- Minor update - 20 May 2025
Hello Survivors! Minor update news: The character progression was tweaked so that there is no longer a "starting role" quest to complete in order to begin the level with unlockable characters. Feedback wasn't great on that aspect, so it was removed. Unlockable characters now become "recruitable" by beating their main quest. They can then be changed to during the level by visiting a rest point. However, to start the level as the recruitable character, you will have to purchase them to completely unlock them. The other cool update is that the forest level now has fog and some new vegetation, as well as lighting improvements. The characters have been given a bit of an artistic makeover as well. Lastly you may see some new and improved user interface being introduced now through the next week or so! Enjoy!
- Demo+ v0.0.1.008 - 14 April 2025
Hey everyone! We’ve got a BIG update packed with new features, abilities, and some exciting changes to the class progression system. Let’s dive in! Swap Characters Mid-Level! You can now level up and switch characters during a run! Find campfires scattered around the realm to swap to unlocked characters. Character unlocks are based on level thresholds with prerequisite classes. Example – Want to play as the Knight? Start the level as a Squire, reach Level 10, and switch to Knight (after purchased) at a campfire. Or: Reach Level 30 as a Knight once to unlock it as a starting class permanently! Top-tier classes like Druid and Viking require multiple prerequisites, but they can also be unlocked as starters once you hit Level 30 with them. Class Abilities Reworked Each class now has 3 unique active abilities. Advanced classes can use and level up abilities from their prerequisite class. Pre…

- Demo_v0.0.1.004 Localization Update - 23 January 2025
Hello Survivors, In this latest patch we've just added 9 new languages (Spanish, French, Italian, German, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Russian)! Also made some minor UI adjustments: Players can now pick a preferred language in the title screen settings menu. UI sizing changed in some areas to accommodate added languages. Made a change to the quest completion notice to be a bit smaller with the option to read more information if desired. Players will know what they unlocked much faster now. If you speak one of the translated languages, please let us know if any of the translations seem off! Thank you everyone for the recent feedback. Now that localization is completed (well, some tweaking is expected, but its mostly done), will be moving onto a few other fixes, along with content updates. Too soon to say what content updates will make it to the demo vs what will be saved fo…
- Hot fix: Demo_v0.0.1.003 - 7 January 2025
Demo_v0.0.1.003 Update/Hot Fix Details: Hello Survivors, A few minor hot fixes: Fixed goblin bomb damage from triggering early before animation or indicator. Added version water-stamp to the top right Slightly decreased early EXP gain but increased later EXP gain to reduce game-play interruptions from frequent level up canvas pop ups. Will continue to monitor the feel for this. Fixed an issue that was freezing gameplay when all available abilities were maxed and then level up was not triggering reward pool at early progression levels. I had to pause localization development to implement the hot fixes above so there is partial localization implemented in the game with a few texts. The rest will be implemented soon barring any major hold ups. Please install the latest update for these changes to take effect. Thank you all for providing feedback to make the game better. Keep it coming!
