Hello Warriors!
Here are the changes included in the new build, along with some additional updates about Darfall.
🏔️ Mission 2 & 4 Mountains Rework
We’ve redesigned the mountain layouts in Mission 2 and Mission 4. With this update, all mountains across the entire campaign now meet our intended improved quality level.
Just to clarify, the visual appearance of mountains in Survival Mode remains unchanged. Since Survival maps are procedurally generated, we can’t apply the same handcrafted techniques that Ondrej (our level designer) uses in the campaign, where each mountain is carefully placed with love, rock by rock.

Mission 4 Improvements (Before/After):
🎙️ No More AI Voices - Real Actors Only
Until now, we’ve been using 95% voice-overs recorded by real actors. As of this update, it’s 100% and that doesn’t just apply to voice-overs. The Barracks Warriors now feature brand-new recordings from real voice actor, bringing more authenticity and personality to the game. The splash screen image shown during the game's initial loading has also been replaced with a concept artwork by Dalibor, our concept artist. With this, Darfall is now completely free of AI-generated art and audio.
🎵 Darfall Soundtrack Now on Spotify
Enjoy the haunting and atmospheric music of Darfall outside the game! Our composer Robert Bruckmayer has published Darfall soundtrack on Spotify. Just search for "Darfall" or check the following link: Darfall on Spotify
Huge thanks also go to the other artists who contributed to composing the music for Darfall - Cosme Leites and Adam Barczi. In the future, we’d love to bring you the full soundtrack featuring music from all of these artists.
💀 Reminder: Endless Mode & Difficulty Update
Don’t forget to check out the recently added Endless Mode, as well as the rebalanced difficulty settings across all modes. Whether you're new or a veteran, you’ll notice tighter, more rewarding challenge curves.
We’ve also introduced two new difficulties - Chaosborn (for those who want to suffer) and Explorer (a more relaxed experience focused on the story and world).
These changes were part of the Monday update. For full patch notes and more details, check out our previous announcement
🏆 New Achievements Available
Based on the new Chaosborn difficulty, we’ve added new achievements as well. Can you survive long enough to unlock them all? Don’t forget to share your high score on our Discord in the #share-your-score channel!
⚖️ What’s Next for Balance?
Since the game’s release about a month ago, we’ve received a huge amount of feedback from you - a lot of it positive, but also plenty of constructive criticism, especially regarding balance changes.
Please know, we read every piece of feedback, log it, and evaluate it thoroughly.
If you have additional specific suggestions for balance improvements, feel free to share them with us on our Discord or right here in the discussion below. We really appreciate your input!
Thanks & Have Fun!
