Optimization Update

Visual Souls and Sinners


Thank you for all the feedback on performance. We know Souls and Sinners can take up a significant amount of load during gameplay, and we want to make your experience smoother.With this update, the number of Souls and Sinners you see on the map now scales with your graphic settings. This change is purely visual and does not affect the actual Souls or Sinners you receive at the end of a stage or at the end of the game.
