Hello everyone, welcome to another post-launch update.
This update adds some new game modes including Boss Rush, variations on rifts, and the ability to replay Target Practice and Swift Smash stages. There's also a new secret in the Sanctum relating to the banished…

But first, we’d like to announce our collaboration with our friends at Doom Turtle, Hibernian Workshop, and Flying Oak Games to bring you the Action-Packed Roguelike Gems bundle! If you are looking for more high-reflexes Roguelite action, make sure to check out Astral Ascent, Ember Knights, and ScourgeBringer. Any game you already own will be automatically removed and any discounts are applied on top of the bundle discount, so if you were already considering picking some of these other games this bundle may be perfect for you.



Additionally, you will be able to fight Tasmos as a guest Boss Battle in Astral Ascent’s latest update! Bosses from Scourgebringer and Ember Knights are also included. Seeing the boss fight adapted into a different game was really cool!
