Nordhold: Origins News

The relic selection screen for the "Artifact of Fate" (Market Meta Perk) has been expanded from one to six relics for users who previously had fewer than six relics, ensuring that the original experience of discovering new relics is preserved.

The highly anticipated Relic selection screen for "Artifact of Fate" (Market Meta Perk) is now available, offering a broad range of choices for your initial Relic.

Additionally, we've addressed several other commonly reported issues: the tutorial no longer experiences a soft lock, sound issues have been resolved, and the impact of Wave 14 has been gradually adjusted with fewer spawners, among other improvements.


Thank you once again for all the valuable feedback!

Version 0.5.6.1

Dear Community,

As some of you may have noticed, since our updates 0.5.5.1 and 0.5.5.2, branching paths in the game have been occurring more frequently and earlier than before. This introduced too much randomness to the map generation and inadvertently increased the difficulty for various playstyles due to premature branches. This was an unintended consequence of our efforts to further reduce the already low probability of a map evolving into a "spiral" scenario, which could prematurely end the game - an understandably frustrating outcome.

We've now implemented an alternative solution that allows continuing the game, even in the event of a potential spiral scenario. This adjustment ensures that map development proceeds more naturally.

Thank you for your feedback and continued support as we strive to enhance your gaming experience.
