Adventure Mode Update

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

I'm very excited to introduce this probably the biggest content update since the initial launch! 🤯

[h2]Adventure Mode[/h2]
Main feature is, of course, the Adventure Mode - a new potentially endless game mode with lots of new content:
  • new missions
  • new enemies
  • new challenges
  • new bosses
  • 13 new Steam Achievements
Designed to provide some more fun to those who has already finished the main campaign and looking for more challenge! 🏹

Story picks up right where it was left: invasion is growing stronger and stronger every day, and people of Ijmeria are desperately fighting a seemingly hopeless battle to fend off the invaders! Help them if you dare! ⚔️

  • develop your character with specialized custom builds
  • get powerful equipment amd improve it with rare gems with new equipment system!
  • explore new skills - master the mysterious power of Dar'Pillak - with ability to temporary possess your enemies or unleashing a devastating storm on their heads
  • fight new enemies on new and unique missions - some of them in familiar locations from the main campaign, some of them are in previously unreachable areas!
  • customize your experience - you may optionally increase difficulty of a mission by accepting challenges- for greater rewards!
  • meet (and maybe even share a mission) with mysterious Weaver - powerful Ijmerian mage, who was sent to help you on your path


[h2]Illusion Mode[/h2]

Apart from new Adventure Mode, there's also a new training game mode - Illusion!
It allows you to test any build with any equipment against up to any 8 enemies from the game by your choosing! (except for some bosses)
Illusion mode is located in "FUN MODES" section of the main menu!

[h2]Balance and equipment[/h2]
There are other notable changes as well:
  • Tons of bugfixes and small improvements here and there
  • New battle moveset for Ranger character
  • New spellcasting system for Mage - now spells can be cast right from the selection wheel
  • Slight rebalance for Acrobat - now she gains energy not just from mid-air strikes, but from doublestrikes, dodge-strikes and slide-strikes as well. Apart from that, all Daggers are guaranteed to have at least a "backstab" perk, while all Sabers are guaranteed to have a new "graceful" perk, which increases stamina gain from performing special strikes
  • New CRT-like videofilter:



I really hope you'll like this new update and find it worth your time!
If you like the game - please, consider supporting it by leaving a positive review on Steam! Positive reviews give me lots of joy and may even help in negotiating finance support for the Chapter 2!

Have fun!
