- Boltcraft II is now available for free! - 20 September 2024
After almost 2 years, Boltcraft II is finally here. This new project aims to bring new elements to the gameplay style that was already introduced in the first game and fix things that came from the first. Now the maps are created with procedural generation, making each game unique because the seed will always be random. There is also the new collectible weapons system where combat can change drastically throughout a single game. The balancing system has also been changed, previously in Boltcraft there was only Ability Power to scale with the characters' powers, because ALL classes were considered derivatives of MAGICIANS. Now, since the classes are better divided, there are two attributes to scale power, Physical Power and Magical Power. Speaking of classes, there are now 4 classes in the game (Warrior, Hunter, Mage and Rogue) each with 3 specializations, totaling 12 specializations ava…

- Boltcraft II - DEMO version available December 30, 2023! - 3 December 2023
Hello! I'd like to thank everyone who took a chance and played Boltcraft on Steam! This is a kind of project that I'm doing as a hobby and because of my love for top-down action games. Every new person who gives my game a chance makes me very happy and I really don't know how to thank them! I started this new project at the end of last year, with the aim of taking the current Boltcraft mechanics and improving them, with the aim of making the game look more polished and coherent. During this year I managed to work on this new project and you will be able to see part of this result later this year, on December 30, 2023! Boltcraft II now includes procedural generation maps, fog of war, difficulty modes, hardcore, weapons and much more! The new version is in the DEMONSTRATION phase and I invite everyone to give feedback on what can be improved or implemented, on the day of launch I will be…

Fan of Knives Level: 3 Gold cost: 1600 Cooldown: 3.5 seconds Energy cost: 90 The user flings a flurry of knives (9 projectiles) dealing 72 + 12% AP physical damage.

- v1.31e - Improvements - 31 July 2022
Spells: Starfall Cast range: 0 (melee) -> 400 Developer comment: We believe the skill can have much more potential as a ranged skill. Telekinesis Now change unit color to indicates push effect. Developer comment: This makes it much easier to see which units have been affected by telekinesis. Fire Bomb Energy cost: 100 -> 80 Poison Bomb Energy cost: 100 -> 80 Developer comment: The cost of the skill was too high for what the effect provides. Void Ray Energy cost: 300 -> 350 Developer comment: Void Ray has one of the highest damage potentials in the game, we believe that increasing its energy cost makes its use of the skill more limited. Enemies: Wraith Geokinesis Cooldown: 1.00 -> 2.00 seconds Replaced Bind of Fear by Drowsy Bubble Developer comment: Wraith had a very powerful kit for the early regions of the game, we're taking some of his power away.
