Hey everyone! This update vastly improves incoming attacks\' visual effects, and changes the reward icon for Death\'s Door.

For our next update, we hope to bring some new Weapon Art Refinements to the game - specifically for the Ephemeral Blade\'s Crossdash and the Gnossis Staff\'s Earthbreak.

Game Improvements

• Enemy melee attacks now have a special effect that plays right before the attack begins - hopefully that helps with Parrying! (This effect appears red when an attack cannot be parried);

New Features on Early Access

The Witchery Woods

The Witch A member of the Cult of Eternity, the Witch is a sarcastic and spirited expert in alchemy, necromancy and black magic. Suffering has never been so comical!

The Beast ...or what's left of it. The Witch's "child" is as dangerous as it looks.

The Woods dance in arenas devastated by spikes and fungi - a reflection of the chaotic and free spirit of its dweller.

New Enemies

Ooze a lumbering slime, result of nefarious experiments, that multiplies itself on death;

Doll fragile and fearful enemy that protects itself with an umbrella, pushing the player away;

Soulmate an empathic soul that protects another enemy, gently rotating around it. Dies if it distances itself too much from its loved one.

New Weapons

Gnossis Staff A mystical Staff that specializes in displacing and manipulating enemies - pulling, pushing and stunning.

Storm Dragon A hungry and vengeful Blunderbuss that focuses on quick, potent, short-range damage.

Corruptions

Thanks to the Witch's shenanigans (hehehe), your enemies now transform during your Journey, evolving into more dangerous forms and receiving new powers, such as:

Blinkbones flying Slitherbones that teleports on taking damage;

Skullbearer the Tombfeller becomes more resistant, and carries a Slitherbones on its shoulder;

Vengeful Doll a tankier Doll that reflects melee damage back to the player.

Weapon Aspects

Modify your Weapon during the Journey, transforming or refining your attacks, such as:

Spectral Blade transform the Blade's third attack into a repeatable dash slice;

Mirror Revolver deflect projectiles with your Revolver shot;

Wind Dragon fly back with the Dragon shot, hitting enemies and dealing massive damage on collision.
