There is now a Chaos Reborn demo! Tell your friends about it and try and get them involved in some multiplayer games. It gives players free access to the multiplayer modes and tutorials, but not realms, offline battles or social rank progression. The inventory limit is also restricted to 7 items.
This update also sees the introduction of the Realm Moderator system. Wizard kings designing realms will have to submit their realm designs to a moderator before being released to the players. Some of the existing realms will be put back into development and will have to be fixed and resubmitted if desired.
Here are the changes and fixes in detail:
The maximum number of concurrent asynchronous games has been raised from 20 to 40.
In the equipping screens the staffs and bodygear have a new display which shows the 3D model and compares stats with the currently equipped item. For staffs you can press a button to see all the spells that match the staff type.
The new realm moderation system has been implemented. New realms have to be approved by a realm moderator before being released to the public.
A realm design guide has been added to the realm editor, and the game guide is also accessible from the realm editor.
Aelfscyne talisman mana cost increased from 35 to 50.
Battle event log scrolling now works properly (and has a scroll bar).
Paralysed gooey blobs will no longer attack trapped victims.
Fixed a bug where a player wasn't able to change equipment configuration that was used in classic private async game request.
Players in private matches will now be disconnected for inactivity.
Fixed a bug that caused the client to break if the server disconnects it during the login animation.
Fix: talisman target selection, battle log, mega spell activation, select rider button, and select player buttons are now selectable on touch devices.
Fixed the bug where allied victory against 2 wizards in realms is counted as 2v2 win achievement stat.
Camera zoom key bindings fixed - no longer mixes up zoom in/ zoom out
Fixed a bug that didn't allow you to open equipment pack even if you have enough space in inventory.
Added check for max inventory items when buying equipment packs.
Fixed a bug where an encounter result offering allies, if interrupted by battle or exiting to menu, would not show the correct title and display an erroneous OK button.
Also improved the message where you have to dismiss multiple mercenaries in order to hire multiple allies from an encounter.
Gold awards are now given for wizard lords defeated in towns or wizard towers.
From Julian Gollop, the designer of the original, award-winning XCOM game comes Chaos Reborn - a fast paced, turn-based wizard combat game with strategic Realm Quests. Between 2 and 4 players can challenge each other to magical duels in a variety of arenas using a spell deck of interesting spells and creatures - including the Gooey Blob, Shadow Wood, and more. There is a monthly league system and several game modes with live or asynchronous battles. You can explore the Realms of Chaos fighting Wizard Lords and Kings, and invite players to join you in co-op battles, or act as an invader in someone else's realm. These Realms can be designed by player Wizard Kings and rated by other players. You can upgrade to Forgemaster and create your own customised staff and bodygear, which can be duplicated and acquired by other players.
