Corpse Keeper News

My favorite part of Dark Souls 1 is the fact you're essentially playing as a walking, decaying, tired old reanimated corpse. This is a game about struggle, fatigue, dragging yourself forward despite the crushing burdens of battle. How fitting that you play a cadaverous former warrior, barely held together by dark magic and a suit of armor - the perfect metaphor for a decrepit, erstwhile world, clinging to the bitter embers of life. You take that mood, mix it with the party-based combat of Diablo 4 or Darkest Dungeon, and inject some seriously brutal kills and gore. Available now, in full 1.0 glory, this is a seriously nasty roguelike.

This dark fantasy action roguelike has my attention, and a free demo

1. The game is now playable on Steam Deck.
   
2. When the total amount of Blood poured into the Blood Altar reaches a certain threshold, the "Corpse Activity" option will be added to the Ossuary - Coffin - Corpse Management Interface. You can pour in Blood to reduce the cooldown time for the selected character's Soul Crystal usage. The effect of Physical Activation is similar to preservatives and lasts for the duration of each exploration.
   
3. Starting from the 4-Crystal difficulty, a new category of equipment called the "Exclusive Weapon" has been added. These weapons can only be used by specific characters, do not provide armor, but will offer additional Attack.
   
4. The number of Skulls required to enhance a Corpse's depth of Memories of Bones at the Bonfire has been reduced.
   
5. Items will no longer be lost when carrying Guardian Stones to teleport back to the Ossuary, regardless of whether an emergency escape is used.
   
6. You can now loot Scout Skulls from Elite Scout.
   
7. The drop rate for Blood has been increased.
   
8. The stack limits for certain items have been increased:
   Skulls: 2 → 3
   Gold: 2 → 3
   Blood: 10 → 15
   Guardian Stones: 2 → 3
   Pickaxes: 1 → 2
   

1. The difficulty curve for Heroes has been adjusted. Heroes will be a bit easier to conquer before 3-Crystal difficulty, and more challenging at 4-Crystal and 5-Crystal difficulty levels.
   
2. Increased players' Magic Damage dealt.
   
3. Players' Inspiration Strike will no longer be interrupted by normal attacks.
   
4. Resilience bonuses for slow actions have been increased. Before 3-Crystal difficulty, enemies do not benefit from this bonus, but starting from 3-Crystal difficulty, enemies will also have a slight benefit from this effect.
   
5. The Vagrant Knight's attack speed will increase with consecutive hits, with a maximum increase of approximately 20%.
   
6. The quadruple hit damage of the Templar Knight in the Counsellor's Hidden Chamber has been decreased.
