Noobs Are Coming News

[p]Here is a pretty big update packed with new content and many improvements![/p][p][/p][p]Update 10.0 - NEW CONTENT + MANY ENHANCHEMENTS (10 September 2025)[/p][p]+1 Playable Character Boss, +1 Attacks, +3 Items, +2 Achievements + many Enhancements[/p][p][/p][p]NEW CONTENT:[/p]

• [p]NEW CHARACTER: Magnebro (34th playable character available in the game) [/p]
• [p]NEW ATTACK: Bar-Bar: Creates a projectile bar attached to you that deals contact damage (scales well with Amount, Size, Orbit Speed and/or Arcane Damage)[/p]
• [p]NEW ITEM: Chest Express (unlocked by default, white item, you find a chest at the beginning of next wave)[/p]
• [p]NEW ITEM: Glass Heart (unlocked by default, white item, Gives HP Max and Damage but starts next wave with less HP)[/p]
• [p]NEW ITEM: Soul Burner (unlocked by default, white item, +1 to all Damage Types, -2% Soul Harvest)[/p]
• [p]NEW ACHIEVEMENT: Win a run with Vilethorn on Difficulty 5: Unlocks Magnebro Character[/p]
• [p]NEW ACHIEVEMENT: Win a run with Magnebro on Difficulty 1: Unlocks Bar-Bar Attack[/p]
• [p]By popular request, all future 'Win a run with \[character] on Difficulty 5' achievements will now unlock retroactively if you've already completed them in earlier versions [/p]
• [p](it means if you already win a run in D5 with Vilethorn in previous version, you should automatically get the achievement when lauching the game updated to version 10.0+ for the first time)[/p]

[p]ENHANCEMENTS:[/p]

• [p]“Unique and Upgradable” Attacks buff/rework: the upgrades now costs only 50% of their price. It makes those attacks more economically viable, same for Behemoth character For example: if you find a Green “Impact” Skill and you already had a white tier Impact equipped (meaning buying the green upgrade will just upgrade your existing attack) it will cost 20 souls instead of 40.[/p]
• [p]Behemoth Character: now also gives +1 Synergy Level for all your equipped synergies (example: even if you have only 1 Air Attack, it counts as 2)[/p]
• [p]Soul Harvest Stat: at the end of the wave, there is now a texts that pop ups and tell how many souls were gained or lost via the Soul Harvest Stat[/p]
• [p]Melee Weapons: rework all systems and the procedural animation logic to massively improve the game feel of sweeping weapons like Axes, Pickaxe and Golden Touch Hammer[/p]
• [p]Overboy Character is now unlocked after unlocking 30 characters (previously it required unlocking all other characters first)[/p]
• [p]Laser Eye: is now affected by Orbit Speed Stat[/p]
• [p]Nihil Character: added Laser Eye as a Start Attack[/p]
• [p]Air Synergy: (2) +10% Speed (even if for now this is a brand new family with only 1 upgradable attack, this synergy effect can still be obtained using different combination of effects, example: pandark character that obtains max synergy levels)[/p]
• [p]Wizard Synergy: (3) +1 Arcane Damage => +2[/p]
• [p]Cloud Attack: can’t knockback enemies anymore: this actually makes this attack more powerful because due to its specific pattern, it had a tendency to knockback enemies towards the player with a high frequency (damages were triggered super often)[/p]
• [p]Pickaxe Attack: Destroyed after 3 Waves => Destroyed after 4 waves[/p]
• [p]Heroic Noobs now drop more golden souls and regular souls[/p]
• [p]Steamdeck-specific tweaks and improvements[/p]
• [p]Bugfix: Wraithshot could bug when triggered while no enemies were alive[/p]
• [p]Little minor fixes[/p]
• [p]Lots of other minor enhancements and balancing changes[/p]

[p][/p][p]Enjoy![/p]

[p]Early Access - Update 7.0 - New Attack + Enhancements (1 August 2025)[/p]

• [p]New Attack: Spike Wall Skil: At the start of the wave, you can trace a line of Spikes in your Dungeon Room by moving, based on your Duration stat (Upgradable, Skill, Trap, Spike tags, scales with Dexterity Damage, this attack is unlocked by default)[/p]
• [p]New Button in Settings: Restore Progress: it automatically gives you all in-game achievements matching the Steam achievements you unlocked
  This shouldn’t be necessary to use as the save system is robust, but if you lose your save file for any reason at some point (like if you deleted it by mistake, or if you forgot to enable steam cloud and want to recover your progress on a different computer), now you can at least unlock everything you already unlocked before just by pressing a button.[/p][p][/p]
• [p]Singleplayer Shop: now display some shortcuts to select the “Go” Button (bottom-right)[/p]
• [p]Attack Slot is now displayed in Secondary Stats (it is now also clear that the maximum Attack Slot count a player can have is set to 16) [/p]

• [p]Bugfix: When the Room Size is reduced between 2 waves via an Item, players position is reset to make sure no player stays outside the arena (the previous solution that pushed players towards the center didn’t work in very specific edge cases)[/p]
• [p]Bugfix: Twitch Streamer Mode was accidentally broke in 0.6.x[/p]

[p]Early Access - Hotfix Update 7.2 (2 August 2025)[/p]

• [p]Bugfix: The recent enhancement that avoids Free Reroll gained from Items to be wasted when using the Free Reroll provided when buying the 4 items in the Shop accidentally gave an additional Free Reroll (cleaning the shop gave 2 rerolls instead of 1), it is now working as expected[/p]

[p]Early Access - Hotfix Update 7.3 (2 August 2025)[/p]

• [p]Minor spacing tweaks in some menu[/p]
• [p]Bugfix: The Steam Achievement (not the in-game achievement) was broken for "Killer of Demon Hunter" Character in update 7.0 due to a very specific edgecase after a minor change to a function, it means that people who unlocked that in-game achievement during the past few hours did unlock the in-game reward but not the Steam Achievement.[/p]

[p]Message from Overboy:

🌴 I’ll be on vacation for two weeks, until August 18

During that time, I won’t be able to provide as much support as I have since launch. If you need help or advices, please don’t hesitate to join the Discord.
