The Breach Wanderers Update
Greetings, wanderers!
This is the big one! After a tremendous two years of Early Access, breach Wanderers is now fully released!
The game ended up being much bigger than I had anticipated it to be. I'm exceedingly happy about the state of the game for the full release. More than 1200 cards, 10 awesome and unique characters, great reviews and thousands of players creating more and more crazy decks each day.
I'm really excited for everyone to play Maighir and to try the new Depth 4.
I do have a bit of bad news though: Raiser Games is no longer publishing Breach Wanderers. Their parent company decided that Raiser Games should no longer do any publishing work in order to instead focus on creating their own franchises.
I received these news very recently, so I'm all on my own to release this game now. I will really need all the help I can get! Make sure to tell your friends about the game, post about it on your favorite social medias, and leave a review if you haven't already!
And now, the mighty Patch Notes for the full release! (Or read them on our website for a full breakdown of every card change.)

[h2]What's New?[/h2]
- Maighir is now available as the final Playable Character!
- Idol of Corruption is now available as the final idol!
- Depth 4 is now available! Get ready to face the greatest threat to our world yet.
- The game now has more translations! The available languages are the following: English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Korean, Chinese (Simplified).
- All card drawings are now fully original! I started out by using some card art from various Asset Stores, but all of these were replaced with original drawings!
- You can now access the game's credits from the main menu.
- Added 4 new bounties
- Added 3 new quests
o The Shrine is now locked behind a quest
- Added 11 new cardbacks
o The Release Celebration cardback will be automatically unlocked for everyone who played during Early Access
- Added 29 generic cards (and made 2 created cards into unlockable cards)
- Card changes:
o Active Trinkets: Many active trinkets were buffed. The "Scaling" property was added to several of them, making them get stronger the further in your run you are.
o "Void" discard theme: Many cards that had effects when discarded were changed so that they made more sense as a cohesive deck.
o Shock cards: Shock as a status was a bit underwhelming. Part of that was because of how little support it got from cards. Many cards that had to do with Shock were changed to make Shocking enemies more exciting, and a potential deck theme.
