On Thursday, May 9, we're launching the Randomizer Update for Death of a Wish, which, as the name implies, will add a new randomized game mode option that allows players to experience the game like never before. Come join lead developer Colin Horgan and explore this new mode together.



Did you beat Death of a Wish and find yourself still hungry for more? The Randomizer Update is for you! This mode allows players looking for an extra challenge, or those who just want another taste of Death of a Wish, to replay the entire game with randomized enemy and item placements, including randomized starting equipment.



Take on the game in brand new ways by mastering different combat styles and managing unpredictable encounters thanks to new item and weapon placements. Nothing will be the same as your first time through, so it's almost like trying the game from scratch!



For those who want to crank the difficulty up even more, this update also includes a "True Randomizer" mode that makes it possible for players to encounter mini-bosses and regular bosses as regular enemies in the world.
