What, are you still reading? Okay, here we go:

It has been a long journey. Almost two years have passed since we announced DW 3, and we could not have made it here without your support. Thank you to everyone who played the demo and left feedback. It truly helped shape the game.

We pushed hard to make DW3 worthy of the series. The pressure to top the previous games was real, and we hope you enjoy what we’ve built.

What’s next? Free updates
Even after a few delays, some promised features did not make it into 1.0. They will arrive as free content updates every couple of months.

First up: Roguelike Mode (endgame unlock)
Short runs of about five maps
Draft Traps and Charms at the start and between maps
Earn Relics that bend the rules and create wild synergies
Build a run-breaking loadout and push for the win
Gain XP for metagame upgrades and unlock stronger Relics
Climb higher Ascension levels for tougher challenges and better rewards
We will share a more detailed roadmap next week. We will also be working on mobile and Nintendo Switch ports, and we want to give DW1 and DW2 some love as well.

If you enjoy DW3, a Steam review helps us tremendously, especially during launch.
Thank you again for being with us. Have fun, and see you in the dungeons!

1.2.6 Changelogs

New Feature - Unit compression - The game will merge newly spawning units in order to reduce the performance hit caused by too many units. The feature kicks in once the unit counter exceeds 100. - Compressed units will have multiplied health, bounty, weight, damage, and life cost. - The rate of compression will increase as the unit counter increases. This will alleviate the crashing / lag issues some players have been experiencing.
In addition to the aforementioned feature, we have also reduced the number of spawned units in high tier maps. This change won't be noticeable in tiers less then 15.
Slightly increased the amount of health of the enemy units in high tier maps.
Increased the maximum movement speed of the enemy units by 10% in Endless mode.
Increased the health of the Bosses by 50%.
In Ascension mode, the new game will begin with all traps unlocked.

Decreased the collision size of Battering Ram.
Decreased the damage of Digger by 50%.
Decreased the movement speed of Digger by 20%.
Increased the base stat of Singularity from 24% to 30%.
Decreased the stat increment per level of Singularity from 8% to 6%.
Wrath has been rebalanced. - The stats of the mods will now increase exponentially. - At Wrath 10, stats are increased by 40% - At Wrath 20, stats are increased by 160% - At Wrath 30, stats are increased by 360% - Health mod will be always included.
