Hello, everyone!

The first huge update is finally here! This includes 8 new roguelike characters, 2 roguelike missions, new boss(please check who it is!) and new achievements are waiting for you! There are a lot of improvements as well.

Here's a peek at the next update:

8 NEW ROGUELIKE CHARACTERS


◾Card Master gains a card every 10 turns. The character's the best, except for the character's unusual fashion sense and love of 'duel'.


◾Thief has insanely fast attacks and uses no swaps when swapping places. The character also steals minerals when he attacks, so the character can help you unlock other content!


◾Dictator grows based on the sacrifices of the commoners. In the puzzle, if there are farmers and blacksmiths next to this character, the character will absorb them and level up.


◾Berserker is a character whose HP and damage increases more and more each time getting hit, always hungry for battle.


◾Explorer reduces the enemy's HP by 15% after recon, and restores HP of all allies in proportion to the number of recon. It's an open secret that his motto is 'Only hard research leads to success'.


◾Prophet will automatically cast preview for free. As the number of previews you have increases, Prophet's health and attack power also increase.


◾Puppy barks loudly at enemies! This is a great addition to the battle, as many enemies will stiffen after hearing his bark. By the way, this guy is nice and doesn't bite, so don't be scared.


◾Elf Archer always aim for one spot. Don't be mistaken if the monster looks like a hedgehog. Those are arrows shot by Elf Archer.

2 NEW ROUGELIKE MISSIONS
◾Night of Battle: Defeat the lich castle with only one chance to assemble units.
◾Mineral Mine: This mode provides a lot of minerals after every battle. Assemble the best units to mine minerals!

We just started to working on 3 new characters and 2 roguelike modes for the next update! If you have some thing to tell us, please feel free let us know here in the Steam forum, and also here:

Thank you for playing!
