- v0.6.1 - The Tempest Order: Part 1 - 5 June 2026
The Tempest Order was a longstanding magical faction with Sanctums across Enalia. But following a rebellion, a break-away sub-faction known as the Stormbringers has overtaken their once-hallowed halls. Obsessed with power, this new faction defends its newly acquired territory ruthlessly. These Sanctums are a serious challenge, representing the hardest dungeon currently in the game. Warning: spoilers below. Save files from version 0.6.0 are compatible, however it is recommended to back up your saves just in case. On load, the game will automatically add Sanctums to your world. If you'd like to continue playing 0.6.0, you can select it in steam options under betas. SanctumsThe world now generates with 8 large Sanctum dungeons.

Staffs are designed to support a variety of builds: a glass-cannon mage, a front-line battle mage, or a pure bludgeon bonker. Our goal was to accentuate these styles and give you meaningful tactical decisions for each. The centerpiece of this update is a new mechanic: Movement Advantage. This is the first instance of a "turn action" bonus, which…

BludgeonsThis rework introduces 9 new unlocks to the Bludgeons tree.

So, what defines the Bludgeons playstyle? While Blades focus on attrition through blood loss (DoTs) and avoidance (Parry/Dodge), Bludgeons excel at crowd control, defense reduction, and chaotic bursts of massive damage. Conceptually, the tree contains two distinct paths: On the left path, you will fin…

- Dev Blog: Foundations of Magic - 15 May 2025
It's been a quiet past several weeks, but for good reason. The next major update v0.6 is shaping up to be one of the most significant yet. This update will introduce a new magic-focused faction that plays a key role in the story, along with their associated new dungeon type and two magic skill trees. The Stormbringers Following a brutal civil war, the ancient guild sanctums of the Tempest Order have been seized by rogue mages who call themselves The Stormbringers. The Sanctums now stand as corrupted strongholds scattered across the world. These will be among the most dangerous dungeons in the game, featuring new enemy types, environmental effects, traps, and spells. With these dungeons come new original tracks by Fogheart, including Abomination, the theme for the corrupted sanctums (obligatory listening while you read the patch notes) Many of the same spells used by The Stormbringers wi…

Nyris Vine A mysterious vine of otherworldly origin has begun appearing throughout the wilderness and within dungeons.

(Warning: spoilers and mechanics explanations below.) A Growing Threat The plant begins as a single seed and slowly grows, spreading its vines and spawning Virelings to defend itself. Initially weak and easy to manage, the Nyris Vine becomes exponentially more dangerous if allowed to grow unchecked. Destroying seeds clears nearby vines and weakens the plant's overall strength. Mutation Entities stepping on the v…

Reworked: "Evasive Fury", "Sprint", "Tumbling", "Jump", "Aeralist", "Trap Reaction". Added upgrade path to Sprint.This…
