Greetings Dice Slingers,
We just updated SpellRogue with our first proper patch that includes new Spells, Artifacts and Events, as well as a ton of balance changes and bug fixes (a big thanks to everyone who has been submitting bug reports and giving feedback on the SpellRogue Discord!).
Examples of new Spells available in your runs.
If you didn’t catch the Living Roadmap we posted last week, this update is just a small step in our plans. Future updates will in general be larger, as we start implementing some of the bigger features and mechanics.

Anyway, here are all the juicy details!:
SpellRogue 0.9.1: “Balance in all things”
General:
- 5 new Spells, 3 new Artifacts, 1 new Event!
- Balance changes for 130+ entities!
- Improved Mutator selection algorithm.
- Added “back”-functionality for rerolled Spell draft.
- Updated and improved translations (NOTE: A few translations are still missing, we are planning to fix this in a hotfix soon).
- Scene cameras are now vertically fitted, so height is always the same (fix for ultra wide screen).
- Improved preview of Spell charges spent.
- Added enemy type to enemy-catalog.
- Stygian Dice can now be picked up & spent in Spells.
- Wound Dice tooltip now shows exactly how much damage you take.
- Tweaked Friar actions (fixes softlock when e.g. only using Thorns).
- Energized Dice is now triggering on “Spent” instead of “Inserted”.
