Steamhounds version 0.4.8 "Pendulum" is here!
- Berserker abilities overhaul
- Warrior tweaks including a new ability
- New battle music
- Bug fixes / stability improvements
We really wanted to revisit some of our original characters and make them better. Through our community, we gained tremendous insight over the course of many tournaments, and we observed the gaps and spaces where our characters can shine even brighter.
And we are definitely listening to your suggestions! Someone suggested new music. So we added a brand new battle theme! Hope you like it.
Reworked Berserker Abilities
In the latest patch, the Berserker has gone through some major changes, but its core concept remains the same – a slow heavy-hitter whose desire to kill gives them tunnel vision and can make them reckless at times. Our new set of abilities really drives this home while making them even more dynamic and fun, overall.
So try out them out yourself, and tell us what you think!
