Brave Wizards!
It's been quite an adventure for our team since the Early Access release roughly three months ago. We have slightly altered our initial plan of updates to introduce free locomotion that was requested by many of you.
Today, we're proud to roll out the first major update with new content we've promised to add during Early Access. We invite you to assail with endless hordes of enemies on two brand new battle arenas!
Arena Mode (formerly Arcade Mode) introduces two arenas, new hub, unique Fate Cards and progress system independent of the campaign. Each arena has it's own objective:
Mountainpass Castle (Point Defense)
You have to defend 3 crystals spread across the map with paths changing with each wave.
Crystal Caverns (Seek & Destroy)
Look for corrupted crystals and destroy them before there is too many.
What's next?
Our plan is to keep delivering content promised for the Early Access along with bug fixes and improvements suggested by you, dear players. In around four weeks we plan to roll out next major update introducing third Region (story chapter) to the game.
We want to thank you for all the feedback and amazing support we receive! We invite you to visit our Discord server and join the discussion. We also encourage you to write reviews to share your experience with fellow players on Steam.
