- Demo Patch Notes 0.7.0.2: New Incremental mode with a large Skill Tree - 17 September 2026
We've added a new Incremental mode to the demo. It's focused on build variety (thanks to a massive skill tree), experimentation, and a faster pace.What you can expect from the new modeBuild around up to 4 skills, each with its own branching upgrade tree. Grow your tower through a massive main tree of upgrades and talents. There are 328 nodes across the full tree to explore.Pick your own progression paths and shape the build as you go. You can't take everything, so every build comes with real choices. Failed attempts still move you forward. Gold and Talent Shards carry through deaths and wave retries. Respec whenever you want and try a different approach. Faster, more dynamic runs, with pressure from the very start.The idea is simple: more builds to discover, more ways to progress, and more reasons to start another run. Try out the new mode and let us know what you think here in the comm…
