major update

Below the Crown · published

Our last major update before launch! Here's a quick video describing some of the new features:

Hop on in: converse with the Emperor, save your replays, make things easier with new difficulty settings, and try the infinite dungeon! Feedback is always 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 December Update:

Default Branch: v1.91

  • Save/View Replays and a new Replay Room

  • New Emperor Narrative elements (when you return from runs - playing with a clean save file will give the full experience)

  • Infinite Dungeon Mode (we haven't really tested this much so beware!)

  • New difficulty settings to make things easier for players that need it

  • Escape Rooms overhaul (Key added, rebalanced)

  • So many new animations and artwork (stores, victory, etc.)

  • New Scoreboard & info window

  • New opening song (do you like it or prefer the old one?)

  • Store Screens Overhaul

  • Rebalanced Wizards

  • New Dungeon Boards

  • Piece movement tweaked (feedback on whether it looks right appreciated)

  • Knight King boss got new animation for Lightning ability

  • Gave Knight piece to Rook Wizard (feel strong enough?)

  • At Spell Store, see your empty Spell slots

  • Fog hazard visuals redone

  • All victory/loss dialog should now go down to the bottom of the screen, not blocking the Board

  • New Death animations

  • Game Over Animation

  • New Audio sound effects

Thanks so much for all the support, looking forward to launching in April!
