Hello!
The "Definitive Edition" update is the final expansion to Caveblazers. This update extends and refines the original game with a plethora of new items & upgrades, as well as some quality of life changes, and a few final bug fixes.
Here's a breakdown of the major changes:
38 New Items & Blessings!
All of the new items & blessings have a large focus on synergy! For example (as above), combine the Bolt Lance with the Arrow Splitter, Rebound Emblem & Twofold Perk for ridiculous lightning-based ranged attacks.
More Elemental Options
Get a hold of the Fire Affinity Blessing in an early level (increased fire damage from every fire kill) and combine it with a fire-based ranged or melee attack, and you could end up with massive fire damage by the end of the game.
Also, different damage types have different coloured damage numbers now.
The Dull Ring...
It sounds pretty dull... and, well, it doesn't do anything on its own... but you can throw this ring on to an Altar with a potion of your choosing and the ring will absorb its effect.
New Daily Traits
These new traits add a whole lot more variety to the Daily Challenge.
Here's a few favorites of mine:
Run the Gauntlet - the first part of each level is gauntlet of traps for you to struggle through... good luck!
Explosive Spikes - this one was suggested by discord member Polished. It's self explanatory... and causes chaos
Deck Builder - causes cards from Arena Mode to appear in the main game
Vegan Mode - ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯
Arena Card Rework
Many of the existing arena cards have been rebalanced, and 7 new cards have been added! There are now many more interesting and powerful card combinations to play with. Many of the new cards have an elemental focus (poison, bleeding, fire, etc) which I feel was an area that was a little neglected in previous versions.
Create Your Own Hats!
This feature is exclusive to the PC version. You can draw your own hats, and have them appear in the game! To get started, head to your install directory C:/Program Files/Steam/steamapps/common/Caveblazers/Custom/Hats and you'll find a readme.txt file that explains how to draw them, and a template to help you get started.
Here's a few examples of what you can do:

But what about console versions?!
This update is already up for the Nintendo Switch version, and a PS4 port for the game is in development.

Everything is better with friends. Running. Dining. Playing roguelikes with snazzy combat and varied upgrades, even if they do have bizarrely hateful endings that are so horrendous I can’t avoid mentioning them in this first paragraph.
What I mean to say is that Caveblazers now has an online multiplayer mod, and it’s probably great. The mod also lets you enable 360 degree aiming (rather than 8-directional), and adds a command that skips the early levels and plops you straight into a shop. Just don’t fuss too hard about winning.
You may remember Vadim from Nuclear Throne Together , which added an online mode to Vlambeer's twin-stick shooter, as well as similar mods for Spelunky , Wasteland Kings, and other games. Now he's done the same for Caveblazers, adding online co-op to the 2D roguelike platformer.

Now he's done the same for Caveblazers, adding online co-op to the 2D roguelike platformer. And it's available on Steam.
Vadim has written a blog post about the process of creating the Caveblazers Together mod if you're interested in a look behind the scenes. He writes about trickiness of creating it while the game was still being updated, but notes that if the game weren't still receiving patches it likely wouldn't have enough of a community to make it worthwhile creating this kind of mod for it.
Vadim says that he'll keep the mod updated, and may add achievements in the future—since it's a separate executable, you can't unlock regular achievements while playing the modded version. It's also worth reading the full blog for the chat commands that make options like 360 mouse-aiming and a quickstart mode available.

In this mode you can disable bosses & enemies, slow down the game speed, make enemies and bosses easier, enable "Experimental Weapons", and more!
This new game mode aims to improve the game's accessibility while also including some fresh new features for long-time players.
We recommend playing without Custom Mode to start with.
