Hi there!

This is a big one! New update for the Lost For Swords demo, including new and improved bosses and lots of playable cards. Rogue Disarm is now a viable strategy, for example!

Here are the details:

  • reworked bosses: instead of a regular 3-room floor, bosses appear on special single-room floors. Players must defeat the boss in three phases
  • Trinkets are now equipped in mezzanines too, offering more interactions and possibilities for the future
  • mezzanine rooms with Merchants now appear in addition to other mezzanine rooms, not instead of them
  • Merchant rooms have Herotrap
  • new NPC - Trader: trade away your cards in exchange for random new ones; appears in prison mezzanine
  • Mirage creates Illusory Walls in 4-neighbor spots (instead of 8-neighbor)
  • Monster attacks can become negative (will deal 0 damage while negative)
  • cards at vendors and in Mezzanine are properly sorted
  • reduced healing of Ring Of Health from 3 to 2
  • improved Solomon’s Hammer
  • reworked Forged By Flames
  • removed Thick Skin from Rogue
  • renamed Curses to Afflictions
  • allow Monsters to walk off the map when their telegraphed movement says so
  • Potions replace Priest and Healer in prison mezzanine
  • hide yet-to-be-discovered cards in card library
  • different floor tiles for different towers and training cellar
  • improved animations when interacting with NPCs
  • improved emerald spending animations and sounds
  • enable previewing upgrades when inspecting a card
  • cards wiggle just a tiny bit when hovering and when activating
  • improved wording regarding “board” and “room”
  • bugfix: 2 or more unidentified loot in the same room now offer different rewards each

New Cards:

  • Hammer And Anvil
  • Samson’s Sword
  • Fencing Rapier
  • Jester’s Bottoms
  • -Shadow Presence
  • Vicarious Shame
  • Augustin’s Charm
  • Sword Trader’s Ring
