Coming in October, AWD will be having two major content updates in a joint release! DLC: EVIL EMPRESS
Somebody new will be joining the dungeon's twisting doorways: the Everlasting Empire's one and only Evil Empress!
Going through her own solo adventure in the illusionary dungeon, her gameplay focuses on being an utter demon in battle who can shift between two forms for different skills, modifiers, and status immunity! Though potentially difficult to start out as, she has several unlockable upgrades that make her able to contend with the hardest foes of the dungeon single-handedly.
It isn't just her, though! Contained within her pack are several new powerful items and interests that can be unlocked for use by the other dungeoneers!
UPDATE 1.6
Alongside the DLC, Update 1.6 will be released! Unlike other AWD updates in the past that focus mostly on fixing issues and balancing things, this update will contain heaps of that treatment along with completely original content and several systematic tweaks that should assist new and old players!
Some of the new content included in 1.6:
Updated investigation and checking party members while equipping,
New art and sound effects for many common occurrences!
3 new areas!
6 new bosses!
25+ new in-game achievements for unlockable items, interactables, and extras!
