QA Playtest — New Dungeons and Starting-Level Fix

DIE as HEROES Playtest · published 22 Sep 2026, 04:01 UTC · build 25451444

All news Players around this date Read on Steam

Two adventures are available for four level 3 heroes:

The Ember Reliquary: Explore an undead crypt, survive its defenders and traps, and recover Saint Ilyra’s Ember.
The Blackthorn Warrens: Fight through goblin and orc territory and rescue Elswyth Vale.

Both campaigns are now version 1.0.3.

Character creation now uses the campaign’s required starting level, including for players joining a multiplayer host. Level 3 characters receive their advancement choices during creation.

Before testing: Update Steam Playtest and confirm everyone’s title screen shows 25451444. Start a new campaign run using version 1.0.3, then create your heroes. Existing saves retain their previous characters.

Please focus feedback on: controller responsiveness, movement allowance, combat pacing, traps, multiplayer synchronization, travel between locations, and mission completion. Defeating the final enemies should still require claiming the treasure or rescuing the captive to finish.

Include the build number, campaign, location, and steps to reproduce with each report.
