The Crypt Update

Hello everyone!

The Crypt update is here with Hero and Deck creation, 4th circle, new bosses and more!

We want to thank you all for your patience and continued support. A very special thanks to the amazing beta players on our Discord who have helped us a lot during this process! <3

To celebrate the opening of the Crypt, we will also be running a special discount of 25% off for a week, until March 11th!

For the future, we want to keep polishing and adding more activities to the Crypt, add the final 2 Circles, do the revamping of "?" events, add more cards, relics, units, all the good stuff. We also have a couple of different run modes planned that we believe will make the game even better.

On that note, the next update will be the last major one before the 1.0 release! It will feature the third and final main Hero for the game.

So, without further ado, here are the patch notes for this update!

Have fun!

These are changes also influenced by the feedback from our amazing community!
