Hey everyone!
Many of you have been asking for a higher difficulty, and we’re happy to deliver!
We’ve just released a PTR (Public Test Branch) build, available to all players who own the full version of the game. You can now test the upcoming balance changes and help us decide if we’re heading in the right direction.
What to Expect:
The game should now feel noticeably more challenging overall.
Keep in mind:
- If you previously played on Hard, you might want to try Medium first.
- Easy is still beginner-friendly, but we’ve significantly increased the size of night waves to make it more engaging.
- These changes are especially noticeable on 7- and 10-day maps, where the waves ramp up more aggressively.
Main Changes:
- Larger night waves → higher overall night-time difficulty
- Final wave demon count increased
- Undead daily assaults are tougher
- Orc raids are stronger
- Enemy levels (orcs, undead, monsters, demons) now scale higher the closer you get to the map edges
These adjustments will also help us fine-tune wave difficulty for the upcoming Endless Mode.
We’ve prepared a short feedback survey - it would help us a lot if you filled it out after playing!
How to access the PTR version:
1. Right-click on Darfall in your Steam Library
2. Choose Properties
3. Go to the Betas tab
4. From the dropdown, select ptr-1 (this will trigger an update)
5. Click Play
To return to the regular version, repeat the steps above but choose None instead of ptr-1.
Thanks again for helping us test and fine-tune the experience. Good luck out there!
