Free Post-Launch Update — The Arena Burns Again!

Chains on Sand · published 7 Nov 2025, 23:16 UTC · build 20717295

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hi everyone — this is a free thank-you update for all who supported Chains on Sand after release.

Fixes

  • Broken opponent weapons are now properly removed.

  • Enemies who throw their weapons will no longer lose their main one.

  • Automatic healing between battles now works as intended.

  • Off-hand weapons and shields now keep their correct size after dismemberments.

New Content

  • Szaar, the Lizardman champion, enters the arena.

  • PyreCleaver, his fiery halberd that burns through armor, can now be faced — and claimed.

  • New achievement: Defeat Szaar.

For the next week we’ll focus on polishing any issues that arise and then review a new scoring formula for leaderboards.
The current one will stay saved forever as the First Arena Leaderboard — our initial era of champions.

If you enjoy the update, please consider leaving a Steam review — even a short one helps a lot.
Thank you for every duel, every message, and every bit of support.
— ThVaz
