Developer postMajor update: New hero + endless mode
Hi everyone, Just in time for Christmas, a new hero and endless mode. Some of you have played the game ALOT. I didn't expect that, so I decided to implement the endless mode earlier than planned, so you can get even more challenges. But first, here's a new hero: The Hermit Blind
Original postHi everyone,
Just in time for Christmas, a new hero and endless mode. Some of you have played the game ALOT. I didn't expect that, so I decided to implement the endless mode earlier than planned, so you can get even more challenges.
But first, here's a new hero:
The Hermit
Blind and can't fight. Improves your animal skills and can summon powerful animals.
This is a support class, but he can be trained to do psychological attacks on animal enemies to slow them down, or charm them.
Endless mode
You can keep your party and fight new challenges in a never ending fight fest. When you beat the final boss, there will be a button in the lower right corner. When you click on it, the world is repopulated with new monsters and treasure. Every 10 days, a powerful boss will chase you down. Try to survive as long as possible!
