Next Run News

[p]The Mage is the third class of the game, available in the free demo version (release on October 3).[/p][p]Unlike the Warrior and Artisan, the Mage relies not on brute strength or equipment, but on spells. Offensive, defensive, and supportive magic create a completely different playstyle — more dynamic and flexible.[/p][p]The Mage is a true collector of spells. The more diverse spells you discover, the more tools for victory you gain. You can play cautiously, using weaker but mana-efficient spells, or attempt to finish a battle with one ultimate spell. The key is to manage your mana reserves before striking![/p][p]Class features:[/p][p]— The Magic skill is extremely important: it increases the effectiveness of all spells.[/p][p]— Starts the game with 20 gold, a simple staff, and several random level 1–2 spells.[/p][p]— Key talents: Intelligence (boosts Magic) and Meditation (increases mana pool).[/p][p]— Maximum mana increased by +5.[/p][p]— Duplicate spells found in adventures improve those already learned.[/p][p]Weaknesses:[/p][p]— Strongly dependent on mana and the available spells.[/p][p][/p][p][/p]

[p]The Artisan is the second Next Run class, available in the free demo (release on October 3).
He specializes in crafting and improving items, as well as gathering resources. His key talents are Dexterity (required for Crafting) and Perception (required for Gathering). This is a class for players who prefer a thoughtful and controlled process. A true treasure for tacticians who enjoy complex multi-step strategies. Not for beginners, but for those who have already mastered the game and want to discover a completely new style of play.[/p][p]Class features:
— Starts with 20 gold, a pickaxe, and random blueprints of level 1–2 items, allowing immediate crafting.
— The higher the Dexterity, the stronger items become after upgrades.
— Unlike the Warrior who rushes into battle, the Artisan first gathers blueprints, collects resources, creates and upgrades items, and only then calmly engages in fights.
— Can turn an ordinary dagger (+2 damage) into a deadly weapon (+8 damage) and clear enemies with confidence.[/p][p]Weaknesses:
— Slow start: while the Warrior is already fighting, the Artisan is still preparing. This class requires patience and planning.[/p][p][/p][p][/p]

[p]In Next Run you will find 7 unique classes — each with its own playstyle.[/p][p]Today we introduce the first one — the Warrior.[/p][p]The Warrior is a master of combat and direct confrontation.[/p][p]He is strong and resilient, gaining bonuses to Strength and Endurance. His key skills are Attack and Defense, which are directly enhanced by equipment.[/p][p]Class features:[/p][p]— Starts the game with 20 Gold and a Club, allowing him to engage in battles effectively right away.[/p][p]— Can switch Stances, balancing between Attack and Defense. For example, in battles against mages, where physical defense is useless, the Warrior tries to defeat the enemy as quickly as possible in the Attack Stance.[/p][p]— Easy to master: he is the class you’ll use to complete the Tutorial and begin your first run.[/p][p]— One of the three classes available in the Demo, releasing this October.[/p][p]Weaknesses:[/p][p]The Warrior faces Hell attacks 25% more often, so he must act more decisively.[/p][p]Despite specializing in melee combat, the Warrior has no restrictions: he can gather resources, craft items, use magic, and much more.[/p][p]The Warrior is the best choice for newcomers, while still offering tactical variety for experienced players.[/p][p][/p][p][/p]
