Playtest Update 0.1.5

Released: August 6, 2026 (UTC)

Hello, Usurpers.

Thank you once again for continuing to share your valuable feedback with us.

Playtest Update 0.1.5 is now live.

This update introduces stacked toast notifications that display progress such as level-up choices, Relics, Perks, Souls, and stat buffs on the left side of the screen.

We have also added gear comparison tooltips, allowing you to compare an item directly with gear currently equipped in the same slot, along with a new one-time tutorial explaining how to trigger Shatter.

In addition, we have fixed an issue where save data remaining in an older game folder was not detected, strengthened backup recovery, and added safeguards against rare situations that could leave all controls unresponsive.

Please restart Steam if the update does not begin automatically.

Full Patch Notes

Gameplay & Quality of Life

• Added toast notifications to the left side of the screen for events such as selecting a level-up choice, obtaining a Relic, collecting Souls, and receiving stat buffs. Notifications rise upward and fade away. When several notifications occur at once, they are displayed in a stacked sequence.
• Hovering over a weapon, armor piece, or accessory now displays gear currently equipped in the same slot alongside the hovered item. Equipped items are marked as “Equipped”. For equipment types with two available slots, such as rings, both equipped items are displayed.
• Added a one-time, account-wide tutorial explaining the Shatter mechanic. The tutorial is triggered when an enemy reaches maximum elemental debuff stacks while Strike is ready.

Inventory & Equipment Fixes

• Improved equipment replacement behavior for item types with two slots, such as rings and one-handed weapons. Previously, equipping a new item while both slots were occupied would always replace the item in the first slot. The item with the lower rarity will now be replaced first. When both equipped items have the same rarity, the item in the first slot will still be replaced.

Stability Fixes

• Added additional safeguards against rare exceptions that could cause all controls to become completely unresponsive while entering the level-up card screen, Relic selection screen, or stage-entry sequence.

Save Stability Improvements

• Fixed an issue where save data could appear to have been reset after the save location changed between game versions. Progress data remaining in an older game folder—including equipment, inventory, quests, and Gold—was not being detected by the current version. When older save data is found, it will now be migrated automatically to the current save location when the game launches.
• Improved recovery for save files that remain structurally valid but contain missing or damaged data. Previously, some of these cases could silently fall back to default values without attempting recovery. The game will now make a broader attempt to restore the data from available backup files.

Relic & Perk Fixes

• Fixed an issue that could cause a Relic selection card to appear disabled under certain circumstances.

UI & Display Fixes

• Fixed Dominion HUD slot tooltips repeatedly flickering even when the mouse remained stationary.
• Fixed custom mouse cursor size appearing differently depending on the selected screen resolution.
• Fixed the Equip, Unequip, Sell, and Buy action buttons in equipment tooltips always appearing in Korean after changing the language setting.

VFX Fixes

• Added further safeguards against healing orb particles occasionally becoming abnormally large again. Particle states are now also reset whenever an orb is reused.

Balance Adjustments

• Reduced the level-up appearance rates of five elemental-specialization Legendary Perks covering the Fire, Dark, Frost, Light, and Thunder elements. Their appearance rates had been increased in a previous update, but player feedback and gameplay data indicated that they were appearing too frequently.
