Gloomvex v0.7.0.x — The Augments Update
This update introduces the new Augment system, featuring 22 unique augments that can be chosen after defeating bosses. Augments allow you to shape your run in new ways by improving stats such as damage, attack speed, movement speed, max HP, XP gain, gold gain, pickup radius, and projectile pierce.
Active augments are now displayed directly in the HUD with dedicated icons, while Thorns damage and Bloodthirst healing appear in the damage numbers with distinct colors for clearer combat feedback.
The Compendium has also been expanded with a new Augments tab, documenting all 22 augments with full localization support in all 12 supported languages.
In addition, this update brings a broad visual polish pass to several parts of the game, including the Main Menu, Game Over screen, Options Menu, Pause Menu, Loading Screen, Achievement Screen, Upgrade Screen, and Compendium.
As always, thank you for playing Gloomvex and supporting the development of the game!
