Developer posts and news about this game.
In the previous update I introduced racial passives and mentioned that I might experiment with class passives as well. Since many of you seemed to like the idea I decided to give them a try. Class passives are heavily focused on class fantasy and are defensive in nature, making c
Added a new The Hidden Bazaar location that allows exchange resources and purchase expensive items and upgrades. To unlock this location reach level 10 with the Thieves Guild. Added an option to auto pick up Unlimited Power masteries once all of the class masteries have been pick
New Runewords Collection Added a new Runewords collection under The Stygian Archive that keeps track of discovered runewords, with options to filter them based on stats and other parameters. You can also copy a runeword from the collection and paste it directly into the character
As mentioned in the previous blog I wasn’t too happy with how similar each of the existing races felt offering mostly visual variation and a few minor stat bonuses. This minor update adds new Racial Passives for each of the four races making them more interesting and build-defini
The Necrolord update has now been out for a week and judging by the player feedback and activity on the Steam discussion boards and Discord, it’s been very well received. There are some minor balance issues and bugs that still need to be ironed out and you can expect a small upda
Bug Fixes Fixed a bug that would sometimes cause an error message when player died with a companion and Skull of Zoth artifact. Fixed a bug that caused players from not being able to reset progression. Fixed a display bug with the Ydr rune where upgrading it incorrectly showed th
The scent of the grave hangs thick in the cold air… Here we are. It took a while and a bit more, but the first new class since the Early Access release of Conquest Dark is here. Let me present you… New Class: Necrolord Necrolord is a class that brings together three different fan
The next large update to the game is just around the corner, arriving in the second week of September (if everything goes as planned). The new class is now finished and I’m currently testing and balancing it while also creating new artifacts, uniques and eldritch items to support
The next major update focuses on the new class and it’s been really hard to pick topics to talk about and show work-in-progress assets without giving too much away or spoiling things. That said, one of the new additions coming with the update is a new damage type, Umbral Damage .
It’s once again time for a monthly featured build and this month I’ve picked a build that fits the season. Summer is at its peak, it’s hot af and you’d rather spend your time outside than sweating next to your PC. The build below is perfect for starting a run, leaving your charac
Hail, Fated Ones! The publishing team at Mad Mushroom here with a quick message about another ARPG in our portfolio that you might enjoy: Hell Clock . Hell Clock is a roguelike ARPG from Rogue Snail, set in a dark retelling of real Brazilian history. And it has its first major ex
New Content Added a new Hell Clock artifact to celebrate the upcoming launch of Hell Clock’s Cursed War expansion. You can check the game and the expansion here . Gameplay Armor Enhancement can no longer roll stats that have already been capped. If a character has no viable stats
This month’s featured build is Space Lazer Madness by Sugar_Ray. “This build comes online very fast and has no defensive capabilities so to speak of. But the sheer damage output makes defense unnecessary. I've not seen such a high dmg build yet where you feel like 80% like you're
I’m going to start this first monthly development update with the classic “there’s some good news and some bad news.” About a month ago, when I started working on the design of the new upcoming class I quickly realized that it felt mechanically too similar to what already exists
Gameplay / UI Damage floater animation is no longer sped up if game speed is increased. Focus target now prioritizes elites and bosses over normal enemies. In-Game Build Planner and Auto-Build Mode Added some missing stats to In-Game Build Planner fragment stat categories. Update
Conquest Dark has now been in Early Access for one year (actually a week over, but I was too busy writing this last week). Since launch it has sold more than 150,000 copies, securing development funding for years to come, especially for a one-man team. This allows me to take my t
Finding a good build that feels uniquely barbarian and doesn’t repeat things we’ve already seen a lot of (looking at you, Eye of the Berserker) has been a bit tough and it made me realize it’s probably the class most in need of a minor revamp. Barbarian was the first class create
User Interface Corrected text in multiple places in the UI. Ritual descriptions now mention the difficulty level. This makes it easier for new players to evaluate the challenge without having to interpret it from the ritual modifiers. Ritual descriptions now indicate whether Shar
This week’s featured build is Sunblotter by Hadrian. “ An auto-build version of the Hunter build I played most around the time I first beat Akka. Not optimized for Akka specifically, but inspired by that build and using the latest Unique & Eldritch gear, which was not availab
