• better targeting for ranged attacks;
  
• an enhanced minimap;
  
• additional lore references;
  
• randomized elements, such as monster encounters and dungeons.

[h2]🏆 Winners of Our Playtest Keys Giveaway Share Their Impressions![/h2]

Thanks to everyone who participated in our latest playtest! We’ve been poring over your feedback, and here's a snippet of one detailed first impression from one of our testers:

The characters were very easy to pick and play. When playing, I noticed that the game is bright and just flashy enough to know what's happening on screen. I understood the mechanics very easily, both the skills and combos of all the characters. (...) I really want to see the skill trees so I can invest more into Ezren's fire skills.

I’ve enjoyed my time with the game and look forward to future developments!
