June Update and Summer Sale
Good Lords, Fair Ladies!
Steam Summer Sale has started! During this gamers’ holiday you can get Diplomacy is Not an Option at a 40% discount.
However, we thought this wasn't enough to celebrate the event, so we’ve prepared an update! This time its main focus is Endless Mode. Without further ado, what has been changed?
[h2]Two New Endless Mode Layouts[/h2]
Two new maps have been added to Endless Mode to fill the difficulty gap between Born to Chill and other maps.
Undead Coast, as the name suggests, allows you to fight against the Undead. Here you have a decent chance to survive for a long time. It’s also the biggest map in Endless Mode.
And Labyrinth of Pleasure is an easier version of Labyrinth of Pain.
[h2]New Endless Mode Menu[/h2]
Endless Mode Menu has got a new style and now fits with Sandbox Mode and Challenges Menus. You can filter maps by size, enemy factions or enemy numbers in waves.
[h2]Poll Results and the New Enemy[/h2]
Remember voting for which enemy makes an appearance in the game next? Magister of Necromancy took the first place, and with this update will start appearing in maps featuring the Undead, in particular, on the new Undead Coast map.
[h2]Another Map for Sandbox[/h2]
Under Pressure is coming to Sandbox. Now you can put enemies under pressure!
[h2]Additional Improvement to Formation Box[/h2]
Now you can stretch not only rows of your formation, but the whole formation!
[h2]Other Changes[/h2]
In the Attacking Waves Settings Window it’s now easier to switch between Quick and Advanced Setups. The game doesn’t reset changes you’ve made to attacking waves. Instead switching between Setups converts settings from one Setup to another Setup.
Enemy health doesn’t increase as fast as before with Skilled Survivor on. Now you can survive for longer before enemies become too tough.
In Troublesome Valley some especially dangerous attacking waves became slightly easier than before. Should we rename it to Not-so-Troublesome Valley now?
The full list of changes is, as usual, under the cut.
