Our full v1.0 release is finally here! A huge thanks to every one that has followed us throughout early access. You've helped make the game so much better than we could have accomplished by ourselves.
We're offering a 10% launch discount, that will only be running for the next couple weeks. So pick up the game now, if you haven't already! Or, if you love the genre, check out the Self-published Bundle we're a part of, to pick up 9 amazing survivors-likes, all at 20% off!
There's a few huge features included in this release, that complete our final vision for the game:
- Compendium: Tracks your acquistion stats across enemies, maps, weapons, and consumables. As you increase your counts here, it will unlock extra lore descriptions, providing more information about the world of Orc Survivor. These descriptions also contain various gameplay hints and more in-depth enemy/weapon stats.
- Orcphanage: This is our final metaprogression system, unlocked by completing a run on the Palace. By permanently spending gold to save Orcphans (orc orphans), you earn positive karma. This karma can be invested to bless your weapon, increasing your weapon-related attributes, or bless the Orc, increasing your luck in various categories. Limitless Karma can be earned, so these upgrades can become quite high, but it does quickly become more and more expensive to invest.
- King: The final class, unlocked by defeating the Emperor. The King gets access to all weapons from the other three classes, as well as benefits from all class-unique boons. King builds can get really crazy, especially accounting for evolving up to 6 weapons in a single run!
- Glory (difficulty select): After defeating a map on the base difficulty, the glory select chest will appear in the pre-run lobby. Using this chest will let you increase the round difficulty, as well as wager a gold bet that you will win the run. Increased difficulties also now change the game behavior more significantly, such as changing enemy spawn patterns and introducing special boss variations at difficulty 10.
There's also a few smaller features we have been able to include:
- Save select: When launching the game, there are now three save slots to select from. You can also delete a save slot from this screen. These saves are still automatically managed by Steam Cloud Save, across devices.
- Steam deck support: We're now moved from 'no support' to 'partial support' on Steam Deck! To accomplish this, there is now a dedicated Linux build, that runs on Steam Deck.
- Linux support: As a side effect of the steam deck support, we now have full Linux support! With a native Linux build.
Thanks for playing Orc Survivor!
