| Major update | Demo Version 1.2 Update! Today, ahead of Next Fest, we’re unveiling a completely fresh way to slice through foes: the Bladedancer. Unlike the Steelhand, whose power grows through ever-bigger swords and axes, the Bladedancer thrives on agility and layered abilities—poisons, wounds, blinds, and deft dodges—to stay alive.
