Hello Mediators, With version 6, I decided to hold off on updating the game over smaller patches and make this update one giant patch. That's why it was a little quiet for some time. Anyway, on to version 6! It's a big patch, lots of stuff got added and lots of stuff got fixed. Below is the changelog.

Introducing, the Gunslinger

The Gunslinger a new class wielding dual pistols. Unlockable after defeating The Interstice's final boss, this addition expands the playable classes to a total of 11.

New map, Oleand Coast

Venture to Oleand Coast to defeat 6 new bosses and new enemies. This map is automatically unlocked after defeating the last boss of The Interstice and is geared towards classes that have reached upgrade level 40.

New Items

2 new items have been added. Critical Strike chance + Cooldown reduction item and a healing item.

New Spells

Version 6 has 3 new spells to add to your builds.

Better Feedback

The screen will flash red showing some feedback every time you get hit. This option can be turned off via the settings and is on by default. There is also a highlight outline that can be turned on, in case you lose your character. This setting is turned off by default and can be turned on via the settings.

Hello Mediators, I hope you all are enjoying playing Nyran Survivors so far. I see a few videos online about it, really cool! It's really nice to hear from the players and watching them play (and fail!). This patch aims to sort out some issues, let's get started.

Keybinds are here

There was no way to get around the hardcoded keybinds in Nyran Survivors. Well, not anymore. In the settings, see the new keybinds screen to change keybinds. I got a few DM's about people wanting to change their keys from WASD or they couldn't play the game because they are using AZERTY keyboards. I hope this will help now.

Changes to item/spell rerolls

Before version 2, there was an unlimited amount of item and spell rerolls. This is fun and all but as we have leaderboards, this makes it less competitive. I see a few people who have over 500+ item rerolls (sus) which is unfair to those are a legitimately trying to rank. It also helps to keep it competitive as you now only have 100 rerolls to compete on the board. With these changes, leaderboards have been adjusted and rankings with over 100 item/spell rerolls have been removed.

Changes to levels

Again, there was no cap on levels, the game just kept levelling you up so you can earn more and more items and spells. Not anymore. There is now a level limit of 100, however you can level past this but the rewards will only be healing or extra gold. Upon reaching level 100, elites now have slightly more health. With this change, leaderboard rankings that have more than 100 player levels have been removed.

Changelog

• Keybinds have been added, see settings menu
• Elites have increased health when player reaches level 100
• Item and spell reroll now has a limit of 100 rerolls
• Fixed a bug that caused item/spell rerolls to not take the proper amount of gold
• Pancakes item added
• Treasure Chest item added
• Shield Wall spell now has an active effect
• Shield Wall spell duration increased to 3s, up from 2.5s
• Forced Vsync on whilst in main menu to help AMD users

Thank you for your continued support, see you on the leaderboards!

Hello Mediators, I hope you all are enjoying playing Nyran Survivors! This is just a small patch to leaderboards so players can easily see where they are on the rankings easier, seeing as there's now a bunch of you on there! There's also some language fixes here and there. Locked maps text has also been updated to reflect that you need to upgrade your character via the gear tab. See you on the leaderboards!
