Patch v1.05

What's New?: Release Candidate (RC) v1.05 from v1.04

Major Game/Gameplay Changes

Steam saves are now being sorted by Steam user, rather than by computer. This allows for multiple Steam users to play Bowmen on the same machine, while keeping their game data separately stored. If this update causes issues with your game data, download it from the Steam cloud when prompted upon startup. We will also be offering support on the Steam forums to help recover your game data if you have issues with this update.
The level cap has been reduced to 60 (down from 100).
A Melee Slash ability has been added to the game, that allows you to finish off enemies quickly in front of you with a cone slash attack. The ability is unlocked after investing 8 stat points into Strength.
Enemy health, movement speed, and damage (with the exception of bosses) have been increased across all difficulties.
The health of the Infernal Balrog has been reduced across all difficulties.
The cooldown on the Multishot ability has been increased.
An additional shooting animation has been added to the Multishot ability to give it more flair.
The cooldown on the Fire Arrows ability has been reduced. In addition, the single target damage from the Fire Arrows has been increased.
The "terms of service" is no longer shown before creating a character, since it is now being handled through a Steam EULA (End-User License Agreement).
The time interval between spawns of the Skeleton Knight have been increased. They now only spawn once every 5 waves.
The damage of the Skeleton Mage's ranged attack has been increased.
There is now an animation that plays when you upgrade the Multishot ability or unlock the Melee Slash.
A notice about how Steam saves are handled has been added to the start screen.
Two new background music tracks have been added to the game for a little more variety.

Item Changes

Scroll of Regeneration

Both the passive and active health regeneration amount of this item has been reduced.
Both the passive and active regenerate rate of this item (ticks per second) has been reduced.

Hypermace

The amount of spirit the item gives has been reduced to +14 (down from 26), but it now also reduces the cooldown on the Multishot by 8 seconds.

Frosthowl

The additional ice damage per hit has been increased to 15-22 (up from 8-16).

Rico's Chet

The cleave damage has been reduced to 50% and 25% (down from 75% and 25%).
The amount of strength the item gives has been reduced to +8 (down from 12).

Skin Changes

The Chief Bandit skin now unlocks with the Untouchable achievement.

GUI Changes

Text has been added showing the time remaining on Mark of the Barbarian and the Spirit Golem when they are active.
Key text in item tooltips (such as item damage or cooldown reductions) are now in yellow text, to help them stand out at a glance.

Achievement Changes

Swashbuckler

This achievement now requires a score of 3,500 on inferno difficulty (down from 5,000) with the Captain's Mace equipped to unlock.

Bug Fixes

Fixed a bug where the ice damage from Frosthowl was lower than stated in the tooltip.
Fixed an issue where sometimes your previous onslaught performance would not post to the chat.
The time interval for recognizing a kill as a Double Kill or Multikill has been increased. This was to fix an issue where sometimes double kills would not register, or a multikill would register as a double kill.
Fixed an issue where Double Kill and Multikill text would sometimes disappear randomly if multiple kills were achieved in rapid succession.

HOW LONG CAN YOU SURVIVE? Lord Pain has summoned his infernal minions once again to wreak havoc on the realms of men... As one of the last of the Bowmen, a long forgotten but elite Elven race that once guarded the living against this malevolent evil, you must conjure up your courage and venture forth toward the portal of doom to save mankind once again. With a bit of skill, a dash of luck, and the help of unusual accomplices, you may hold these demons off just long enough for the living to be saved and mankind to emerge victorious once again!

SURVIVE THE ONSLAUGHT OF A CARTOON HELL

Fight against Lord Pain's relentless armies in a single game mode called "onslaught", whereby enemies spawn in progressively more and more difficult waves the longer you stay alive. To succeed, you'll need to call upon allies for aid, equip unique items, use health potions, and decimate your foes by detonating powerful explosives.

Leveling up your character after each encounter will allow you to invest in player attributes that will improve your character's damage throughput and survivability, slowly allowing you to progress into more daunting and brow-sweating difficulties.

EQUIP UNIQUE ITEMS

Bowmen comes "equipped" (heh, see what I did there?) with a plethora of items that drop from enemies that have succumbed to your inescapable wrath. These items can improve your player's stats, grant you extra experience per kill, heal your character, or empower you with unique skills and abilities. Will you stick with a scroll that gives you some additional health regen, or will you drop it in favor of that sick legendary sword that will allow you to do maximum damage? The choice is yours!

EARLY ACCESS EXCLUSIVES

Completing specific objectives, performing feats of strength, or reaching high global ranks in Bowmen will unlock unique skins that will allow you to customize your character for a more personalized gaming experience. Starting with RC v1.04, as a token of our gratitude for supporting Bowmen during its early stages, players that purchase the game before its full release will be given the Panda skin, a unique skin that makes a menacing face whenever you get a double kill or greater during onslaught. Early Access backers will also unlock the Vanguard achievement, forever solidifying your Steam account as an Early Access supporter.

Early Access backers will also be providing key feedback to the developers that will shape how the game plays and feels. Those that provide us feedback during development will be given specific recognition in the game's credits once it launches.

FIGHT YOUR WAY TO THE TOP

Lastly, you can fight your way to the top of our leaderboards to earn exclusive bragging rights among your fellow archers! After each session of onslaught on Inferno difficulty, your score will automatically be submitted to Steam along with your character's name and your current level. If your score is higher than any of the scores within the top 1000 for that season, your score and rank will be shown in-game so that everyone will know their place relative to YOU in the Bowmen hierarchy!

Disclaimer: Bowmen is currently available through Steam Early Access, but is considered a work in progress and not representative of the final product. If you wish to play Bowmen in its current state and provide us with feedback, you may do so by purchasing a copy of the game and providing feedback on the Steam forums. For more information about Early Access, please see the Early Access Q&A above.
