Adventurers!
We are quickly approaching the launch of our free Dungeon Crawl Gauntlet update and the paid Into The Wild Character Pack! With these big additions just on the horizon, we wanted to take this opportunity to dig into some of the details of the upcoming characters, including the changes to Pathfinder that launch for free alongside the new mode, cosmetics, trait, and more!
You can wishlist Into The Wild now so you don’t miss out on fresh news or launch!
Dungeon Crawl returns from For The King as the upgraded Dungeon Crawl Gauntlet, featuring gameplay inspired by the original title’s more roguelike-focused mode, with additional features, enemies, bosses, and more, all in the style of For The King II!
We’ll have a breakdown of what’s new in Dungeon Crawl Gauntlet, and the free additions that are landing alongside it, such as the Forest Mystic Skin Cosmetic and Blunderbuss weapons in our next newspost early next month!

The Angler’s hook lodges itself into the Resistance, reeling in a hopeful future without chaos and the forces of evil that continue to plague the realm of Fahrul!
Bringing breakfast, lunch, and dinner to the battlefield, the Angler can provide more than just big damage in combat. Settling in by the water on the overworld will enable the Angler to cast their line out, fetching consumable Fish to later use in combat or during rest phases.
But their reeling efficiency doesn’t end there! With their trusty fishing rod in hand, the Angler can use Hook to move enemies around the combat grid as a Secondary Action once triggered, perfectly paired with their Loadout weapon, the Harpoon, allowing for column-based Melee Attacks and targeted Magic Damage.
With a more relaxed outlook on life, The Angler can sometimes fall behind the party. But with their Sit Tight ability, they'll store movement between turns while Fishing so that once they’re done reeling in the catch of the day, they can easily catch their fellow Resistance members up with dinner in hand!
Abuzz with the winds of change, the Beekeeper finds their way into the hearts and minds of the Resistance, accompanied by their ever-faithful companion, Lil Honey.
A Vitality-based summoner that’s made for the front line, with enough build variety to see them fit perfectly into the support or tank roles your party might need.
Their loadout kicks off with the Honey Dipper and Swirling Comb, a deadly blunt weapon and shield combo that provides frontline Magic Damage and protection to the backline, perfect for keeping that sweet little hive building menace from the dangers of battle.
The Beekeeper’s companion, Lil Honey, will spawn patches of blossoming tiles to both the battlefield and overworld, providing Bliss, granting Regen and Purification to characters within its radius.
The Beekeeper’s keen sweet tooth also allows players to craft their own Candy! Mixing Herbs with the generous helpings of the Honey Taffy that Lil Honey stumbles upon during your adventures to improve the stats of whichever party member has the aptitude and craving for a delicious bonbon.
The Pathfinder gets an upgrade! Bringing a new skill and some general changes to help them keep up with their fellow Resistance members.
We’ve felt for some time now that Pathfinder could do with a bit of a buff, and with Dungeon Crawl Gauntlet’s launch, players can expect to see the improvements below added to the role.
+1 Range
Pathfinder now gains experience from locations discovered with Survey
Swamp/Midnight Woods move penalties no longer affect the Pathfinder.
Pathfinder rolls no longer affected by the weather.
Rally Banner is a consumable item exclusive to the Pathfinder. Starting each campaign with four of these in their inventory, the Pathfinder can use Rally Banner to pull the party to their location on the overworld.
Drops the Rally Banner at the location party is pulled to, providing +1 Movement, Ambush immunity, and Support Range to those in its radius.
We feel these improvements will help bring Pathfinder more in line with the other playable characters in-game, but we’ll be monitoring feedback as always to see how the community feels about these changes.
We'll also be looking to make changes of a similar capacity to the Shepherd, as we feel they're in a situation not too dissimilar to the Pathfinder currently. Expect more updates on that in the future!
If you're yet to jump into the realm of Fahrul, you can pick up the base game and both Character Packs at a reduced price on Steam!
