Happy Independence Day!

If you launch DemonCrawl in the next 24 hours, you will receive a patriotic Star Spangled inventory skin! Check it out below:





We hope you're having a great holiday weekend!

Hi folks,

We deployed a number of hotfixes today - you can find the full list of changes below!

As some of you noticed, the Arena server was down for a few hours today. We believe we have resolved the underlying issue with the help of your reports. There are still a few client-side crashes that can occur, but we think we'll be able to iron these out very soon.

Thank you for your patience!

Mac and Linux builds should be available tomorrow night.
