Update 1.36
The new massive update significantly overhauls the entire pet development system in Pocket Rogues. Now each improvement will be much more meaningful, and each of your pets will be much more unique and customizable.
In addition, in update 1.36 improved multiplayer (yes, it's still in Beta): now you can play with three players, and you can create rooms in two more locations!
[h2]CHANGELOG:[/h2]
[GAMEPLAY]
- Each pet, in addition to the standard ability, now has 4 slots for additional ones (such as Immortality or Vampirism), which can be freely combined. New slots will become available after leveling up the pet, and new abilities can be obtained by defeating monster champions and mini-bosses in dungeons
- All pet abilities have 3 levels and can be improved with skill points and gems
- Unlocking unique perks, such as new Obsidian Tower mods or item blueprints, are now displayed on the summary screen
- Pets and mercenaries (but not summoned creatures) can now be set to one of five behaviors: normal, defensive, aggressive, hold current position, and ignore enemies. The type of behavior affects the movement speed of the creature and the radius in which it notices enemies
- Barrels and troughs with water can now be used to restore some of the HP (the water from the trough has a chance to poison the character)
- Minimap size can now be customized
[GENERATION]
- Added new Ambush

- Drawings of some items disappeared when transferring the save to a new device
- Multiple passive items could sometimes be stacked in one inventory slot
- When choosing a second item in the Forge, items that were not suitable for combining were not darkened
- When upgrading items with standard effects in the Forge, the total number of free sockets for effects could be less than it should be
