Hello Commanders!
Starting today until December 31, the first beta version of Corrupted is now available. Check out the various updates prepared in this new version right away!
What is the Beta Test Version?
The beta test allows you to experience all the features of the main game developed so far for a set period. Unlike the previous demo version, you can play up to Chapter 3 and use growth content like research and traits without limitations.
Chapter 3: Laxen Space Station
Chapter 3, the final story of Corrupted, has been added.
The Corrupted, now stronger and with new abilities due to mysterious body modifications, appear in front of the Paladin squad members who have arrived at the station to leave the planet Laxen. The commander's conflict deepens as the duty to complete the mission with the clue to the planet's secret at hand clashes with the responsibility for the safe return of their subordinates.
Adjustment of Existing Chapter Volumes
With the addition of Chapter 3, we have shortened the length of Chapters 1 and 2 from 16 days to 12 days, and Chapter 3 to 10 days, to prevent the game from becoming excessively long. This will allow you to progress through various stages at a faster pace, and complete up to Chapter 3 within the time it used to take to complete Chapter 2.
New Cards
We are introducing cards that were in the development plan but had been postponed due to other issues. Especially Boom, which is a core mechanic card that hadn’t been developed yet. Lucky for us!
Balance Adjustments
Stage 0 Reward Addition
After encountering the Chapter 1 boss, a new reward choice will be created at the next session's Stage 0. These rewards are designed with a high-risk, high-return concept, so careful selection is required.
Equipment Balance Change
Carbon Armor (Nerf): At the start of combat, gain HP 30, Attack and Defense +5 per second (up to 20 stacks) → Gain HP 20, Attack +2, Defense +1 per second (up to 30 stacks)
Craftsman Rat (Nerf)
- Enhance all basic cards → Randomly enhance 1-2 basic cards per squad member
- Makeshift Armor Level 2 → Level 1
Elite & Boss Status Immunity Rule Changes
We wanted the elite and boss battles to have as few variables as possible, so we made them immune to all status effects during breaks. However, we realized this caused too many cards to lose their effectiveness and limited deck building.
- When elite has armor: all status effects applicable, duration of all effects reduced by 25%
- When boss has armor: all status effects applicable, duration of all effects reduced by 50%
Visual Element Changes
- Increased the size of all status and buff icons for better visibility, and replaced temporary icon designs with unique designs. Also, the effects of buildup cards use the same icons as the card designs for immediate recognition, and the amount of effect is now shown as buff stacks.
- Throwrer, Caveguard, Mudstar: Enhanced visibility of these enemies' skill effects.
- Adjusted card play UI layout to match the increased maximum hand size. [] Improved readability of item tooltips and formulas.
- Added a UX highlight for equipment slots when equipping gear on a squad member.
Every single one of your comments, suggestions, and feedback is all being considered thoroughly as we continue our development for the full release.
