Early Access Patch #10 (v0.2.0) features new content! Dive into the first of "Aedma's Trials" (previously referred to as Challenge Modes) to take on the "Trial of Clairvoyance". Additionally, five new achievements have been added.
Major Features:
- Aedma's Trials
- Aedma's Trials feature game-altering modifications to Splintered's gameplay beyond typical randomizations! These trials are often challenging, but completing them permanently unlocks their game-altering features that can then be used in future runs and content.
- Trial of Clairvoyance
- Enemies are deadlier than ever, but Aedma has blessed you with Clairvoyance!
- Featured Modifiers:
- Enemies deal 30% more damage.
- You are Clairvoyant. You can predict enemy encounters, your opponent's moves, and the result of every turn in combat!
- Clearing the Trial of Clairvoyance unlocks both of these modifiers in the Randomizer's custom settings.
Additional Updates:
- Five new achievements have been added. Two are related to the "Trial of Clairvoyance" and three are general achievements.
- The "Custom Settings" menu has been expanded with category pages to support the growing list of customizable Randomizer settings.
- General | Magic | Aedma's Trial
- Many enemy sprites have been re-centered to improve their sharpness (their previous anchor points were causing some sprites to misalign with the pixel grid).
- "Divine Shield" no longer prevents dying to damaging tiles, to be inline with the changes in v.0.1.9 (as it now works once per combat).
- Fixed a minor issue with the "Equipment Price" randomizer setting, where equipment would show "0 exp" to level when it inherited Ludriel's Shield price.
