New Content — Demon Gate Rankings

A Steam leaderboard-based ranking system has been added, letting you compete with players around the world for your Demon Gate records.

This build introduces three rankings:

Horde Survival Ranking Compete over how long you can survive against endless waves of enemies. Ranked by: survival time / kill count

Boss Rush Clear Ranking Among players who have defeated all 5 bosses, compete for the fastest clear. Ranked by: total clear time

Boss Rush Progress Ranking Even if you don't finish the boss rush, how far you reached is recorded. Ranked by: bosses defeated / point reached / cumulative time

Each ranking shows the player, record, character, and the skill preset used, and you can check your own best record and rank at the bottom.

Rankings can be opened via the [Ranking] button on each card in the Demon Gate mode-select screen.

Abnormal records may be reviewed or adjusted, and balance may continue to be tuned based on player feedback.

Change — Demon Gate Always Unlocked

You can now challenge the Demon Gate right from the start of the game.

Previously the Demon Gate unlocked only after fully clearing all 5 main stages, but from this update it's open immediately so more players can jump straight into Demon Gate content and the rankings.

Balance & Bug Fixes

Fixed an issue with the Binding Seal. In boss fights, binding zones could stack infinitely on a single spot, causing bosses to die abnormally fast. Now a boss takes damage from only one binding zone per interval. The Binding Seal's effect against regular monsters is unchanged.

Quality of Life

In the Demon Gate mode-select screen, you can now click the "ESC — Exit" text at the bottom to return to the previous screen.

Closing

Demon Gate Rankings will keep being refined based on record competition, balance tuning, and player feedback.

Thank you for playing. Your feedback and Steam reviews are a huge help to development.
