Rune Dice · published
Play longer runs which are more aligned with the traditional roguelike genre and progress through all three locations we have, adjusting your dice deck along the way.
To unlock Classic Mode, you must defeat 6 unique bosses! For players seeking an extra challenge, we added a Hardcore checkbox that significantly increases the difficulty too.
Note: Bone Clown boss is not available in Classic Mode.
Before starting a run, choose how many dice from your inventory will appear on the table. For example, if you have 20 dice in your inventory but play with a hand limit of 10, then 10 random dice from those 20 will appear on the table. This adds a tactical layer where you need to manage your deck more carefully.
Boss Icons on Maps: You can now see the icon of the boss you'll fight at the end of each act on both the map and minimap, in all game modes
Class Icons on Bosses: Location selection screen now shows the class icon on bosses that were defeated by that class
Improved Boss Visibility: Removed black silhouettes of bosses that the player hasn't seen yet from the location selection screen
Relic Upgrade System: Added stronger upgraded versions of relics. Upgraded relics can only be obtained from the shop or rewards if you already have the base version
Steam Cloud & Multi-Account Support: Reworked save system to check the player's Steam ID. Multiple Steam accounts can now play on the same PC
Save Backup System: Added save backups that don't sync with Steam Cloud, so you can restore your save if something goes wrong
