Daily Login Bonuses, New Monsters, New Soul Gear, and Tons of Bug Fixes
We wanted to release this new version on Friday, but you know, Halloween parties got in the way. Here’s myself and some buddies at an Halloween party in Medellin, Colombia:
That being said, we’re releasing now, just in time for our biggest sale ever on Steam: 35% off!
What can I expect from 0.0.19?
We aimed to add more multiplayer features but decided instead to focus more on fixing some glaring issues that either had been there for a while, or slipped in some of the recent builds.
Here’s what’s in this build:
Daily Login Bonus
Open the game every day to get a freebie, including the fabled Shamrock soul, legendary loot, and tons of misc. souls! The day resets on the GMT timezone.
5 new monsters
Ratapow
Ratapow is an alternative to other monsters boosting Agility for the rest of the row or when equipped on loot. His main action reduces other monsters’ wind resistance. That ability was removed from Galewyrm and moved to this monster. That was done in an effort to balance the game a little better.
Yoker
Yoker is one of the strongest unit in the game (DPT-wise), dealing Dark damage to a full column. Put him in a row to make every unit regenerate a high amount of health on every hit.
Sundorak
Sundorak is a special monster. When slotted into loot, he increases the monster’s strength, intelligence, vitality and agility by 100! In the row, he boosts every unit’s light resistance by a very large amount (450% at level 200). His main action doesn’t do much damage, but it reduces all of a target’s resistances by 500%! He’s likely the game’s best de-buffer at the moment.
Vomitor
Vomitor deals high earth damage to lots of targets. In loot, it increases earth damage by a substantial amount.
Bushwacker
Bushwacker hides behind his bush and focuses on buffing his allies. Use him in the row or in loot to boost earth resistance. His main action renders earth attacks against your team almost useless.
4 new Soul Gear
Blinded by is the only armor soul gear that boosts light damage. It’s extremely valuable to the Zookas and the new Sundorak. And with a lot of new Light monsters coming up, this is worth the investment of time to level up the Sundorak, Zookas and a Snow Rabbit!
Burning Flash is probably the best soul gear for fire damage dealers. But because the damage is flat and not a bonus, it’s also a good way to add an extra element to any monster’s attack. The burn on turn effect is great for AOE actions. The intelligence boost is good for any elemental action.
Having a hard time against earth-based monsters? Try this soul gear. This almost renders any earth-based attacks worthless against you.
Bug Fixes and Rebalances
- Fixed bug where you could duplicate souls infinitely
- Fixed bug where units would act many times in a row. This was mostly seen using the Pirate set.
- Rebalanced buffer units so that they’re actually useful. A few versions ago, we changed the algorithm for elemental resistances making it so 100% resistance = taking 0.5x damage. 1000% = 0.1x damage. It used to be that 100% = taking 0 damage.
- Fixed issues with loot or soul inventory being full and breaking the UX. This is mostly a patch at the moment. Basically, if you having 300 loot or souls, you will stop receiving rewards. In a future version, we’ll allow you to manage the inventories so you can keep rewards post-limit.
- Fixed the Pirate set being over-powered. In addition to the fix mentioned above, we made it so the bonus doesn’t trigger 100% of the time. We put it down to 75%, which is still very useful.
- Rebalanced the Galewym so it’s not that much more powerful than other monsters.
- Increased most monsters’ health so they survive a little more.
- Fixed buffs and debuffs triggering on other monster’s turn. What you’ll noticed is a drop in usefulness of the poison and burn effects, as well as regen effects.
- Some UI fixes.
What’s coming up in 0.0.20?
0.0.19 is just out, but we’re already working on 0.0.20, one of the last few updates before we finally go in Beta!
The theme for 0.0.20 is: Online Features. We’ll toss in more bug fixes, rebalancing and new monsters into the mix!
Stay tuned!
Don’t miss out the 35% off sale from October 29th to November 5th!
