Early Access for RW2 begins today.
The game is quite similar to RW1, using the most of the existing graphical assets and a slightly modified game engine. I wanted to focus on making the game better rather than newer, and on serving the existing player base rather than chasing new ones. IMO the game is a very big improvement on the first.
A quick summary of the most significant changes for veteran RW1 players considering making the jump:
- New equipment system. Find and equip staves, robes, and other equipment. Replaces shrines.
- 31 new spells
- 28 new skills
- Most spells have reworked upgrades (one per spell rather than piecemeal)
- Free HP refill and portal reroll at end of each level.
- New procedural boss generation system
- New multi-tile boss monsters
- Compressed level curve
- Larger level size if your monitor supports it

I hope you enjoy playing it as much as I enjoyed making it :)
