Finally the third difficulty is here!! and you can win a prize if comlpeting all achievements.
Changes to gameplay

Damage has been nerfed on weapons other than the starter weapons but at the same time the values needed to lock them in have been reduced and they have been made more thematic. This makes them more of a requirement especially with the new difficulty.
Dodge now show the added bonus from NOT dodging an attack (which is based on your base dodge)
Bottle of wine now cannot be consumed when already drunk and the shield have been removed
Some changes to various consumables as well
Chaotic difficulty added which increases life and damage even more of the enemies but also adds poison to all of them and even more accuracy.
No major bugs have been found since last versions but multiple small fixes have been applied including anti curse flasks not showing the blessing properly when used.

Patch 5.1.0

Finally release date and we have been working a lot since the last BETA patch to make sure the game is as balanced as possible and all the items fulfill a purpose.
I will not post all the changes here since they are too many but the big changes include

All weapons except GUN now has 3 turns to complete your phase and will not give you more when leveling up, this is to make it easier to balance and more fun since now you must use the spell cards or relics to achieve your full success.
All weapons have undergone changes to damage and other stats according to new balance curve that affect both normal and hard mode.
Added a mini boss (King Scarab) that will grant you a better reward when fighting but you can also skip him if it is too hard.
Soul persona now shows one step ahead when leveling soul to higher levels.
Almost all points on the map have had their rewards revised as well.
All persona points have been adjusted slightly and correct graphics applied.
I will not list all the bug fixes here but over 50 bugs have been fixed and that include merchants having the same cards every time you visited him (now they are different each time) and plenty of other rewards will now properly be randomized.
