Hi everyone, The latest update is now live! It includes a huge rework on runs length and dynamic, a new master selection, 20 new artefacts, 2 new status effects and tons of improvements, balancing and bugs fixing (see the detailed patch notes below). We also have a new Discord server, and an exclusive monster is now available for our newsletter subscribers!

Update: 0.9.1 patch notes

Features:

• Huge rework on runs length and dynamic, starting monsters and rewards for missions, as well as an overall balancing! This is in anticipation of the Ascension system we are working on and the Archives section where players will be able to unlock new hidden artefacts that will be available soon.
• New master selection with a beautiful map for each master!
• 20 new Artefacts to discover!
• New monster for players who subscribe to the newsletter: the Grief Weaver! You just need to redeem the code sent by mail on the main menu to add it to the available monsters pool.
• 2 new Status effects: Guaranteed Critical and Dodge!

Improvements:

• Default missions (previously called archetypes) are now a bit shorter than a year with specific weeks and enemies difficulty patterns. Each mission comes with its own repartition of heroes Tiers and levels. The reason for this was to make the game more dynamic, making the progression during a run less linear and slow. Reducing the length of the easiest parts of a run that were not really fun to play will allow players to dive into serious stuff more quickly. Players still eager to play during 2 years like prior to the update can use the customization settings to do so.
• Missions are no longer unlocked depending on the master level, but require to finish the previous mission instead.
• Enchantress is now unlocked when Slaveholder reaches level 5 and Engineer is now unlocked when Enchantress reaches level 3.
• Missions rewards have been adjusted for all masters, moving all of them one mission below compared to the previous version. 5th mission now has a new reward for all masters.
• Monsters and traps displayed in missions now have full information tooltips when mousing over them.
• Artefacts are now giving more interesting bonuses to make them better game changing elements.
• Some new artefacts are now displaying a Status on heroes to better keep track of stats bonuses monsters are benefiting from.
• Plunders result window has now a different thumbnail for each available plunder in the game.
• Some voices have been added to many monsters and heroes when attacking.
• Increasing game speed settings during dungeons no longer creates chipmunks voices.
• Gold gained in dungeons tooltips is now displayed with a min-max range.
• Enchantress promotion spells are now displayed and called arcane spells for better comprehension.
• Mousing over a dungeon in the Schedule scene will now display all the dungeons tooltips available for the week.
• In addition to Bonuses and Penalties, some effects are now considered as Statuses. They are displayed with gold text. Stunned, Guaranteed Critical, Dodge and Active Artefacts are considered as Statuses.
• Statuses are only removed when their effect is triggered. Statuses dont lose any stacks when heroes are exploring a dungeon like other effects.
• When monsters are defeated, they will now either lose 1 or 2 Motivation. The final amount lost can be altered by game effects like talents or passives.
• Heroes groups generation has been improved.
• Players can now skip trap rooms if they dont want to place a trap.

Balancing:

• All monsters and heroes have received balancing adjustments. Most of the changes have been made to increase fights duration, to reduce the chances for tanks and medium life pool monsters to be one shot by heroes, as well as better differentiate monsters archetypes. It has of course been done accordingly to the new artefacts power and new runs parameters.
• Several masters attacks and spells have been balanced.
• Interns have been balanced (minibosses).
• Disasters have been balanced.
• A few events have been balanced or adjusted.
• Values of heroes skills and passives that were regenerating Life or giving Morale back have been reduced.
• Heros passive with chances to stun can no longer be generated on Tier 2 and Tier 3 heroes.
• Monsters max level has been reduced from 5 to 4. All the stats and attacks upgrades repartition has been adjusted accordingly.
• Leveling monsters to level 4 now requires some Blood to justify the real power spike it represents (15 for rare monsters, 10 for the others).
• Most of the existing Artefacts have been reworked or balanced.
• Artefacts are now all considered as normal rarity. The rare reward for defending a dungeon from a group of adventurers containing a champion can now contain a normal artefact accordingly.
• Orc, Yetigo, Gnoll, Ghost, Infernal Guardian, Jubokko, Skeleton Magus, Skeleton Archer, Skeleton Lord, Skeleton Dog and Skeleton Warrior have received either a new attack mechanic or had their passive reworked.
• Morale percent given back to heroes by the Campfire resting room has been reduced from 30% to 20%.
• Enchantress Blight attack no longer removes Penalties on all heroes.
• Tiredness Penalty max damage dealt reduction has been reduced from 70% to 50%.$
• Engineer advanced traps have been rebalanced.
• Gold gained depending on dungeon difficulty has been rebalanced.
• Pile of Bones trap is no longer restricted to Slaveholder only and can now drop for every master.
• Electrical Coil trap has been reworked.
• Weeks duration and costs of Seminar and Sanctuaries effects have been reduced by half.
• Costs of monsters at the Merchant have been reduced by 50%.
• Merchant Refresh cost has been reduced from 50 to 20 gold and cost per refresh from 25 to 10 gold.
