This playtest will last until April 13th. We hope you have a great time!

Major Changes:

General Changes and Improvements:

- Currency and material costs, such as seen on crafting recipes, now display /.
- Item tooltips now display attributes' composite value when inspected with , such as Weapon Damage displaying .
- Added new adjustable keybindings: weapon selection (1, 2, 3) and skill and elixir use (Q, E and V).

⚔️ OUR AUGUST PLAYTEST RESULTS! ⚔️🔮What did we test? Last April’s Playtest we mentioned that we would give some much needed care towards our backend systems, so we could not only add new content more effortlessly, but also help us expand the Tower’s dominion in the future. We spoke previously about one of them, but you experienced the other one a lot this time. Let us break this through. 😉 New matchmaking and multiplayer system…OUR PLAYTEST HAS ENDED!This shorter playtest was really valuable to us! We meant to put for testing not only our new matchmaking system (and oh boy, what a test for our nerves was that), but also our controller support! We also wanted to see how you perform with our new content and… how we need to fix them as well. 😅 We won’t take long to share our results for this playtest! But for now, here’s a snippet of what we’…PLAYTEST EXTENDED UNTIL AUGUST 31TH!Our servers collapsed too hard and too soon , so we thought it would be fair to give you guys a more time to play. 💕 But for those who already reached higher levels on our game, we have good news: THE LAIR OPEN ITS DOORS FOR THOSE WHO DARES TO FACE IT! For everyone who loves a challenge: go to the Lair and meet for yourselves the power of Mutators! Will you endure the Archmage’s powers? Thank…
