Trick-or-Treat!Īnd more! Here's a full rundown of everything included with this update: We'd be remiss not to acknowledge the fact that this update is releasing during Halloween week! To celebrate, enjoy explosions of pumpkin guts raining down on the battlefield between October 30 - November 1. Hate math? So do we, so allow us to simplify it: If the Blessings you select equal a Doom Value of 3, then you must also select Curses to go with it that equal a Doom Value of at least 3. Spending Essence on only Blessings would make Hard Mode too easy, so to balance it out, you’ll also have to select Curses, which produce negative effects on your run, such as more Bandits or less gold.Įach benefit is assigned a Doom Value, and your Blessings and Curses must balance. Blessings are positive benefits, such as increasing your maximum mana level or earning larger gold rewards. In Hard Mode, you’ll spend Essence in exchange for temporary benefits to your run. Meaner and nastier, expect these baddies to radically increase the challenge thanks to higher HP, more armor, less cooldowns, and unique passive abilities, just to name a few upgradesĭon’t despair just yet, because we’re also adding new metaprogression features, which will help you grow stronger with each run! As you gain more and more Essence, you’ll need a place to spend it, which is where the new Blessings and Curses system will come in. More specifically, you’ll be introduced to Dire Units, which are super-buffed versions of the abominations you already know and love. To distinguish Hard Mode from the current player experience, the first step was to add more complex resource management and, of course, make your enemies tougher. Well, we love a challenge, too, and Hard Mode is the result of our efforts! But what exactly does that mean? It means your runs are about to get a serious dose of abomination wrath!

One of the most common requests we receive from you all is to make the game harder. You've asked for it, and with our latest update, we're thrilled to introduce Hard Mode and new metaprogression features.
