THE RETURN OF ULTIMATE RAMPAGE
[p]ULTIMATE RAMPAGE IS PLAYABLE NOW! EARN LEGENDARY CHESTS IN DUNGEONS THAT UPDATE EVERY WEEK! HOW FAR WILL YOU MAKE IT?[/p][p]![]()
[/p][p](Can you tell we’re excited?)[/p][p][/p][p]For those of you who don’t remember or never reached it back in the day, Ultimate Rampage is the most difficult challenge in all of Dungeon Rampage. A set of dungeons that ramp up in difficulty over time! Earn rewards for reaching higher floors, including Legendary Chests! But be warned, each dungeon has 4 Kill Switches, modifiers that make the dungeon even more challenging. You haven’t seen danger until you’ve seen enemies dropping bombs when they die.[/p][p][/p][p]Compete with your friends to get to the highest floor on our leaderboard! [/p][p][/p][p]Even better, the dungeons change! We give you one week to try your hand at the dungeon before bringing in new layouts, new Kill Switches, and resetting rewards for all the dungeons![/p][p][/p][h2]Balancing[/h2][h3]Our Goals for Ultimate Rampage[/h3][p]With Ultimate Rampage we want this to be a challenging mode for our end game Heroes. That being said, we also want Ultimate Rampage to offer some quality of life improvements.
[/p][p]Ultimate Rampage is the most interesting mode to replay, therefore we would also like it to be one of the best ways to grind gold in the late game. To make this accessible to both new Ultimate Rampage players and our veterans, we’ve increased the amount of gold dropped with an emphasis on the earlier floors of the dungeon.
[/p][p]By the time a player reaches Ultimate Rampage, we don’t want them to feel that they have to return to previous levels with their Hero in order to grind the necessary experience just to play Ultimate Rampage. To compensate for this, we’ve increased the amount of XP that drops, with the goal of making grinding those early floors feel more rewarding.
[/p][p]These numbers (and goals!) certainly aren’t final and we expect to be tweaking them in response to the needs of the community, so keep an eye out!
[/p][h3]The Future of Ultimate Rampage[/h3][p]When re-visiting the design values of Ultimate Rampage to balance the gamemode for 2026 standards, we saw that the problem wasn’t the gamemode, but the Heroes.
[/p][p]We feel that Ranger is in a healthy spot for her identity, with some small changes needed to be made. However, we saw that the Berserker, Sorcerer and Battle Chef aren’t necessarily performing. Not only because Ultimate Rampage is difficult (it is), but these Heroes already had some weak points in their kits that only get worse in Ultimate Rampage.
[/p][p]In the time shortly following this release we expect to be making changes to the cast of Heroes, fixing some weird quirks and making sure they’re ready for the challenge of both the core dungeons and Ultimate Rampage. Most importantly taking great care to keep the identity of the characters you know and love.
[/p][p]We are not planning big overhauls, just planning to give some attention and care that these Heroes have been needing for 9 years (BERSERKER & SORCERER MAINS REJOICE!!!) It's been a long time coming.
[/p][p]We already have some ideas for changes we want to make, but we would love to hear your thoughts, so make sure to make your voice heard on our ideas channel on Discord!
[/p][h3]Ultimate Rampage Stats for Nerds[/h3][p]Kill Switches [/p][p]Challenging modifiers that are applied at different floors to keep the challenge ramping up.
[/p][p]New Kill Switches are applied on the following floors: 4, 8, 12, and 16[/p][p]
Rewards[/p][p]Once per week, per Dungeon, per Hero, you can get chests as a reward for delving deep in Ultimate Rampage: On defeating Floor 3 you get a Small Item Box. On defeating Floor 7 you get a Royal Item Box, on defeating Floor 11 you get a Rare Chest, and if you manage to make it through Floor 15 you get a Legendary Chest![/p][p]
Want to show off your rampaging skills? Make it to floor 25 with a character and you get a new Trophy! Though the fun doesn’t end there. See how far you can make it and show off to your friends in the leaderboard.[/p][p][/p][h2]How is Development Going Overall?[/h2][p]Hey thanks for asking, glad you’re curious![/p][p][/p][p]We were not expecting, nor were we prepared for Rampagers to show up in force on launch day. We were blown away by the outpouring of support and love! We were then quickly blown away by the tens of thousands of messages and support tickets coming in on our Discord. Our dev team and incredible volunteer support team were firing on all cylinders for weeks to make sure major bugs were patched and individual players were having a smooth experience with the game.
[/p][p]Now that the initial tidal wave has subsided, we have our feet back under us and we’re ready to start tackling features, and Ultimate Rampage is where we started!
[/p][p]We’re still a small team, and getting Ultimate Rampage up and running was a huge undertaking but we’re hard at work and planning some really exciting things for the near future.[/p][h2]As Always Thank You![/h2][p]We couldn’t do it without you, we’re honored to be building this game alongside the people who love it most.
