Hi everyone !
Today we are releasing update 0.3.6, which finally brings Mage Staves to the game !
EDIT : The patch is now released
Each Staff comes in four variety, depending on its elemental type. As you’ll see, each element has a different attack style ! We’ve included Fire, Frost, Lightning and Umbra staves, and more elements will be added in the future. Using staves will let you damage the enemy while letting your umbra regenerate. Because of this, Unlimited Power has regained its status as a proper spender.

Our animator has also worked hard to add hit reaction to every enemy in the game. Combat should feel more satisfying now, as monsters will express pain with each blow they take.

We’ve made a number of changes in order to prepare for big upcoming updates (including new enemies, amors, a complete rebalance of the game and more)
You’ll find them in the changelog below. Have fun !
