The Claws & Chaos demo has been updated again, and we have a real nest-full of changes. We’ve been reading your feedback, watching your streams, and taking tons of notes on what needs changing, improving, and balancing.
Let’s talk about some of the bigger System Updates first:
- Combat Grid - During the deployment phase, the battlefield now includes a grid that will improve consistency, clarity, and make placements on the field more discrete and tactical.
- Player Profile System - You can now see some of your statistics, with more to come. You can also customize your profile images, and see other players’ profiles from the Leaderboard.
- Unit List Overhaul - The list of units has been updated to use the book UI.
- Targeting improved so melee units don’t walk around the edges of the arena as often.
Oh, and we’ve added 11 New Units to fight your battles with, while rotating out 5 of the old ones. This is a test for balance and finding the right amount of heroes in the Arena rotation! Feedback is welcome.
