This update lays down the foundations for the new "Challenge" system, a new way to unlock relics.
To help testing out the system this patch already includes 3 challenges, have fun beating those and let me know if you have any feedback or suggestions.
More challenges will be added with the next big update, which will also contain a new playable hero heavily inspired by suggestions from the community. Its design and balancing is 90% done but it still needs more work on the art and animation aspect.
I'll post updates of the work in progress on Discord/Twitter.
Apart from that, this patch also includes a variety of visual improvements and balances changes.
The localisation on this update is slightly delayed, sorry about that. Don't hesitate to come and complain on Discord if you are affected by that. (for real, it's always good to know)
