Hello everyone!
Today’s update is all about Beta Challenge Mode.
This new mode will be a challenge for those who want to push their gameplay further.
Every day you will have the opportunity to play a new run, completely different from any other. This run will be the same for everyone. That means you will play with the same character, same starting relic, same shrines and rewards, etc.
In case you haven’t unlocked a character or relic, that won’t be an issue as everything will be unlocked on Challenge Mode.
As the aim of this game mode is that everyone has the same opportunities, your Yggdrasil will be disabled. However, there will be a few random upgrades available each day. The only thing that may make runs a bit different from each other is that you will have a fixed amount of leaves to use in the daily Yggdrasil available upgrades.
DISCLAIMER: Our recommendation is that before you try Challenge mode, you have already conquered all realms, as it will be quite challenging if you are a new player.
We still need to balance the difficulty, restrictions and perks you will find in this game mode, so we want to keep it as a beta until next week.
We can’t wait for you to try it and let us know what you think on Steam forums and our Discord channel.
At the same time, we are also working on the development of Helheim, which will be ready in a few weeks! Here’s a sneak peek of some of the enemies we’re working on!
General
- Some bosses stayed immune to damage when they changed phase.
- You could skip boss different phases if you deals very high amounts of damage.
- Some bosses spawned on top of you dealing unavoidable damage.
