--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
■ Ver 1.0.1 - Ver 1.0.20 Update Highlights
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
◆ Aim for Floor 1000! New Items and HIGH DIFFICULTY FLOOR Expansion
- Addition of "Glorious Holy Wings": In Endless Exploration & Challenge Mode, when reaching Floor 1000 or higher and not possessing the "Glorious Holy Wings", the Labyrinth Castle: Central Core changes into a special floor where you can obtain them from an NPC.
- Limit Break: Added a new item "Limit Break Syringe" that increases the max level by 1 (up to +50). It also has a chance to appear from treasure chests upon clearing HIGH DIFFICULTY FLOORs.
- High Difficulty Adjustments: Doubled the time limit for HIGH DIFFICULTY FLOORs from 3 minutes to 6 minutes. Revised the enemy level calculation formula, adjusting it to a more challenging difficulty.
◆ Improved Battle Action Controls and Exhilaration
- Stunlock Mitigation: When taking damage equal to 1/3 of your max HP within a certain time, you are granted 2 seconds of invincibility and the ability to pass through enemies, preventing unreasonable continuous damage.
- Improved Synergy between Actions and Hero Abilities: Improved so that "Switch Weapon" can be buffered during a Dodge. Additionally, performing specific actions like "Upper Slash" or "Samidare" now triggers Hero Abilities that require a jump to activate, expanding combo possibilities.
- Improved Visibility: "Mixed damage" from Physical and Magic attacks is now displayed in pale yellow, and the size of hit VFX (effects) can now be adjusted in the settings.
- Camera & Lock-On Improvements: Added a "TPS" camera mode that allows you to freely move the viewpoint in all directions. Also, the lock-on is no longer canceled even if the locked-on enemy moves out of range.
◆ "Stress-Free" Improvements to Exploration and Item Management
- Relieved Inventory Pressure: Various Enhancement Scrolls, Scroll of Repairing, "Votive Branch", etc., can now be grouped up to 20! The maximum possession limit for "Capture Stone" has also been expanded to 99.
- Comfortable Map Exploration: Annoying movement speed reduction traps are now automatically removed when a Monster House is completely cleared. Also, monsters spawned from traps are now excluded from the floor clear condition (defeat all enemies).
- Increased Benefits of Familiar Training: The stats (5% of Lv1 stats) of equipped "Sub-Familiars" are now added to Rustil. Additionally, some Companion Familiars now become translucent when they block the camera.
◆ Enhanced Lost Item Recovery Features
- Massive Upgrade to "Lost Items" Feature: Increased the maximum number of dropped items the traveling merchant Iris holds to 300. Items other than equipment, as well as items "stolen" by enemies, can now be bought back.
- Crafting Enhancements: When increasing equipment rarity using Zera's ability (Ascension), additional options are now also granted, making equipment farming even more enjoyable.
- "Shoplifting" Penalty: Stealing items from the shop now generates an unbreakable barrier on the stairs for 60 seconds. Feel free to challenge it if you are confident in your skills!
◆ Performance Optimization and Reliable Support Features
- Expanded Lightweight & Stabilization Settings: Added a "Change All Graphics Settings" button, and detailed On/Off settings for "Shadow OFF", "SSAO", "GPU Occlusion Culling", and "Shader Warmup". We also optimized 3D models to be more lightweight.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In addition to the above, we have continuously accumulated balance adjustments for numerous boss monsters (Crimson Lotus Doji, IGZector, Super Assault Bit, etc.) and minor bug fixes.
This is all thanks to everyone who enthusiastically provides us with feedback every day.
With the Daily Deal on June 11th, we hope even more players will take on the challenge of this harsh yet captivating Labyrinth Castle.
Thank you for your continued support of "Rustil"!
