Hey Everyone! It's been a couple months since the last update and I have been busy putting the finishing touches on Plague Breaker in time for its full release, which is officially going to be July 5th! This post is intended to highlight a lot of the new features that are coming soon, and I'll post a full patch notes with all changes when the update is actually released.
What to expect
This final update has a lot of awesome new changes that I'm excited to show off! This update brings in some simple meta-progression to unlock the true final boss, adds a ton of new items and weapon effects, rebalances how many items the player receives and of course fixes a lot of bugs!
Additionally, I will be removing the Demo off of Steam. I simply don't have the time to bring the demo up to the current standards of the game, so this decision is going to help ensure that the game releases on time.
New Boss
There is a brand new final boss, which is only unlockable after beating the game with all 5 classes. This boss is going to be a serious challenge so bring your best builds into the fight! I won't show any spoilers on who or what the boss is, but I will show you the battlegrounds!
New Items
Plague Breaker now has over 100 items! In addition to the magic items, there are new Armor and Weapon effects that appear in the weapons shop.
More loot
Later levels can feel a bit unrewarding for exploring a large floor only to take some damage from enemies without anything to show for it. I've added common chests throughout the levels, appearing more frequently in later levels. These chests can contain common items, potions or just coins.
Cursed Items
These items only unlock after you've reached the final boss at least once, occasionally you will be offered items instead of the chest. If you accept, you'll get a powerful new item that has some unwanted side-effects!
Non-Pixelated Font Choice
I've had some users complain about the font choices, so I've added an option to use a non-pixelated font for those who prefer that.
Timeline
With the release only 7 weeks away I am doing my best to make sure the game is as bug-free as possible for the full release.
