NEW MAJOR UPDATE v1.1.1 | Changelog
We're happy to announce that the v1.1.1 is live on PC!
This update will also be deployed on consoles in the coming weeks.
This new major update includes improved game balancing towards enemies, classes and level design, and bug fixes. To reassure some of you, the purpose wasn't to make the game easier but simply fairer and more balanced, with a hard mode that remains very challenging.
Here's the Patch Note so you can follow along with all the main changes added to Souldiers:
[h3]Quality of life improvements:[/h3]
- Reduced loading times on Retry.
- Added resolution selection options to Options Video menu.
- Added new save statues and checkpoints around the game world.
- On retry, recover HP up to a certain % depending on difficulty (100% in Easy, 50% in Medium and Hard).
- Warm necklace no longer needs to be equipped to give protection from high temperatures, and now has more effects.
- Removed teleporter confinement restriction during the Great Pyramid arc.
- Statue checkpoint menu appears automatically after first activation to avoid confusion.
- Great Pyramid secret spinning doors are now marked in the map when on camera, no need to enter. Visited ones are marked different for extra clarity.

- Mana bar is refilled when getting a skill sphere, so new skills can be tested.
