Our programmers have been tirelessly grinding away to fix some more issues, including some fixes for major issues that have been haunting the game since Update 9. Playing in Endless Mode will now go much smoother!

[h3]⚙️STABILITY & BUGFIXES⚙️[/h3]
🤝Fixed an issue where enemies would stop moving.
🤝Did some major performance improvements, reducing some late-run frame drops when there are a lot of enemies on screen.

🤝 = changes inspired by community feedback

As always, thanks for sharing your concerns! We admit that Update 10 was a bit rougher than usual, hence this third patch. That being said, we’re still constantly working on the game and are very excited for the future updates!

See you at Update 11!

BOLT BLASTER OUT

[h3]✨NEW✨[/h3]
🦇A new Augmentation for the Talon Slash: You cast an additional Talon in the opposite direction.

[h3]🕹️GAMEPLAY IMPROVEMENTS🕹️[/h3]
🤝Updated the Talon Slash Augmentation to: increased Damage by 20% and Size by 75% when standing still.
🤝Fixed an issue where enemies would spawn/despawn on screen if the player is a ghost.

[h3]🎨VISUAL IMPROVEMENTS🎨[/h3]
🤝Updated the title style for Upgrades in the Level Up Menu to improve readability.

[h3]⚙️STABILITY & BUGFIXES⚙️[/h3]
🤝Removed a yet to be released character from the stained glass in the Lobby (you saw nothing 🤫).

[h3]🌎LOCALIZATION🌏[/h3]
🤝Improved general localization.

🤝 = changes inspired by community feedback

Thanks for all your feedback! This patch contains some urgent tweaks & fixes. Other improvements and fixes are still being worked on, but they will be released at a later time.

Brace yourselves, Update 10 has arrived! We've been hard at work on the game, trying to incorporate as much of your feedback as possible every step of the way. Therefore, we have been busy developing features for both this update and future updates. Nevertheless, this update has a lot of improvements, some reworks, and some new stuff as well. Catch the highlights below, or scroll down for the patch notes!

[h3]🪽 New Revive System 🪽[/h3]

We’ve reworked the Revive System for multiplayer, so you’ll never sit on the sidelines again! Now, if you die, you become a ghost! As a ghost, you can wander around the map and still collect XP orbs to help your team level up. We’ve also improved much of the feedback so players will be quicker to respond to teammates in need of assistance.

[h3]📊 New & Improved Stat Menus 📊[/h3]

This has been one of our most requested features, so we’re excited to share our new Stat Menus! Aside from your Player Stats, you can now also access the stats of each of your Spells, as well as view the Relics you collected. You can now also access your performance (kills, objectives, etc.) during the current mission at any time.

[h3]🦇 New Wizard 🦇[/h3]

The Spell Brigade’s most recent addition to the roster is quite an ominous fellow. Balthazar stalks the mission fields with his melee-focused Talon Slash. He also specializes in Lifesteal and has the unique ability to revive teammates from beyond the grave.

[h3]🤔 What’s Next? 🤔[/h3]
As you know, we put a lot of effort into staying up-to-date on player feedback so we can always deliver on what our players want the most. That being said, being the small team that we are, some of this content, like new Worlds or Bosses, takes a long time to design, implement, and iterate on.

Needless to say, trying to find the right balance between short and long-term development has proved a bit of a challenge. Because we DO want to keep giving you new stuff to check out regularly, and some of these things just take longer than a month to get right.

So if you’re wondering where the promised new world and bosses are, there’s your answer. We’re working on them. Wizards and Spells are just easier to add within shorter releases. But do not worry, they are coming soon! To summarize, here’s a quick rundown of the bigger things we’re currently working on:

☠️ a new Boss
🌎 a new World
👻 new Enemies
🎯 new Objectives
🌐 Matchmaking improvements
🤝 Many more community requested improvements

That’s all for now! Check out the patch notes for Update 10 below:
