You have been asking us about this for a long time, and we are pleased to bring this opportunity to life.

• After purchasing the event you need, you will have the access to Achievement;
  

We worked for a very long time and collected the entire game lore, supplemented by beautiful artworks, which our artists diligently painted for a long time. You can buy an artbook here:

Hello everyone, friends! Previously we told you about Buck's skills:
https://steamcommunity.com/games/1016730/announcements/detail/1613899406805276460



Meet the faithful four-legged pet of Buck - Charon! Unlike Sly and Lucia, Buck the Beastial Rage will not travel alone! Their interaction with Charon will be an important part of both the plot and the gameplay. Technically, Buck and Charon are the one character - they are interconnected by a strong mental bounds and have common health points (you will learn more about their story in a separate story chapter).



The interaction of Buck and Charon is a completely new mechanic for the Deck of Ashes!
Charon will have a scale of Rage Points, which must be filled with the attacks of a certain type. You will be able to use unique abilities corresponding to the current Talent having accumulated a sufficient number of Rage Points. You can spend Rage Points only once per battle. Choose wisely who you should set Charon's anger on! ... But remember: when the rage overwhelms Charon - his very nature changes.



In addition, the third archetype of cards - MARKS is dedicated to Charon, and it is mainly based on the ash deck. Marks are the special feauture that affects the effect of bonuses from cards with the Ashe property. You can not impose more than one Mark of any type at the same time. Each type of Mark has its own effect. For example, one of the Marks increases the damage of the ash cards, and the other one will allow you to quickly gain Rage Points.

And this is only a small part of what we have prepared for you :) More is coming in the next update!
