All eventsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Thank you to everyone who played the demo. Based on your feedback, we've polished the demo ahead of Next Fest.

🆕 What's New

  • First-time onboarding guide — new players can pick up the core loop right away

  • Sequential stage unlocks in the lobby — stages now open up in order as you clear them

  • Wishlist button — add to your wishlist directly from the title, lobby, and results screens

  • In-game feedback survey — a new button to share your thoughts without leaving the game

  • Live language switching — change the language in settings and in-game text updates instantly

🐞 Bug Fixes

  • Fixed stuck key inputs — movement keys no longer lock up after Shift, IME toggles, or alt-tabbing

⚖️ Balance

  • Gentler early difficulty — fewer enemies during the opening of Stages 1-1 and 1-2 for a smoother start

  • Valor (Fever) tuning — slightly stricter to trigger, making each big-battle payoff feel more rewarding

✨ Effects & Game Feel

  • Enemy hit reactions added — light knockback on basic attacks, big knockback and squash on skills

  • Toned-down mass-kill effects — screen shake and flashes cut in half to reduce eye strain

  • Improved bond skill effects

  • Better CJK font readability (rounded gothic typeface)

🎨 UI Visual Polish

  • Deck (Training Ground) popup — new visuals

  • Collection (Forge) popup — new visuals

  • Stele (Altar) upgrade popup — new visuals

  • Stage 1-2 atmosphere improvements
