1.4 Update - The Arsenal Update!

Hello everyone! :zimzimSmile:

We are very happy to announce that the 1.4 version is out now on Steam! This time we could not do a simultaneous release on console as we had to release the update as soon as possible in order to be able to participate to a Steam festival in May but we will do our best to release it as soon as we can later this month!

You can check below our first trailer since 1.0 release to showcase the new changes!

[h2]8 New Weapons[/h2]
Each hero received 2 new weapons for a total of 12 weapons to play with!



Our goal was to provide more playstyles with the heroes so you should find a weapon you enjoy for your favorite hero!

You unlock the Arsenal by meeting at least once with the Master. And you unlock new weapon by defeating the Master at Destiny Level 2 and 4 with each hero. While doing so you can unlock passives for your base weapons!



[h2]36 Weapon Passives[/h2]
Each weapon, including the base weapon, has 3 passives attached, each passive has to be unlocked through a small quest during your runs. Some quests are easy and some are hard but you can complete them at any Destiny Level.


Once unlocked you can directly use the passive during your run at the next Arsenal because you have one Arsenal in each intro room and before the Master if you want to change your playstyle during your run.

Showing below one passive per weapon so 1/3 of the passives -



As you can see, the passives are very different from each others giving access to even more playstyles variations and they are meant to be more useful in certain situations than others, up to you to pick what you prefer!

[h2]What is next?[/h2]
The Arsenal was a massive update we really wanted to do to give more variety to the gameplay, we wish to keep adding more polish to the game when possible as we had to focus on the new content for this update. We also want to start working on Yamat, the 5th playable character update as soon as possible.

We will hope you will have fun with this update and thanks for supporting us!

The Physical editions are nearly ready, it took more time than expected but we will soon have delivered everything to Limited Run Games!

One last thing, we saw the community messages and decided to translate the game in Spanish for a future update!

Have an excellent week! :taurusSmirk:
