An important question, so please help me with some feedback! Besides the balance still being tweaked, my other problem is with the length of a game-session. Would you prefer: 1) have a campaign of 100 levels like it is now 2) have a shorter campaign of 50 levels 3) have no end level at all (like original Heroes of Loot) and this is about the normal mode, we already have the Hard mode which is shorter with just 30 levels. I'm personally not convinced about 100 level campaigns yet.. it often feels like a chore, but then again, I know people playing the original HoL for hours and hours reaching level 400 or even 500+.. also not sure if most people prefer playing short sessions that are completable (like I had in Space Grunts) or have more fun in bigger campaigns like this is now.. so, give your feedback below in the comments!

After their job, of keeping the dungeons in balance, was done, our heroes needed a new job. Roaming the lands they found a call for heroes, a castle in need, possible even a damsel in distress?

Pick two heroes to take into the adventure, controlling both heroes and using their special skills to navigate the dangerous castle hallways, rooms and floors. Switching between the two characters to solve quests, puzzles, and of course clear the dungeons of all evil.

Quests - The dungeon is full of problems, let's call them quests. These problems range from simple "find a key" to "use magic powers to light all magic candles and open the magical gate". Different types of quests require different solutions. Use the skills of the characters in your party to complete these quests.

Weapons - Your characters are your main weapons. The Elf shoots his arrows through multiple monsters, the Wizard has unlimited magic, the Warrior has a powerful melee attack with his hammer, and the Valkyrie besides having a quick spinning-melee attack can also detect secrets and important loot. The characters can level up to increase their firepower, or find rare loot which enhances your character for short periods of time. This includes magic spells!

Secrets - Find secret rooms, level-skipping teleports, secret items, and more!

Perma-items - You will be able to unlock magic spells by collecting 4 shards of various magic books. Once all shards are collected the magic is unlocked. It's also possible to increase the strength of this magic by collecting the magic shards multiple times. All unlocked spells will stay unlocked even after you die, making you more powerful on your future attempts to reach the final boss.
