It is incredible and very supportive for us! Thank you for your patience and participation!

Since the release day, many of you gave us feedback that the Current Run Save feature is a must-have one. And it really is!

- 0.4.301 - Tutorial added, new content, balance. - 5 March 2021
This patch focuses on two QoL features: Tutorial and Speech Bubbles, as well as a little bit of new content and last boss changes. The tutorial is meant to help newer players to get into some unique mechanics the game has such as attack dodging. Speech Bubbles is just something that was really needed. It helps to understand why specific action can not be done, for example when trying to play 2 mana card with only one mana left - Hero will say that more mana is needed. We are really happy with what we did. Also, the same bubbles will be used for story interaction in future updates. We are also adding two new talents, a legendary card, and a trinket to spice up combinations a little bit. Act 3 boss changes. We wanted to make sure the last boss is not just "big numbers" but also requires some tactic to defeat it. And some balance changes! Check out the full changelog below. Quality of Life…
