These Doomed Isles News

The Deckbuilder update for These Doomed Isles is live RIGHT NOW!

The Deckbuilder update introduces a host of features allowing you a deeper level of control over the cards you start a run with and the cards you want to see during a run with all 4 of the gods! This will help negate any issues with negative RNG and enable you to go more in depth of strategy. This is something we have been working on for a while after taking your feedback on board so we can't wait to hear how you find these changes!



We are also introducing the star system to give players additional challenges that will give new and existing players additional goals to pursue throughout their experience which can then provide a valuable resource to unlock new starting cards.



The Deckbuilder Update also features a new tutorial sequence that aims to give all players regardless of experience a deeper understanding of the existing mechanics within the game, while also providing a small glimpse of what is yet to come from the campaign mode that will be introduced in the 1.0 update of These Doomed Isles.

Added a fix for the 'Awe' prayer, which could ask you to build more Wonders than are possible to build. It will now limit the number of Wonders required by the number that are available to each God.
