- Creatures on level 1-9 got a little bit tougher - 4 September 2026
When I first released the game, I made the creatures on level 1-9 a little weaker. They were nerfed! Now that the game allows potions, wands, and scrolls, along with 2 attribute points per level, I have removed this nerf. This makes the first few levels challenging still, and will require some thought and care in order to beat these early levels. Here's some more notes on what I recently changed: Combat & classes • Assassins (cut-throats) shoot and Shadow Strike more often; Parry and Shadow Skin last longer. • Mending now scales with level and magic power (capped at 20). • Early potions deal more dice and stronger debuffs. • Elite / commander rating bonuses are full strength on every floor. • Spawned creatures apply rank health correctly after max HP/energy is set. This will slightly increase enemy hit points. • Creature AI only uses activated abilities (no more picking passives as if t…
- Update To Assassin Skills and Other Fixes - 2 September 2026
Tower of Eglathia — Patch Notes Fixes • Keyboard-aimed shots (wands, thrown items, Ranger abilities) now fly along the direction you pick. They no longer jump to a nearby enemy off to the side. • Friendly NPCs (including Lord Eglathia) are no longer treated as combat targets. Area attacks will not hit them. • Fixed a crash that could happen when loading or continuing after death, when the HUD tried to draw before it was ready. Ranger / Assassin • Aimed Shot, Double Shot, and Poison Shot now pierce 25% of the target’s armor. • Executor now also grants 5% armor penetration and 5 life steal rating per rank. This should help with assassin survivability. • Ranger’s Poison still reads as acid, but the ticks ignore magical resistance so high-resist enemies no longer shrug them off. Armor still does not reduce those ticks. Enemy poison is unchanged. • Numb is a proper dart: it fires as a projec…
- Big Updates Just Arrived - 28 August 2026
I've been hard at work on making more updates to Tower of Eglathia. The game is more immersive now, with torches lining the dungeon walls, paintings hung by the demon himself, and water tiles that I will eventually populate with the occasional sea creature. Torches and water are animated. Combat is also animated. The player will lunge at enemies they attack and enemies attacking in melee range will do the same. This gives the game a more immersive feel. All windows forms popups are gone and the game is getting close to having a build ready for Linux and Mac. I've also been updating how levels are generated, giving the game a more true rogue-like feel without the predictable levels that I had in the list to be generated from. The game is truly procedural now. There's a couple other surprises that I hope you'll find enjoyable. Enjoy!
- Torches and other environmental effects are coming - 21 August 2026
Torches and a wave of living environmental effects are on the way. Watch the flames dance, hear them crackle, and feel the world come alive with new animations and immersive sounds. The darkness won’t stand a chance.
- Patch 2.1.0 - Getting Ready For Mac and Linux - 19 August 2026
I made a huge update to the game recently, overhauling the entire user interface and getting rid of the separate popup forms. It was a much needed change and the game now uses a user interface that is cross platform for multiple operating systems.The next phase of this update is to get builds ready for Macintosh and Linux. In the mean time, I also made some quality of life improvements, such as scaling the window to the sizable screen so things look nice even on a huge monitor, and when you are shopping, you can use "Shift+Left Click" to sell items to the shop without having to confirm the sale. If the shop is full you will get a popup rejecting the sale.I fixed a few bugs and other issues, too, but would love to let me know what you think about it. Hooray for not having all those extra annoying popups!

- Top 1,000 Leaderboard Now Live - 8 July 2026
I recently made an update to Tower of Eglathia to list the top 1,000 heroes who died in hardcore mode. You'll see this on the Wall of Heroes. It will be sorted by score - the higher level up you go, and the more you do in the game, the higher your score will be. I'm excited to see what shows up. Your character will be recorded with all their stats, items, skills used, and more when you die. I'll continue to work on this feature and am open to suggestions for it!
- Commanders at Patch 2.0.6 - 20 January 2026
