HUGE update for Way of the Passive Fist NEW DAWN!

It's a brand new day for Way of the Passive Fist as we bring NEW DAWN, the biggest update yet! NEW Epilogue Challenge Mode! NEW Rogue-lite Mode! NEW Refined Story Mode!
Alongside fixes, balance updates and other improvements, this makes NEW DAWN the best version of Way of the Passive Fist ever!

NEW DAWN MODE

NEW DAWN takes place after the events of Way of the Passive Fist. With the evil mastermind defeated, a new threat emerges to threaten all life on Zircon V. With a focus on challenge and combat complexity, NEW DAWN will require you to take your parry skills to the next level! With no checkpoints, you will be given 5 lives to make it all the way through NEW DAWN's Stages.

PASSIVERSE MODE

The ultimate training ground for the truest of Parry Masters, the PASSIVERSE is a rogue-lite gameplay mode that features ever-changing combat challenges and a non-linear structure that lets you choose your path. Survive long enough and you will find upgrades to unlock your abilities, but you only get one life, and when you die you have to start all over! Take on the hardest challenges to get to bosses more quickly, or take the easier but longer route and test your stamina. The choice is yours but only those who walk The Way of the Master may proceed so make sure your timing is perfect!

***Both new modes for NEW DAWN are unlocked after completing Story Mode*** ***Players with previous save data (with at least Chapter 1 completed) will automatically unlock NEW DAWN modes***

STORY MODE

Story mode has been rebalanced for better pacing and now features an improved difficulty curve. ***Due to the changes to Story Mode, progress is reset for all players***

GAMEPLAY UPDATES

NEW Enemy behavior: Shadow Warriors Shadows Warriors are embued with dark energy making them invulnerable and extremely powerful. The dark energy emitting from their attacks can't be dodged or parried, so be sure to stay out of their way! If they step up to engage, tactically relocate and engage another enemy. Shadow Warriors are fueled by the energy of their allies, so when they're the last enemy left, the dark energy will wear off, making them vulnerable.
