KOTCL Dev Diaries - Rebalance

Knock on the Coffin Lid · published 14 Nov 2025, 14:02 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Knock, knock! It happened!

So, we’ve done it.

The build with the final rebalance is ready. This is the moment where fanfare should probably play, because this event is very important for us.

Version: R_1.3.14.1. Uploaded to Steam only, for both Mac and Windows.

Branch: public_beta

Password: no password

Welcome aboard.

I remind you that only Persival has been subjected to a complete rebalance.

The other characters won’t take as much time because we only need to rework their starting and class items, as well as class perks. We’ll definitely do that if your reaction to the new balance is strictly positive.

Alright, down to business.

What’s Changed

- the behaviour of enemies

- general items/ set items/ Persival’s items- general cards/ Persival’s cards- Persival’s class perks- economy

Economy?

Economy now has a global concept and meaning. Gold now has a high value. It will be hard to collect 5k gold by the end of a run, unlike before. Item prices depend on their type and rarity.

What Has Not Changed (but is planned to change)

- rewards in events

- allies and their behaviour- other heroes and their items/cards- other modes

Simply put, a renewed story mode for Persival is at your full disposal. 

Rewards for ascensions and glossary cards (the ones you get after killing an enemy a bunch of times) are blocked. It’s all pure Persival, no meta-progression.

What’s Important

Feedback—the amount and contents of it will inform our decision on whether we should rebalance the other characters and modes in the same vein.

Detailed feedback and mini-reviews are warmly welcomed.

Tell us everything you think about the final balance — and about us.

Community26 Jun 2026A bundle with DecktamerOld familiar chthonic weirdness On the occasion of the sale, we’ve decided to relaunch our bundle with Decktamer. We all love deckbuilders, roguelikes, and awesome artwork, right? Decktamer is still a very original project with crazy — in a good, wild way — art. And they have a great demo you can try out yourself, without relying on someone else’s opinion.

Today we’re finishing our journey across Midian, and not in any old blind alley, but in the majestic Sunny City, the capital of the elves. Calling it the capital of the elven state would me a misnomer, as the Sunny City is the elven state. (Naturally, you’ll ask: what is the Frontier, then? And I’ll make sure to talk about it later.)

While I’ve been keeping the diaries going, we’ve covered quite a distance across the expanses of Midian—traveling not only through space, but through time as well. Today we’ll have sort of a compilation of that journey. For some reason,I feel like looking back on it. Journey Through Time First we ran through the chronology of Midian, starting from the creation of the wo…
