Version 1.2 is now available for download.
This update introduces the long-awaited Aspect system, a new mission type, a new altar, a fully reworked artifact ban system, and a long list of improvements and fixes.
The game now features a difficulty modifier system called Aspects.Aspects are divided into positive (Aspects of Arcanum) and negative (Aspects of Chaos).
All Aspects are locked by default and can be unlocked via Aspect Altars found randomly during runs.There are 20 Aspects in total.
Aspect of Swarm - More enemies.
Aspect of Haste - Enemies move faster.
Aspect of Cataclysm - Location events appear on every planet.
Aspect of Bargain - No prisms gained from enemy kills.
Other sources yield significantly more prisms.
Aspect of Hazard - Environmental and trap damage increased.
Aspect of Change - After each planet, all artifacts in your inventory are replaced with random ones.
Aspect of Nobility - All Sirens are elite.
Aspect of Golden Shield - Enemies gain the “Immune” effect after each landed hit on the Gatekeeper.
Aspect of Pressure - After spending 6 minutes on a location, Souls begin attacking the Gatekeepers.
Aspect of Choice - Obelisks offer only one artifact to choose from.
Aspect of Isolation - Co-op only: the Gatekeeper takes periodic damage when far from allies.
Aspect of Blame - Co-op only: when an ally dies, all living Gatekeepers lose 50% of their current health.
Aspect of Phoenix - Second life (once per run).
Aspect of Shell - The Gatekeeper cannot lose more than 50% of health from a single hit.
Aspect of Feast - Healing orbs periodically spawn near you.
Aspect of Pace - You move faster. Task completion time is reduced.
Aspect of Bounty - Two Obelisks of Catharsis appear after defeating a Siren.
Aspect of Deal - Two free rerolls at any Obelisk or Forge.
Aspect of Concord - Co-op only: cooldowns are reduced when near allies.
Aspect of Accord - Co-op only: collide with an ally to transfer part of the healthier Gatekeeper’s health to the wounded one.
Aspects affect Omni Stone drops during a run.
Negative Aspects increase Omni gain, while positive ones reduce it.
A new mission type.Activating the Mechanism spawns Gear Crates across the location. Gatekeepers must collect all Gears and deliver them to the Mechanism.Each Gear applies a debuff while in your inventory, making the task progressively harder.
Debuffs can reduce regeneration, movement speed, attack speed, and more.
A new altar type that can appear during a run.Activating it summons a neutral mob - Fugitive.
He runs from the altar toward his Hideout somewhere on the map.For every 10% of Fugitive’s lost health, Gatekeepers receive prisms.
Upon death, Fugitive drops a random artifact from the Modifier category.Sounds simple. It isn’t.
The artifact ban system has been completely redesigned.Previously, players had only 10 ban slots for the entire artifact pool.
Now there are up to 40 ban slots, divided across artifact categories:
Up to 15 Modifiers
Up to 10 Structure Changes
Up to 5 Amulets
Up to 5 Runes of Creation
Up to 5 Cursed Signatures
New ban slots unlock alongside new artifact unlocks in the Emporium.Most importantly, banning and unbanning artifacts is now completely free.
Experiment with your builds as much as you like.
The Players tab in the pause menu is now available in solo. It shows extended run info and active Aspects.
Added a Create All button in the Forge to craft the maximum available number of artifacts.
Basic enemies now die after falling off a location.
Adjusted prism regression formula at the Merchant’s Altar. Consecutive Omni-to-prisms exchanges now grant slightly more prisms than before.
While spectating after death, you can now see teammates’ current skill cooldowns and inventory.
Server browser now displays ping.
Added a small bridge on Altar of the Awakened leading to the Catalyst artifact island.
Fixed an issue where Gatekeeper animations could get stuck under certain conditions, preventing skill usage.
Fixed incorrect display of players who left the run in final statistics.
Fixed tombstones of fallen teammates not always appearing on the minimap.
Fixed Spectra Aegis not self-destructing under specific conditions.
Fixed Forge artifact becoming identical across stages after loading a save.
Fixed Immortal getting stuck in spawn animation.
Fixed rare cases where menu buttons stopped working after returning to the main menu.
And many other minor fixes.
We continue to work on improving Gatekeeper and greatly appreciate your feedback.
