- New Lowest Discount and Next Game Updates! - 27 June 2024
Hello hello everyone! Steam summer sale has begun and Spirits of the Hellements is entering a new all time low discount at 50% off. This discount will run until the end of the summer sale on July 11th. In other news, my next project, Godslayer Arena, is now taking sign ups for playtesting. If you haven't heard about it yet it's a fusion of autobattlers and action rpgs. While it is a different genre from Spirits of the Hellements I do think it should still be of interest to a lot of you due to the nature of the autobattler genre. Playtesting will start by the end of next month and I would greatly appreciate it if you signed up and wishlisted the game! Thank you all for your continued support and I'm excited to hear from all of you soon. -Paolo *Sign up for playtests through the page below. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2870430/Godslayer_Arena
- 1.4.1 - Bug FIxes - 16 June 2023
Fixed bonus map audio issues (Sorry for the jumpscare!). Fixed bonus map 11 disarray loading issues.
- 1.4 - 22 FREE Bonus Maps! - 16 June 2023
Hello hello everyone! In celebration of the announcement of my next game, The Soulwalkers, I decided to take some time to give Spirits of the Hellements one last content update. 1.4 introduces 22 new bonus maps, themed after the Soul Realm that you'll be traversing in The Soulwalkers. These maps are going to be a bit different from the ones that you've played in the main game, and they all share the same general map terrain. Some of them feature limited or no mazing, some of them I'm not even sure can be completed at all. Think of these maps as custom/"just for fun" vibe maps that you'll only be playing if you've already completed everything else already and want to play some more. Thanks to everyone who's supported the game so far I'm finally able to work on my dream game, The Soulwalkers, which is a single player roguelike autobattler. If you haven't already please give the game a wis…

Hello hello everyone! Excited to announce that Spirits of the Hellements is partnering with Tiny Tactics to bring you the Maze Builder Bundle! If you're looking for more tower defense mazing action I highly recommend checking out Tiny Tactics. The thing that sets it apart from other games is it's use of autobattler mechanics.

Fixed a bug that would lock certain parts of the game if a Mushroom Spirit was placed on a tile with only 1 valid trap tile. Fixed an issue with enemies being able to walk on the shrine's tile when restarting the game. Fixed a bug where the Laser Spirit would reset to tier 1 after purchasing the cloning upgrade. This issue happens when you purchase the upgrade and the wave ends without you placing the clone. This causes the game to save without a valid location for the clone. If this scenario happens then the game will prompt you to place the clone when reloading that checkpoint Fixed an issue where Laser Spirit's clones would stay blue after reloading checkpoints Fixed an issue where the upgrade tree in the hallowed grounds would not initialize upgrades for the first spirit selected Fixed a typo with the gluttony shrine.

All of 1.2’s major gameplay changes are now ready for testing on the beta build! Read the notes below for an overview of the balance changes, new Diablo modifier, and the Shrines of Sin challenge mode. Note that since this is still a beta version many bugs are to be expected.

- V1.1.1 - Optimization and Graphics Settings - 20 June 2022
Graphics Optimization Today's update brings some graphics optimizations that aim to lower GPU usage. High/Medium/Low graphics settings were also added to further optimize performance depending on your system. In addition, you can now set a frame rate cap. Do note that this setting only applies when vsync is turned off, as having vsync on sets the cap to whatever frame rate your monitor runs at. Let me know if you guys see any improvements after this update. There will still be drops in fps for some situations such as Gatlings placed on wind with the chain path, but I'm going to be targeting those fixes during the next optimization patch. Other Changes The end game screens now show what diablo modifiers were enabled during that run. You can now click out of the saved game prompt in the main menu when loading a saved game.

In endless mode, your goal is to survive for as long as possible. While in endless mode, soul generation is reduced, blessings are no longer given at the start of each wave, and many enemy breach modifiers become permanent. Checkpoints are disabled while in endless mode. I'll be making changes and tweaks to endless mode as feedback comes in so make sure to stop by the discord or the steam forums and let me know what you think! New Map - Jungle A brand new map will be replacing Desert as the first map of chapter 4, and Desert will be moved to be the final map of chapter 5.
