In this update, we focused on increasing the chance of items appearing. This is to encourage players to try crafting more weapons, use Skills and more against hordes of enemies.
On the other hand, we tried some adjustments on every ones' least favorite boss in Chapter 3, as well as restricting the number of enemies on specific areas and some more difficulty tweaks.
More balance changes are on the way, and we'll keep tracking if there are any game-breaking bugs. Thank you!
Note: About 6 hours ago, we released v1.03 early. After discovering a game-disrupting bug, we immediately return the game back to v1.02.
The bug is now identified and fixed. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.
