The Slormancer News

We've been working on The Slormancer for almost 4 years now and the 2 basic enemies (Skeleton Soldier and Skeleton Archer) have been here the whole time.
So we were super excited to create new enemies for the game!

We added a dozen of new enemies to The Slormancer, it's time for you to meet some of them!


Zombie Peasants Weak alone but deadly in numbers. It applies the "Scratch" debuff to its target, doubling Zombie Peasant Damage for the next 30 seconds.



The Plague Doctor The Plague Doctor spreads Poisonous Areas all over the Map while also moving out if you get too close. Dangerous if you let him live too long



The COLOSSUS The Dreadful Colossus deals Damage in Circles of various sizes when he slams the ground, better be careful. Also, never hide under its fists.



Corrupted Puddings and Burning Puddings Corrupted Puddings create a Dangerous Area of Effect below you.

Burning Puddings cast Elemental Projectiles that follow you for a short period of time.

Turn out these cute little guys are quite a threat.



The Hex Shroud The Hex Shroud applies a Curse decreasing Armor, Attack Speed or Movement Speed while dealing Damage over time to you if you are within its ever-expanding range.



The Fallen Knight - Elite
The game also features Elite enemies. They are obviously quite stronger but also faster and smarter.
Each Elite Enemy also has an additional behavior and/or an enhanced effect:
Examples from enemies above:
- Elite Zombie Peasant summons another Zombie Peasants whenever he hits you.
- Elite Hex Shroud applies the 3 Curses at once.
- Elite Corrupted Pudding's Area of Effects are recasted after a bit.

You'll have to meet each and every Elite version to figure out their mechanic.

[h2]Key Features[/h2]

• An irrational story!
  You were born with absolutely no skill whatsoever, and yet you find a way to be the last hope of the realm as the enigmatic Slormancer and his incompetent underling try to conquer the world once again. How great. But like your grandfather once told you: "You might not have the talent but you have the will."
  
• Three unique Classes
  Unlock and master more than 200 unique Abilities, Upgrades and Passives for every class. Each active Ability has its own skill tree, allowing you to create unique combinations.
  
• Harness the power of your Ancestral Legacy
  Choose your Legacy and inherit ancient powers among more than 150 Element-related Skills and Passives in the Ancestral Skill Tree.
  Master Fire and summon powerful elementals, use Ice to freeze your foes, convoke Thunder and create massive storms, embrace the power of Light or make one with Shadow, it's up to you!
  
• Unique Weapons
  120 unique and game-changing weapons available for every class. Each Slorm Reaper is a unique and priceless weapon that you can loot during your adventure. Once found, wield it to benefit from its powerful effect, level it up, and eventually evolve it to a greater form.
  
• Endless quest for Epic Loot!
  Find and collect normal, magic, rare and epic items with completely random properties but also shiny legendary items with more than 80 unique affixes.
  Then enhance them with an infinite upgrade system!
  
• Collect and Progress
  Unlock Skills, Upgrades and Ancestral Abilities, find epic items, and collect Slorm Reapers to create deadly combinations that suits your own play style!
  The Slormancer is all about Collection and Progression so you can switch at any point between any skills you’ve previously unlocked, Slorm Reapers and items you’ve previously found, even between the 3 classes of the game! This unique Flexibility allows you to swap between different combinations and play styles in the blink of an eye, whenever you feel like it.
  
• Procedural Adventures!
  Defeat lots of unique monsters, elites and bosses with more than 40 different affixes through procedurally generated adventures and hunt down The Slormancer’s Warlords through 7 different upgradable environments. There are always things to do and monsters to kill! And it's always different!
