- HexWind Update 40: A Dashing Good Time - 21 September 2025
Hey VR die-hards. We're back with Update 40, a new enemy, an updated world and some help to keep you at the top of your Chaos battling game. Let's get into it. New Chaos RecruitsThe forces of Chaos picked up a new recruit this week. He's lean (well he's a skeleton), he's mean and he carries a massive shield. Lookout for new skeleton baddies carrying large shields that are unbreakable with weapons or spells. The only way through is with the force of your powerful dash attack. Drive your magical punch through one of these shields to break it into pieces. Then dispatch the enemy left behind with maximum prejudice. Careful, though, as these guys know how to use their shield for both offense and defense. The Inquisitor Goes Back To SchoolWhat's that? You don't remember how to dash you say? No problem. Now you can go ahead and replay the tutorial anytime by starting it from the pause menu so…
- Hexwind Update 39: All That Glitters - 9 September 2025
Score Multipliers We took a look at our scoring mechanic and wanted to reward you not only for how many minions of Chaos you can cut down but also how you do it. We are embarking on a few changes to scoring that will hopefully make it more fun and rewarding to battle in different ways. The first update this week rewards players for accuracy and consistency. For each consecutive attack you land without getting hit, your multiplier builds, granting you bigger and bigger score rewards for each successful attack. Miss your mark and your multiplier gets knocked down a small amount. Take damage and you are reset back to 1. Progression Balance Part II In Update 38 we began some changes to mission progression for a smoother ramp up in difficulty. In Update 39 we have adjusted the length of some missions in earlier acts to help with this. Now you will hopefully have a surprise for Lochmog when y…

This update he turned his talented and ever critical eye on expanding the work he has been doing in the Fire World. You will see a number of new environments with beautiful unique crafted pieces that only could have been forged in the devastating heat of the Fire World. A Surprise For Your Enemies The Inquisitor has a new trick up his sleeve. As you accumulate score in your battle against Chaos, your score meter in the HUD fills up getting you closer to the next rarity tier for your reward when completing an act. Now, when you get enough points to achieve a new rarity tier in battle you will instantly fire off a massive wave of devastating magic, laying waste to any enemies around you. They ne…
