It's been about 5 weeks since we've launched into Early Access, and this build marks a major step forward in finishing the "big features". CRAFTING! From here on out, balance will be moving more toward getting crafting components to fill out much of your deck. Defeat the forces of Chaos, collect crafting components, and uncover the Guardians of your own soul!
Please enjoy the latest build, please join us in the forums to discuss balance, and any problems you find. We're really excited about this build, and what it will allow us to focus on! Mainly, a lot more content, building in more RPG elements, and really fleshing out the remainder of the game!
