The holidays come early for the wizards exploring Below the Crown. Here's a quick video describing some of the new features:

This is our first major update since Early Access, so we're excited to hear what you think. We've got a ways to go before 1.0 so feedback is appreciated via the in-game bug/feedback button, on the Steam forums, or in the Discord - keep in mind they'll likely be some bugs. We also have a FUTURE beta branch for those always looking to help us test the latest features!

Here's a more detailed list that includes the bigger changes since our Early Access launch:

v1.84

  • 2 more runes opened up

  • Rook Wizard unblocked

  • Mad Queen piece

  • Teleport Spell

  • Explosive Upgrade

  • Protect Upgrade

  • Medic Skill

  • Spell Junky Skill

  • Changed Bishop Wizard to start with Teleport Spell, Rook Wizard to start with Return Spell

  • Escape Rooms: Spawn embers/lava sooner, Board Gold reward Increased

  • Fixed bug report

  • Knight King nerf: Act 1 version no longer spawns slimes over time.

  • SFX Volume update

  • Daily Challenges were inconsistent if statues were present

  • Replay file was duplicating turns

  • Warning for users on Steam Deck/Linux (letting them know not "officially" supported yet)

  • New error dialog if we detect certain AI issues

  • Linux/Steam Deck memory leak improvement, but not totally gone :( - Note that we still don't "support" Linux, but this takes a step toward it

  • AI updates: hopefully fixes some odd checkmate issues - please report any funny business!

  • Make choosing a Champion less confusing

  • Training ground notification Icon when a new category is unlocked

  • Demoting a piece could get you locked pieces (pieces which then have bugs we haven't fixed...)

  • A hidden animation in plain site

  • Lot's of AI & Replay bug fixes

  • Misc Bug Fixes (snoooooze)

Thanks so much for all the support, Happy Holidays!
