FORCED SHOWDOWN - Deluxe Edition Content · published

Hey everyone,

We did a quick little patch this time to fix some of the issues people reported from the Monday release.
Most importantly we fixed the black screen issue for AMD cards and did a bunch of optimization.

Features

  • Cards unlocked: Last Stand, Solace in power, Brofist Blink
  • Optimization pass: Plenty of behind the scenes things are running more efficient through an engine update, memory reductions and a lot of tweaks
  • 8 new boss card illustrations: Ice Chunks, Unstable Stone, Full Auto Sniper, Petulant Pebbles, Avalanche, Crawling Mines, Mix in Some Medicine, Polytheism

Balance

  • Masochistic Blade self damage reduced from 2 to 1.
  • Pain Sword modifier can no longer occur in the easiest battles.
  • Pain Sword modifier rated more difficult (in balancing battle difficulty for modifiers).
  • Short Battles modifier can no longer occur in the easiest battles.
  • Short Battles modifier rated more difficult.
  • Campaign rewards are now based on difficulty including the Modifier
  • All Boss attacks now have friendly fire

Quality of life

  • Denver now indicates when he has spotted something to charge. It should now be easier to move out of the way when that 'something' is you.
  • The button for exiting a deck is renamed from 'Undo' to 'Cancel'.
  • Changed the wording on the defeat screen from “You got killed…” to “You were killed…”
  • Your companion now idles next to you when trying to stay close
