Greetings Savage Landers! Last Bastion Studios is pleased to announce the release of our latest Game Update (Build 30). Over the last month we've spent a lot of time rebalancing the later areas of the game to create a much more rich and unique experience. This work will tie into additional content plans we have for the future, so it was imperative we got these foundational changes out of the way. There is still much work to do, but thanks to our dedicated community of players we have managed to reshape/balance/tune the game at an accelerated pace. We look forward to building a better game for all players! As always, Stay Savage! -Last Bastion Studios
