Horde Hunters News

Hello. A small patch to fix a couple of bugs and a taste of things to come.

General

• New Warrior attack animations (other characters will have too at later updates)
  
• Primary weapon no longer fires when ability is in use (Jester being the only exception to this). The attack timer will still count down in the background though
  
• Attack rate upgrade amount reduced a bit while damage upgrades made higher
  

Bugs

• Bandit Camp and Library could only be used once
  
• Character collision shape needed a slight adjustment
  

Hello. This is a special Halloween update with a new mission map - Graveyard. You'll need to have the Village map completed in order to play it. Some of the additions introduced in this new map have also been brought to other maps as standard gameplay elements.

[h2]Graveyard[/h2]

New enemies and overall spooky theme awaits you in this zombie-infested graveyard mission map!


[h2]Disable ability[/h2]

I wanted to specially mention that you can now completely disable the character's special ability for an even greater weapon attack bonus. Together with auto-aiming this can allow you to play more casually (one handed) as you can concentrate on only moving around.

For other changes see details below.

Hello. This update brings a new mission map with a bit of a different format than seen before. I also got a second monitor for myself at home and saw an issue with not having proper windowed fullscreen support so that's now included with a new setting. Finally, there's some GUI changes mostly in the main menu areas.

General

Hello. This is mostly a maintenance update with one exception.

[h2]New synergies[/h2]



On the previous major update new synergies between weapons and items were randomized for each run. Now synergies have been added between all weapons as well bringing a lot more combinations into play.

[h2]RSF festival[/h2]
