Hi Adventurers,

This hotfix brings polish and balance to the recently added features. This includes adding new treasure rooms and mining ores to the recently added the Firedeep levels. We’ve also made numerous adjustments to the economy, making rare items more valuable. We’ve tuned the balance for the game rules including the amount of AP earned for kills and going down a floor. We’ve also made further adjustments to the Dark Swarm phases in the Squire Royale mode. This update also brings the seductive Succubus race to the game including matching exquisite weapon skins. Thank you and see you in the dungeons!IRONMACE
