Hello to the lost souls of Shadespire,

Our first Universal Card Update is here! You'll be getting 20 new cards to add to your decks.

All you need to do is update and launch your game! There you will be presented with a Universal Card Pack, which when clicked, will gift you with the cards, straight into your deck builder. You'll also be able to see the list of new cards on our Bulletin Board in the start menu screen.

Check out the list of cards:






[h2]Card Showcase[/h2]

COMPLETE VICTORY

Though this card might seem high risk, Complete Victory is an easy reward for those who specialise their decks around defence and survival. Outwit and outlast your enemy opponent for 3 well earned Glory.

CONFUSED PRIORITIES

Has the enemy already claimed an Objective you need? Claim another objective and swap the two! Destroy your enemy's strategy and claim your victory!

DAEMONIC WEAPON

A devastating weapon to plow through your enemies, while also inflicting damage to your fighter. This weapon is a must have for any Ironskull’s Boyz deck.

Discard: Discarding cards in the End Phase sometimes causes issues with the Pass button, however using the SPACE bar will also work here
Bloodless: This card is score-able if drawn after damage is dealt during a round. This is not the correct behavior for the card

Concede Messaging

- Victory and Defeat

- Bulletin Board

General Gameplay
Concede Messaging: While we want players to stay in matches, they don’t always want to. We want you to feel satisfied that you’ve forced an opponent to surrender, so we’ve updated messaging around conceding.

Art & Visual FX
+ Victory and Defeat: We’ve juiced up the post-match screen to make winning and losing feel a little nicer

Menus & UI
+ Bulletin Board: We’ve set up a little messaging system so that we can send important announcements right to the Home screen of the game - now you have no need ALT+TAB to read Producer Nik’s patch notes

Bug Fixes
+ Gurzag 2 Swole: Fixed a bug where the game would stop if Gurzag took out ANY fighter during an online match
+ What Counts as Moving?: Fixed a bug where the use of Hidden Paths would not score March of the Dead
+ Invisible Walls: Fixed a bug where Invisible Walls wasn’t working as intended. Now it works as intended
