Critadel News

Hello, everyone!

Good news: We have updated Critadel to fully support the Steam Deck™! Now you can play Critadel on the go, anywhere and anytime. With the Steam Deck controls, it plays just as you would play it with a controller on your PC.

Here are some of the key changes that were made to accommodate the Steam Deck hardware:

• Fixed the issue that caused the game to stutter when a player uses the volume buttons on Steam Deck
  
• Addressed the issue of text legibility by adding a Text Font Size Adjustment option (press the “hamburger” icon button on the Steam Deck -> select the “cog” icon -> adjust the bar next to “Language,” above “Confirm Button”)
  

Note: With this patch installed, the game will auto-detect when a controller is connected to your PC and force the game into “controller” mode. If you want to play with a keyboard and mouse, simply disconnect your controller.
We wish you all good luck as you progress through the tower, and good hunting!

Hello everyone,

We are happy to announce the release of the major Critadel update that we revealed last month!

As we mentioned in the previous post, this update will add features and fixes that can enhance your gameplay experience in general.

The new update adds the following features:
- Weapon slot configuration
- Key rebinding
- Item descriptions
- Weapon auto-swap
- Improved weapon list UI
- New weapon change hotkey for controllers (default: LT(L2)+RS)

We also implemented small balancings and fixes:
- Changed the color of the bubbles from the slime-like enemies to red for better visibility
- Increased the amount of experience points earned from Hard Mode (50% more than Normal Mode)
- Adjusted the trigger requirement of the third option for Ancient Storage Box (from "200 MAX HP decrease" to "100 MAX HP decrease")
- The disposer machine at Eve's shop will now dispense bigger crystals when you dispose of items ranked "A" or "S"
- Changed how players can move to the next room after defeating Longinus and Noah Fortress (players must now interact with the portal)
- Adjusted locations of light bulbs for some stages

That should be it for this update! We hope these changes will make Critadel even more fun to play for you!

Also, happy Lunar New Year to everyone! 2022 is the year of the tiger, according to the Chinese zodiac, so here's Nox celebrating the new year with a tiger!



Thank you all for your support. We'll be back again with some more information to share soon.

Hello everyone!

It's already been almost a month since we posted the last update. For today, we would like to share some sneak-peek on some of the upcoming Quality of Life updates. We are working hard to get these right!

Just so you know, these are still work-in-progress so the end result might look different.


Key Binding for keyboard and mouse

Keybinding for Controller

Item description for dropped items

Weapon slot order swap

Bug Fixes
- Fixed the 3 “Master Rank 1” achievements. If you already have characters that have reached Master Rank 1, you will be able to obtain it when you enter your save data with the characters.
- Fixed the bug that caused a crash when you get “Weapon Upgrade” prize from Petro while you have fully upgraded default weapon in your inventory.
- Now you can upgrade your default weapon at “Sanctum of Blessing” when you have “Gun Mode” skill equipped

Hello everyone!

It’s already been a month since Critadel was released. Thank you so much for all your support! We are sincerely happy to see everyone enjoying the game we worked so hard to create.

For the past few weeks, we’ve been pushing out patches for fixing bugs, re-balancing and quality-of-life improvements that needed our immediate attention. We'll keep an eye out for any additional bugs and fix them as soon as we can.

We are also working on bigger updates that will bring even greater QoL improvements based on your feedback, as well as a content update! Here's what we have planned so far:

New Upcoming Features:
- Weapon Slot Configuration: You won’t have to drop your weapons to change their slot order!
- Key Rebinding: New options for both keyboard/mouse and controllers
- Item Descriptions: Pop-ups to identify items on the ground
- Weapon Auto-Swap: When your current weapon’s durability becomes 0, your character will switch to another available weapon in the next slot
- Weapon List UI: The weapon scroll list UI on the right side of the screen will be transparent for better gameplay visibility.


New Contents:
- New Weapons / Attachments / Artifacts / Companions!
- Additional contents for Hard Mode

There are smaller improvements planned, too. We'll share more information about this update as we make more progress.



Thanks again for all your support and feedback! We will see you soon.
