Greetings Gladiators
Hello Gladiators, here we are with our *checks calendar*… Biggest and most important Dev log? Oh my, looks like we’re a little late on this one. But better late than never, right? We’ve been hard at work over here, and we have so much to share! So without further delay, let’s get to it!
First and foremost, we want to go over the biggest change to our game, which is the core Gameplay. Now you no longer have to destroy burrows, nor do you have to fight against the crystal overloading. Now you have to work with the crystal and charge it by killing Crystallisk, which is relentless in destroying the crystal. With new unlockable upgrades that can cause afflictions to your enemies.
Your only mission now is uncovering the truth as you Descend deeper into the depths of the Arena.
Patch Notes
Update
Version 0.6.0 is finally out! In this massive update we’ve overhauled the core gameplay, threw out the
ld upgrades and replaced them with more exciting ones. We also introduce the new affliction system that comes along with the overhauled upgrades.
New Cutscenes
In this version we implemented new cutscenes for you to enjoy! Along with these comes the ability to skip the introduction cutscene by pressing ESC on your keyboard.
New Crystallisk
Out with only a single Crystallisk! We have implemented a total of 5 different types, with each their own unique behaviours.
- The Crystal Caster
A ranged Crystallisk that will spit projectiles at their prey. These projectiles may seem slow at first but don’t be fooled as they will catch you off guard the moment you stop being vigilant.
- The Ironscale
A formidable adversary who’s as tough as iron! These Crystallisk take quite a bit of firepower to take out. All this armor does come with additional weight, slowing them down significantly.
- The Ravager Berserker
Beware the Berserker, a ferocious and relentless Crystallisk. These Crystallisk only have a thirst for blood and won’t even bat an eye at the Crystal.
- The Obsessed Ravager
They might seem small and harmless to gladiators but that is because they are obsessed with the Crystal and will stop at nothing to get to it. These little guys can asily sneak past unnoticed if the Crystal goes unsupervised.
New & Improved Upgrades
Become a Poison master, gain a thirst for blood or perhaps, become a Void fanatic as you unlock 19 new upgrades. Experiment with new combinations and form the perfect build suited to your playstyle!
Additionally, each upgrade now scales with your attack power, critical strike chance and critical hit damage. Making each upgrade you take valuable.
Here are some teasers!
Poison Nova
Critical strikes create a poison nova that deals damage and inflicts Poison.
Dark Pulsar
A damaging pulse that turns into a revolving beam after every few pulses and has
a chance to apply Void.
Afflictions
Certain upgrades will inflict affliction on their targets. These afflictions each have their own unique effects when applied. Here are a few examples of afflictions that were added.
Burn
Burns the afflicted dealing damage equal to a percentage of your attack power
every second.
Bleed
Makes the afflicted target bleed over 8 seconds, rapidly dealing damage equal to a percentage of your attack power.
Conduct
Shocks the target over 3 seconds and has a small chance to jump to nearby targets when dealing damage.
Poison
Poisons the afflicted slowly dealing damage equal to a percentage of your attack power over 10 seconds.
Void
Causes your target to be inflicted with void, locking a portion of their health. hen the target’s health reaches the locked portion, void will instantly kill them. After 3 seconds, void will expire and deal damage equal to the locked portion of the target’s health.
