Blades, Bows & Magic Demo Update v0.96

Blades, Bows & Magic · published 15 Dec 2025, 04:12 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

The Blades, Bows & Magic Demo is updated to v0.96!

v0.96 Build Notes

Overhauled New Tutorial;

  • Created new dynamic tutorial system to help onboard new players and better explain rps rules and ability rules

  • Updated tutorial book to match

Card Unit Changes;

  • Changed General Hammersmith ability to always target the 'back line enemy slot', but only disable the ability of a Archer or Warrior to slightly reduce how overpowered it felt in multiplayer

  • Removed ability fail notifications for Legion Mage to avoid it triggering so often when it simply wasn't facing an Archer yet

  • Changed Elven Ranger to 'On Round Start' instead of 'Before Attack' to avoid weird timing issues versus Legion Mage and overall improve it's usage (like having an archer berserker rage now)

  • Changed Elven Conjuror to be able to change into anything to simplify card wording

  • Overhauled all card ability text descriptions to improve clarity

Misc Changes;

  • Improved basic AI to use preferred slot positions for certain cards (to avoid the AI putting cards in slots where they can't use their ability - 99% of the time)

  • Fixed card fight / ability activation glows to be more consistent and improve clarity of action

  • Added card class icon colored outlines for ability success (green) and fails (red) to better indicate ability activations

  • Reduced a lot of unnecessary delays and improved timings to speed up overall gameplay

  • Added singleplayer battle speed controller (Slow > Normal > Fast))

  • Network stability improvements

  • Misc tweaks and bug fixes
