- Lots of little changes - 20 July 2026
Hello everyone! I'm playing through Divided Reigns for the first time in a couple years and fixing things along the way as I see them. This update fixes the following: Bio Whip is too strong compared to the other elemental weapons. It was actually stronger than its upgraded version. lolBolt sword is a little stronger and gives the wielder a little magic power.There were too many chests! Lots of chests especially the small wooden chests have been removed across the game. Previously it felt almost impossible to run out of things like Tents or potions. Now you may have to buy a few here and there.Ring of Aggression message at the start of the battle now lasts for much less time.The Volatile Drifter messages in the Lightning Temple area have been fixed. They won't bombard you multiple times (Well the enemies will bombard you once if you let them explode, but I'm talking about the text boxes…
- Update notes for 6-29-26 - 29 June 2026
Another small update tweaking some minor things. The encounter rate has been lowered in several earlier game dungeons (Mt. Elban, Lake Zeben, Earth Temple, Rust Cave and temple, Eras-Bashi mts.) as well as the endgame extra dungeon the Choicemaker's Tomb (several battle traps were removed acrosss the dungeon).Ailfred's skill Rallying Cry now goes first in the round like it's supposed to.The Gassy Giant has been made slightly easier. The enemy skill Diseased Breath has a lower chance of inflicting most status effects, but the more severe ones were lowered significantly (stun, confusion, stone). That's it for now! You may have noticed I started updating Divided Reigns for the first time in a while. Is it possible I'm working toward finally completing the long awaited final endgame bonus dungeon? :-) -Andrew
- Update notes for 6-28-26 - 28 June 2026
Fixed a few bugs that have been reported by the community. Altered a few mechanics that were suggested and implemented for JRoguePG. Most notable are several skills like Phalanx, Counter Stance, Chain spin, etc. now go first in the round.I removed some chests that gave redundant equipment in the earlier dungeons. No one needs three Simple Greaves before Aldair. 😄I also lowered the encounter rate for a few areas. The most notable is the world map was lowered by about 18%

- Final freezing issue fixed! - 28 June 2024
There was one final nagging freeze in Divided Reigns that is now 100% fixed. I have been playing for 20-30 hours over the last couple months and not a single freeze. Enjoy! :-)
- Steam Deck Compatibility - 21 December 2023
After a lot of playtesting, we are pleased to announce Divided Reigns works perfectly with the Steam Deck... as long as you use Proton 7.0-6. Here is how to enable it on Steam Deck: On the game screen, select the gear icon on the right. Next go to Properties. Go down to Compatibility, turn on "Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool" and select Proton 7.0-6. That's it! I know this isn't ideal, but the issue seems to be with Proton compatibility and nw.js (basically the way the game is run), which is completely out of our hands. Hopefully they put out a new update for both so they behave together. Happy Adventuring! -Andrew
- 2 Years Old Price Change! Also minor update. - 3 April 2023
Divided Reigns is now 2 years old! To celebrate, it is now permanently $9.99! (If it still shows $14.99, it should change in the next 24 hours). We just pushed a minor update addressing several bugs our players have found over the last few months. Thank you for everyone who posts bugs in the discussion board. We appreciate you so much! Fairly major change: We disabled the "fps limiter" function because it seemed to be causing crashes for some players. This is the option to limit the fps to 60 to prevent the game from running too fast on faster hz monitors. However... I have a 144hz monitor and it still seems to run at 60 fps without this option. ¯\(º_o)/¯ Please let us know... 1. if your crashing has stopped, and 2. if you now have issues with the game running too fast. (You should be able to change your monitor's refresh rate to 60 if you need to... but that is a crappy fix) The final…
- Minor update - 14 September 2022
We plugged that hole! The memory leak is OFFICIALLY plugged! You *should* not crash any more after extended periods of play. In order to do this, I had to do some deep code work, so please let us know if you find any bugs as a result. I can't playtest the whole game at the drop of a hat. ;-) Automatic Fullscreen I don't have a Steam Deck to playtest on, but a friend of mine does! A special and genuine thank you to my best childhood friend CrispyPigParts for the help. DR works fine naturally with the Steam Deck except one thing: "Press F4 for fullscreen"........... you can't press F4 on the Steam Deck! To fix this, now DR just starts in fullscreen. Easy Peasy! I just saved you about .002 of a calorie by not having to reach up to hit the F4 key every time you play. You're welcome. Because of the above, now... Steam Deck Supported! I mean... it's just word of mouth and more play testing ne…
- Memory Leak Fixed!!! - 7 September 2022
Divided Reigns has had a bug since launch that we thought was unfixable. However, after receiving another negative review from the game crashing, we decided to do more research into the issue. We found a newly discovered possible fix and tested it and it seemed to work! Let us know if your game crashes after playing for a while, but.. *fingers crossed* we think it's fixed!
- Minor bug fixes, new accessory, some tweaked skills - 21 July 2022
Hey everyone! We have been fixing more bugs over the last few weeks. This update addresses several including the Gassy Giant bug, the Void Horror now (finally) working correctly, and others that were reported by the community. Thank you! Some tweaks to skills: the strongest spells in the game have been buffed in power slightly. This includes, Conflagration, Upheaval, Nuke, Nuke Area, Astral Fury, Phoenix, Nidhoggr, Desecration, and Vitriolic Cascade. This should help magic users keep up in damage output a little better late game. Also Masret's skill formerly known as True Strike is now called "Bolster Offense." A complaint some players had is there are too few ways to increase magic power during battle. Masret's skill now increases Attack and Magic by 20%. Enjoy! In another attempt to address the issue described above, a new accessory has been introduced fairly early in the game in Wilt…
- Multitudinous Minor Changes - 22 June 2022
I'm finishing up a Very Hard difficulty playthrough and this update is fixing all the tiny issues I found along the way. A few gameplay changes were made, but all were minor. Some abilities like Masret's True Strike now lasts 5 rounds instead of 3. Orson's traps last 5 rounds, are a little stronger, and remove other traps on the character so you can't pile them up. Shakar's Sneak Attack is slighly stronger. Most of the changes were small graphical issues, spelling or other text-based mistakes, or tiny bug fixes. There's a new enemy in the Vooresh sewers that appears pretty rarely, though you can't get back to that location once you've completed it. The Void Horror around Virion's Castle is now possible to battle (oops). Go see if you can beat it and get the unique item it gives you! Enjoy!
- One year anniversary of DR release! - 2 April 2022
One Year Anniversary! It's hard to believe Divided Reigns is already one year old. To celebrate, we're permanently lowering the price to $14.99 USD. Thank you to everyone who's purchased our game, supported us, and written a review. We do this for you and we have been overwhelmed with your positive feedback. We've started working on the first of nine new endgame quests--one for each main character. First up is Celeste! In her quest you will find out who won last year's fencing tournament, participate in this year's tournament, address the issues with Celeste's parents, and finally learn what those gem fragments are for! Update Specifics A fairly minor update is live today. A special thanks to use Mechalibur and my father for finding and reporting several bugs and typos. Gall's world and battle sprites have been updated to more accurately represent Lunali's full-size art The two Mace wea…
- Expanded Ralts skills, New 100RP animation, rebalanced Sneak Attack, and more! - 16 January 2022
New Ralts weapon enchantment skills Ralts' weapon enchanting skills have never really worked how they were originally planned. They were supposed to increase base attack by 10% and make EVERY attack done with that character the element of choice. However, if the attack had a type to it, the type of attack overwrote the element attack. Example: Ralts enchants Shakar's weapons with fire. Shakar does a weak attack... it's fire elemental! Yey. Shakar does a Sneak Attack. Since it has no attack type, it's fire elemental. Yey. However, if she does a side attack, reach attack, etc. all of those will NOT be fire elemental because the type of the attack takes precedence. While this is still the case, to make up for it there are now 3 new skills that go with each elemental enchantment! They are as follows: 20RP - Attack - About as strong as a strong type attack but with a small chance to inflict…

- The Choicemaker's Tomb is open! - 17 November 2021
Our biggest update ever is here! The bonus endgame dungeon The Choicemaker's Tomb is now open! Level cap increased to 120 The level cap has been increased from 99 to 120. This will let you enjoy leveling up your party members in the new dungeon even if you were previously maxed. One thing to note, if you had previously power-leveled and had more experience than the 99 cap allowed, your xp will be reset to 99 as soon as you go to the world map, the final dungeon, or into the Choicemaker's Tomb. The Choicemaker's Tomb As promised pre-launch, our first of two super hard endgame dungeons is now complete and open for you to explore. It is the biggest dungeon in the game (even bigger than the final dungeon). Expect to be pushed to your limits strategically in the battles and intellectually in the puzzles of the dungeon. How to get there The quest that leads you to the Choicemaker's Tomb start…
- The Choicemaker's Tomb is about to open! - 4 October 2021
The MASSIVE endgame dungeon The Choicemaker's Tomb is complete and in beta testing. Expect it any day now! Get those Mythril Greatswords and Rings of Aggression ready, because it is HARD! Developer: *Maniacal laugh* What to expect: The biggest dungeon in the game by far Tons of new enemies all of which are difficult and require a unique strategy to defeat Tons of new powerful unique equipment A new 1v1 battle Half of the dungeon requires three parties to complete Massive tie-in with our previous game Einlanzer
- Bug fixes and small equipment rebalancing - 19 July 2021
Hello Adventurers! This patch addresses bugs that have been brought up by the community. Thank you for everyone who reported bugs in the discussion board. Both my and Adam's personal lives have been very busy recently, so thank you for being patient with us getting around to fixing them. Some specific bugs Many minor bugs and grammar mistakes are being fixed in this update, but here are some of the more notable ones. - Before, the spells Phoenix and Nidhoggr would use the command "force action" to do the secondary effect of the spells. If your character had another action coming via Time Flux, Haste, etc., it would cancel the next actions. Now, the secondary action these spells cause happens at the end of the round. This does change the strategy with these spells a tiny bit. - Dual Thrust now does both attacks like it's supposed to. - Margaret in Kairon should now be gone as intended. A…
- The Alchemist Update - 1 July 2021
The next update is here bringing you new unique items, a skill animation, bug fixes, art, and more! Details below. Auto Potion Accessories Let me introduce you to a new accessory type: the Auto Potion! When you equip one of these accessories, if that character has less than 100% HP at the end of the round (or MP for the Auto Ether), the respective item is used automatically! Be careful of your item reserves, because these accessories can gobble up your items quite quickly if you don't have a large stockpile. These are potentially quite powerful accessories. Therefore, there are only one of each type in the game. There are five versions in all. All have been placed through the progression of the game and in a way that if you're past that area in the story, you can go back later and acquire each. Auto First Aid - Can be found on one of the dead ends in Wilton Woods. Auto Potion - Can be f…
- Two new difficulties! - 30 May 2021
We've received several negative reviews now saying the game is too hard. This update aims to address these complaints by giving more options and control to the player over the difficulty of the game. Below are the specifics, but to summarize... Regular difficulty is now slightly easier (via slightly more HP, Defense, and Magic Defense) New "Story Mode" difficulty for people who just enjoy the story and don't want to worry about battles New "Very Hard" difficulty for people who want an even greater challenge than Hard offered (and a new accompanying Very Hard achievement) Chickens in every town to permanently lower your difficulty if desired. New Difficulty Selection Screen On a new game, you'll notice a snazzy new difficulty selection screen. I tried to summarize each difficulty mode in as simple of terms as possible without getting into the specifics and overwhelming a new player. Slig…
- Battle Stuttering Fixed! - 12 May 2021
This is a very small update mostly addressing one specific problem: hitching/stuttering in battle. After a lot of experimenting, I discovered the tumble effect that happens on the damage popup was causing the slowdown. It's sad because I really liked the tumbling damage, but it had to go. A couple other small changes: For Gall's Ki abilities, the magic attack ratio is even higher now. Put some items on him that raise magic attack and see how powerful he gets! :-) Most HP Regen items and skills got a buff. They were useless before. Notably Regen Rings now add a little base HP and the regen effect was increased by 5% each. Also, Habar's Regeneration skill was increased from 10% each round to 20%! That's it for today! Please take a moment to write a review of Divided Reigns. It helps tremendously! Happy Adventuring! -Andrew
