Preface


Greetings dear players, we are preparing for you a very big update that will significantly improve and diversify the gameplay. We are working very hard every day working on every little detail, so you will be pleasantly surprised, and play with maximum pleasure. Most of the content is ready, left to finalize a small part and check everything good! We expect to release the biggest game update on June 1st!

Items


New types of equipment are now available for players to diversify the gameplay, and make your game builds more flexible for the tasks you set.

You can watch the full video on youtube!

What are items in the context of the game?


Items given by the gods to help the hero, they give additional characteristics to the character, which should facilitate and diversify the gameplay for the player. Each item has a part of the soul, which is why they have power.

What types of items are available to the player?


Each type of item is divided into subclasses, which, in turn, are divided into 4 types of rarity: common, rare, epic, and legendary.

Body - Jacket, robe, cuirass
Feet - High boots, Armor Boots, Boots
Hands - Bracelets, Gloves, Gauntlets
Head - Hat, Mask, Helmet
Rings
Backpack
Neck - Necklace, Scarf, Bevor

How do I get new items in the game?


Each time you pass the chapter you can meet mini-bosses when you kill them can drop an item of any uniqueness. With increasing difficulty levels, or changing chapters the chance of falling out of unique items increases.
Also in the future we will add unique quests and dailies that can also be rewarded with items.

What items can be used to perform specific tasks in the game?


Each item gives unique characteristics or increases existing ones, e.g. boots add movement speed, gloves add attack speed, cuirass adds armor, etc.
Also, there is a backpack, an item that helps to take with you to the level of additional items that you can dress up depending on the situation in the game. Let's say you want to get more experience or resources, just change the items from the backpack, which adds a particular characteristic. This will help you diversify the gameplay, or get more souls or resources, depending on your current need.

What items can be used in combination with others to create new features in the game?


You will be able to combine items, weapons, orbs, and characters to enhance the strengths of your equipment, or to compensate for weaknesses. You'll also be able to customize your build for certain needs, gathering resources, collecting souls, passing chapters, etc.

Heroes

Our team decided to liven up the gameplay a little, and the guild now displays your heroes. When you get a new hero, he comes to your guild, and lives next to you, at any time you can walk up to the hero and start playing as him.

Character selection in the guild

Renaming a character in the guild


You can watch the full video on youtube!

What are heroes in the game?


Heroes are copies of your character that have developed in other worlds, each of them has developed separately from the main character, thanks to which each of them received their unique abilities, looks and so on. Heroes live their lives and go about their business, but at any time you can choose a hero from the list of those that fell to you.

What types of heroes are available to players?


There are 9 classes of heroes in the game (Necromancer, Mage, Frost Mage, Ranger, Warrior, Demon Knight, Cleric, Archer, Infantryman) divided by rarity (normal, rare, epic) each hero has his own strengths and weaknesses.

How do I get new heroes in the game?


Heroes are dropped from chests, chests with heroes can be obtained by completing chapters, Challenges, Daily and Achievement.

What heroes can be used to customize a character's appearance?


Most heroes not only have unique traits, but also unique looks and you can customize the appearance of a character to suit your tastes.

How can heroes help accomplish specific tasks in the game?


You will be able to combine items, weapons, orbs and heroes to strengthen their strengths, or to compensate for their weaknesses. You'll also be able to adjust your build for specific needs, gathering resources, collecting souls, passing chapters, etc.

Redesign


Due to a significant expansion of the game mechanics, and new features,our current interface is significantly outdated.Our team decided to update and refresh the interface of the game.

We made the game interface more convenient and intuitive, fully adapted for controllers, and redesigned the visual component of the interface, (inventory, pause, dialog boxes, the portal with the characters, opening the chests, and much more.) to play was not only convenient, but also beautiful.

Also we are preparing different nice little things such as:

  • Character renaming - now you'll be able to rename any character from the list of those that you already have.
  • Correcting and optimizing the gameplay.
  • Full adaptation and support for controllers.

Dear players, we always listen to your suggestions, we would like to hear your opinions and recommendations, write in comments below this post what you would like to see or change in the game, we will read every comment and maybe part or all of it will go into the upcoming big update! So looking forward to your comments!
