With this update, new Secrets have been added as modes that will unlock when meeting specific requirements adding twists and turns as well as challenges to how you may approach the depths of Gallowspire.

Additionally, this update will serve as a major quality of life update bringing improvement through many of the features previously present which should give a bit more breathing room to both new and returning players alike.

• Activating a Secret as part of your adventure can reward the player with additional XP or gold - sometimes both!

[h2]Quests[/h2]
A massive change has been made to the quest reward system. When claiming your completed chest rewards, everything earned will now be allocated to all heroes - including the one that did not join on the last adventure!

Redeeming quests will give the displayed rewards (XP, attribute points and talent points) to each of the 3 characters. Since gold is not character based, the rewards behavior does not change.

In partnership with Paizo, Pathfinder: Gallowspire Survivors from BKOM Studios launches on Steam today. The roguelite bullet hell survivor invites brave heroes to experience the renowned world of Pathfinder like never before. Whether solo or with a friend, the whispering tyrant Tar-Baphon awaits all who dare enter the depths of Gallowspire.

Pathfinder: Gallowspire Survivors celebrates the official 1.0 launch with a host of highly requested features from the community, as well as UI improvements, overall gameplay balancing, and Steam Deck compatibility. Players may now brave the depths of Gallowspire with a friend in both local co-op and Steam Remote Play. Escape incoming damage in a blink of an eye with the all-new dash mechanic, and gain run-deciding buffs with a strategic sip from the potion belt. With the addition of dedicated chapters, faster character progression, hyper mode, and new Pathfinder collectible cards with official artworks that provide permanent upgrades, every attempt towards sealing away the disgraced lich-emperor brings great reward.

Within the depths of Gallowspire lies the disgraced mythic lich Tar-Baphon, one of Pathfinder’s most ancient and powerful villains. While sealed away beneath his ancient seat of power, he has been deftly plotting his grand return. As the magic that contains him begins to fail, three fearless heroes will rise to the occasion, tasked with venturing into Gallowspire's depths to defeat Tar-Baphon and repair the wards that seal him away.

Step into the role as one of three daring heroes and battle through the horrors of Gallowspire. The Fighter, Wizard, or Rogue all come with their own strengths and talents that will aid them in their efforts against Tar-Baphon. Choose an ally to fight alongside you as you slay hordes of Tar-Baphon’s undead minions, collect and upgrade your arsenal of spells and weapons, and extinguish Gallowspire’s callous bosses. There will be many failures throughout your journey, but aided by an ancient medallion, the heroes can escape death and grow stronger with each attempt.

The Whispering Tyrant beckons. Will you answer his call? Pathfinder: Gallowspire Survivors launches today on Steam for $4.19 USD including a 40% launch discount.
