Greetings D20 Fans!
We're excited to announce that Abalon Arena demo now supports local multiplayer (i.e. couch co-op and PvP) and Steam Remote Play for up to four players. Steam Remote Play allows you to play a Steam game with a friend (even if they don't own it) as if you were sitting together on the couch. The screen is shared and you're both able to use gamepads, mouse or keyboard to control the game together.
How it Works: Just click the "Add Guest" button in the game lobby to add additional local multiplayer guests. The hud and unit control will automatically switch over to the correct player when it's their turn.
v0.03.0 Release Notes
- New Feature Added support for four player local multiplayer.
- Steam Deck Verified Abalon Arena is now Steam Deck Verified.
- Fixed Bug where Metamorph was not carrying over status effects when transforming back into its native form.
- Balance: Reduced Metamorph’s life from 9 to 8.
- Balance: Rust, Melt, Cleansing Fire, Deconstruct and Purify can now dispel time travel status effects. When used this way, they do not trigger their other effects.
- Balance: Increased the healing of Preserver from 3 to 4.
- Fixed Bug where battle wouldn’t end if player died to poison at the beginning of their turn.
Coming Next
Abalon Arena's demo will remain live through the duration of next week for Steam's Remote Play Festival (which concludes on Monday, February 19th).
After the festival, we'll take a break to integrate other features (single player/coop campaign ladders, async multiplayer, etc.) and aim for more demo opportunities in the future before launch. Be sure to Wishlist and Follow our store page for these updates.
