Hey all!
When we released the Rogue Legacy 5-year anniversary patch many moons ago, we inadvertently HAMSHANKED peoples' ability to play Cedric "default0" Schneider's super awesome mod for the game, Lament of Zors. To fix that, you had to download the v1.2.0b branch and install the mod, and afterward you couldn't play the latest version of the original game.
We've made things easier, and added a selector so that you can switch between the original and the mod at any time! And don't worry, you won't lose your save files.
So if you've been hankering more Rogue Legacy, this mod is gonna give you hundreds of extra hours!
Without further ado,
