THIRST FOR ALCHEMY


We decided that you guys are rarely use potions, so we add a 100% chance of dropping a random potion from any chest.



IMPORTANT CHANGES
  • TORMENTER talent was changed: opponents deal 1% less damage for every Poison applied on them;
  • The Ash Pact now takes 10 Health (was 20) on difficulty levels Wanderer and Adventurer;
  • Now at resolutions 1366x768 and less, cards will be displayed more zoomed when hovering over them;
  • Praise the sun players on laptops: now you can zoom in and out using the “+” and “-” buttons;
  • Potions are now on the same tab as recipes.
