• Trinket Rate Up - Beta v0.4.3 - 23 August 2026

  Hey all. This patch introduces a new 'rate up' feature while drafting so you get more skills which synergize with your trinkets. This is also intended to help new players, since it acts as a recommended pick. You only get a small amount of these offered per trinket. I also wanted to iron out the way the Turning Timepiece duplicate works to be as fun and versatile as possible, because it's a mechanic we will see more of in the future.One last significant thing was a revision of the Wild Tempest event. This event offers 2 skills, each with a random fusion. The random part made it very unlikely to be useful, so I spent time going through every skill and hand picking a set fusion they appear with in this event. This process also resulted in some bonus skill changes. There is likely some synergies you hadn't considered previously lurking in this event now.Beta v0.4.3:GeneralAll skill drafts…

• Early Game Rework - Beta v0.4.2 - 3 August 2026

  Hey all.

• Skill Adjustments and Fixes - Beta v0.3.94 - 21 June 2026

  Hey all. These changes were going to come alongside the upcoming content patch, but there were some bugs to squash, so I figured why wait. The content patch is likely to be ready early next month and will feature 4 new tribes and 2 new skill elements.Beta v0.3.94:GeneralFrost now reduces by 20% stacks per skill use, instead of always 3. The Vigor blessing now reduces Time on skills by 2% per stack instead of 3%.Skill ChangesDeadeye's secondary effect Energy cost reduced to 2, down from 3.Crystal Coffin now increases damage by 10% per energy, up from 5%.Creeping Cold's primary effect now also duplicates an Injury.Creeping Cold's secondary effect now adds Frost based on Range instead of Area.Flash Freeze now applies Permafrost when the enemy is affected instead of at the end.Thunderclap now grants Vigor instead of Shroud.Death Surge's secondary effect now heals 10 HP for each Hit, up from…

• Select a starting trinket! - Beta v0.3.9 - 23 May 2026

  Hey all. There's 2 new features coming with this update.The 1st is a new HP display for the hero during combat. It is much more prominent than the standard HP bar, making it easier to view.The 2nd new feature is the ability to select any trinket to start with (as long as you have seen it before). This is done in the 'start run' window before playing, and replaces the initial trinket draft. To encourage variance, in the future there will be achievements for completing a task with each trinket.This update also simplifies the 'mastery effect' by converting it to a 2nd trinket you start with. All of the effects are still the same, but they now come with a bonus upgrade objective like any other trinket.Beta v0.3.9:GeneralThere is a new HP display for the hero during combat.You can now choose a trinket to start with from the 'start run' window.The 'mastery effect' has been converted to a trin…

• Combat Log - Patch Notes - Beta v0.3.7 - 12 May 2026

  Beta v0.3.7:Hey all. This patch introduces the long awaited combat log. It can be accessed using the new tabs on the right of the screen during a run.Tab 1: The default information about the hero. Nothing new here.Tab 2: Displays your damage, shielding, and healing during your last (or current) combat.Tab 3: Displays the damage dealt to you during your last (or current) combat.Tab 4: Displays a snapshot of Tab 1 at the end of your last combat. This allows you to check what your remaining HP was or what effects you had active.When combat starts, Tab 1 will automatically be swapped to, and when combat ends, Tab 2 will be swapped to. This behaviour can be changed in the settings.Thanks everyone for waiting on this important feature.

• Patch Notes - Beta v0.3.6 - 28 April 2026

  Hey all. Just fixing some small things before the damage log update - expect that coming up next.Beta v0.3.6:GeneralThe map events which draft from a selected keyword now have a refined pool that is more accurate to that keyword - eg. 'Summons ally' won't include Shackle, which mentions summons but doesn't actually create any.The compendium now has additional options to filter within each keyword. This is intended to help locate specific things, like which skills have energy gain on their secondary effect.A backup save has been implemented in case a save file ever becomes damaged.Bug FixesFixed getting stuck on a black screen if you change a setting on the end of run screen.Several prompts now change to match a new key binding.Dale.Join us on the Official Discord

• Summons & Structures Rework - Patch Notes - Beta v0.3.4 - 10 April 2026

  Hey all. Another chunky patch.Ticking off a bunch of 'to do's as well as a rework of Summons and Structures. I've delayed any enemy rebalancing to the next patch.

• Primal Rework and More! - Beta v0.3.0 - 24 March 2026

  Hey all. Today I'm excited to share a big patch. A common frustration I have seen is that losing is often very sudden, with no time being given to recover and adjust. That is why loss of Primal will now cap at 500 in non-boss encounters. If you reach this point, a new animation will play and the enemy will be instantly slain. This gives an opportunity to learn and continue on, while still receiving some punishment.Beta v0.3.0:Primal ReworkPrimal loss is now capped at 500 in non-boss combats, at which point it will trigger a victory. In light of the new feature, starting Primal has been reduced from 2000 > 1500.The primal orb now has an aura when you are protected, and a new skull face will change its mood.Primal lost in combat is now shown on the rewards screen.The tutorial has been adjusted to mention the new Primal mechanic.GeneralThere is now a max number of skills: 16 (not including…
