Difficulty tuning patch
We'll continue to adjust the game as we add more content and features.
Hard mode is significantly more difficult than Normal mode, but we've tuned mid and late game areas with this update for more consistency, and to give you more access to loot.
It's still very important to save and manage souls in Hard mode. Buying all chests will mean you're unable to afford higher tier loot and scale your build, which is crucial for survival, and planning multiple turns ahead to maximise your resources and use the dungeon against itself.
Hard mode balance:
- Removed Fire Breed from depth 9.
- Slight increase to Poisonbead and Firebead spawn rate in middle levels for more environmental damage.
- Increased Chest/Corpse quality in depths before most shops. If you can't afford a chest you may still be able to buy a shop item.
- Ravaged room can appear slightly earlier.
- Made lower tier monsters spawn slightly later as well for more soul farming.
Item balance:
Dark Pants: Added 5% Crit Chance.
We'll be doing some more item balance soon.
