Streamlining combat and rewards rework
With this update we've been working on an overhaul to how resources tie into rewards and the rewards you get from combat.
Our big goals here are to make the game flow faster so you're spending less time in UIs and more time exploring and battling, while also making it easier to understand how resources affect rarity.
Resources now affect the rarity/power of Exits instead of Combat Rewards
Resources collected in each depth will increase the rarity of the next Exit Event.
eg. If the exit will give you a Mutation, collecting more resources will increase the rarity.
This means you can see exactly how many resources you need for the next rarity tier while exploring a level. Previously it would also collect resources from enemies, but you wouldn't know ahead of time how many resources enemies would have, so couldn't plan for it.
Combat rewards are now set per encounter
eg. Currently, the Chicken family will always give a common Perk, Ibis will always give an upgrade, Elites will always give an epic Perk.
Encounters are auto-selected except for Elites at branching paths
To speed up the game flow and reduce overwhelm we've decided to randomise the encounters each run.
This means you don't need to spend time comparing details for regular encounters. It was getting to the point where we had so much information on the encounter screen that just wasn't a very interesting choice, and incentivised a boring way to play where people pick the same encounters over and over.
Branching Upgrades in Collection
The Mutation page in the Collection is now organised by upgrade level and rarity, and displays what Actions will upgrade from and into.
We've also included filters to hide/show Actions only available in the Shops, which cannot be upgraded.
New Perks, Actions and Encounters
We've also added a bunch of new Actions, Perks and rebalanced some encounters.
