Update 20 "Dubious Dwarf" Now Available

Update 20 is now live! This update features lots of UI tweaks and game balance changes, largely based on feedback from the community.

Some highlights:

Features:

  • The item shop features six choices instead of five.
  • Health potions and discard runes can now sometimes be found in the shop.
  • Items you find in the dungeon should always be better than the one you are currently using in that slot.

Balance Changes:

  • Overall, monsters have been lowered in difficulty (less HP, less attack).
  • Ninjas, Elves, and Dragons have been tweaked to be less lethal.
  • Elves are now cowardly (will run away at low health).
  • Added "cooperative" and "magnanimous" as monster traits, which influence how monsters work with each other to defeat the hero.
  • "Vampiric" and "Regenerating" are now monster abilities instead of traits, which allow them to also appear as mini-boss and boss abilities.
  • Monsters that summon other monsters will do so much less frequently, and summon less at a time (Scarecrow, I'm looking at you).
  • The monsters in a dungeon should be more evenly distributed.
