Escape From Ruin — What Changed
March 18 — August 3
This was a rebuild, not a patch. Almost every part of the game is different now.
- There's a world map. You travel it, discover places, and biomes have their own music.
- Lairs are real dungeons. Rooms connect, have their own difficulty, backgrounds and music. 15 new ones.
- Quests actually work. New chains, a proper quest log, and 29 new Castle events.
- Combat feels good now. Speed control, hit pauses, a skip button, clear enemy intents, and card previews before you commit.
- You can talk or sneak instead of just fighting.
- Around 150 new encounters and a pile of new enemy attacks.
- New effects — Stun, Blind, Dodge and more.
- Every card's text was rewritten to be readable.
- There's a tutorial and a story mode.
- The UI was rebuilt and finally scales at any resolution.
- Shops, relics, merits and rewards all got passes.
- A lot of bugs are gone — the mid-combat freeze, getting stuck in rooms, block not decaying, saves wiping each other.
