- Roguelike FPS Polygod leaves Early Access tomorrow - 16 August 2018
Polygod is a randomly-generated roguelike FPS about a Faceless One, a legendary assassin with one arm who must prove himself to the seven deities by fighting through their arenas and defeating their Holy Champions in order to ascend to godhood. It features a colorful, minimalist visual style and a "brutal difficulty curve," and after nearly two years on Steam Early Access it will go into full release tomorrow.  The Faceless One also only has one gun, but he can improve it (and himself) in numerous interesting ways with Blessings, more than 100 character and weapon upgrades that can be purchased with the souls stolen from your fallen enemies. Co-op and competitive multiplayer modes are supported, and levels (including the Blessings) are "seeded," so they can be shared with other players for leaderboard competition.    And it is as difficult as billed: I played the Early Ac…
- News from Krafted! - 11 July 2018
Hello Polygod Community! We at Krafted Games wanted to give an update on where we disappeared to for the last few months. Fear not! We have not forgotten about you. Over the last few months we have had our heads down working on getting Polygod ready for the Xbox One and Nintendo Switch. This unfortunately led to our wonderful Steam build getting neglected. However, this does not mean that Polygod development has been standing still. The game has been continuously worked on in the interim with our team trying our utmost to get this game as balanced and polished as possible. Updates will be coming soon so we ask for a bit more patience. Within the next couple of weeks we will be announcing a release date which we are extremely excited about seeing as it has been a 2 and a half year journey. Thank you for being such a dedicated community! :)
- Saved seeds + Bug Fixes! - 9 March 2018
Hey everyone! Today's update is a rather small one with just a few fixes and one new feature: a seed-saving system. You can now save seeds that you like through the pause menu in-game, and the death screen. Your saved seeds are accessible in the Saved Seeds menu which is in the New Game menu. We hope you find this addition useful. As always, any and all feedback is welcome! Patch Notes Bug Fixes Fixed a bug where Second Self would not respawn you at the start of the dungeon in some levels. Fixed a bug where you could not walk under the gun parts at the altars in level 5. Fixed a bug where the level 7 floors were red and white instead of black and white. Fixed a bug where having Indomitable Will and Trigger Happy would double the rate of fire increase when Trigger Happy was active. Fixed a bug in the acquire blessing randomness system. Added Content Added the gun parts to the boss altars…
- NPC Update + Bug Fixes - 26 February 2018
Hey everyone! Today’s update has something special in store for any player who’s ever been curious about the strange little folk in the Polyverse… That’s right, we’d added new NPC content! Dr Dando, everyone’s favourite nutty Zoologist, has some new information about the creatures in Polygod, and if you’re lucky, a tale about the origins of Faceless the First. It turns out he’s quite a chatty guy. Maya’s got some new musings, too, on her preferred topic of... you guessed it: FREEDOM! But will she ever actually be free as a bee? (Hint: yes. We game devs took pity on her and made it so.) If you care to chat to the other NPCs, I’m sure you’ll spot a new line here or there, or perhaps a pun that would even make Faceless facepalm. We've also changed the sizes of the levels: they no longer get bigger as you progress through the game. They're all the same size as the first level. Let us know h…
- Small Update with some fixes. - 13 December 2017
Just a small patch with some bug fixes and one small addition. Patch Notes Bug Fixes Fixed a bug where using a controller in the Death Screen would not show what the player has selected. Fixed a bug where Blessed are the Meek would show up incorrectly in the pause menu. Fixed a bug where Simple Sinner would not show up in Levels 2 and beyond. Fixed a bug wheree Simple Sinner would not activate correctly in normal Boss Fights. Fixed a bug in Splitscreen where the Mouse Sensitivity would default to 0. Added Content All blessings now add a part to your gun when bought.
- Watch a new trailer for Polygod, a 'minimalist rogue-like FPS' coming next year - 6 December 2017
Polygod, a "minimalist rogue-like FPS," reminds me a lot of Lovely Planet , with two scoops of Heavy Bullets thrown in for good measure—and a lot more bullets flying around. The gameplay is fairly straightforward: Battle as far as you can through randomly generated levels, empower your avatar with various good/bad upgrades, die, and do it again. But I really like its bright, untextured visual style (the music is pretty great too), and while it starts off fairly slowly, the action becomes frantic in a real hurry.    There's a narrative element to it as well that I find interesting. You play as "Faceless the Blessed," an assassin caught up in the brutal Trial of the Gods. There's a sheen of mysticism to it, including a handful of oddball characters to chat with (although some of them aren't terribly social) and profound-sounding messages here and there, tha…
- Balance Changes and Special Blessings! - 6 December 2017
Today's patch is quite a large one where we have fixed a few bugs, improved the balance of the game and added two special state blessings which cannot be bought and can only be achieved by meeting specific requirements. However we are very excited to introduce the new content and fixes to the community! Blessed are the Meek Blessed are the Meek is a blessings bestowed to you by Truth who will increase your damage if your are on a level with a particularly under-powered weapon. We implemented this change to balance for players who received unfair or unworkable seeds due to a lack of base fire power. this also allows players to ride out weaker builds to a later stage in the game where they can acquire the damage at which blessed are the meek will no longer be active. Simple Sinner Simple sinner was created to encourage hardcore player and speed runners. After beating the first Holy Champi…
- New Artstyle and Boss Fight Fixes! - 6 October 2017

- Big Balance Changes + Bug Fixes and some Polish! - 4 August 2017
Hello everyone, today's patch has a bunch of balance changes designed to make some of the blessings which are chosen less often more viable. We have also added a bunch of new visual effects to make the results of what a blessing does more clear.

- Massive Multiplayer Update! - 6 June 2017
Today I'm very excited to bring you our largest and longest in development update yet! This update is all about Jolly Co-operation as we've finally completed the much requested Co-Op multiplayer option while also improving and polishing our multiplayer versus mode and other multiplayer features. Co-operative Multiplayer Players must work together to gather souls and acquire blessings in order to defeat the Holy Champions. The gods will offer the same blessings to players at a particular altar however if another player takes a particular blessing it will not be removed from the blessings on offer from the god. This is because the Gods can bestow infinite blessings and are not limited by mortals choices. Up to 4 players can play together in Co-Operative mode. The following blessings have been left out of Co-Op for complexity reasons and will be added in a future update: Whirlwind Shot, St…
