New Week, New Beta: Achievements and Difficulty Modes
The most curious players can expect a huge update in the beta!
You’ve been asking for Steam achievements, and we’ve heard you loud and clear. Have fun unlocking the 20 new achievements, with more to come!
[h3] Added four difficulty modes.[/h3]
Note that the difficulty you choose is active until the end of the run and cannot be changed during the playthrough.
On Easy mode, the deck and cards gained via relics, consumables, or other cards are shuffled with each replay.
The player receives the Honey Agate relic at the start of the playthrough. It grants Strength x1 and Fortitude x1.
On Normal difficulty, you will not notice any changes from the current difficulty as they are identical.
On Hard mode, everything remains the same, but you can no longer replay battles. A defeat ends the run.
On Heroic (a.k.a. Roguelike) mode, you’ll have to complete the run in one go without replaying any battles or quitting to the main menu. If you quit the game, the run ends.
[h3]New Hero[/h3]

She can rely on the aid of her little helpers, the Nursemaids, or take any enemy on by herself — it all depends on how you decide to develop her abilities!Important!
To unlock Vasilisa, you need to play at least one battle as Varvara.
