- Steam Deck™ Verified! - 18 July 2023
Hello, everyone! Good news: We have updated Critadel to fully support the Steam Deck™! Now you can play Critadel on the go, anywhere and anytime. With the Steam Deck controls, it plays just as you would play it with a controller on your PC. Here are some of the key changes that were made to accommodate the Steam Deck hardware: Fixed the issue that caused the game to stutter when a player uses the volume buttons on Steam Deck Addressed the issue of text legibility by adding a Text Font Size Adjustment option (press the “hamburger” icon button on the Steam Deck -> select the “cog” icon -> adjust the bar next to “Language,” above “Confirm Button”) Note: With this patch installed, the game will auto-detect when a controller is connected to your PC and force the game into “controller” mode. If you want to play with a keyboard and mouse, simply disconnect your controller. We wish you all good…

- Critadel - Synergy - 7 September 2021
Hello everyone, and welcome back for the second weekly post about Critadel! This week we'll take a look at one of the key game mechanics in Critadel: It's called Synergy. As you make your way to the top of the tower, you will find all different kinds of weapons with different attributes. Let’s say you've picked up these weapons and saved them in your inventory. Please take a closer look at the colored icons under each weapon. As described in the previous post, these icons represent the weapon “types.” What’s important here is how many weapons you have in your inventory with matching types. For example, do you see the gold icon with three bullets? That's the "Rifle" type. In this inventory screen shot, there are six weapons with that type. Now let’s take a look at the synergy list. As you can see, each type has different effects. For example, the "Rifle" type synergy gives a rate-of-fire…
- Critadel - Weapons, Attachments & Items - 24 August 2021
Hello everyone! Welcome to the first of our weekly Critadel posts! Today we'd like to introduce you to some of the various items in Critadel. There are three different kinds: weapons, attachments and artifacts. Let's take a closer look and see how they work. In Critadel, there are number of different weapons to discover. Each weapon has a letter rank, either B, A or S. As you may have guessed, S-rank weapons will be better than weapons in the A group, and A is better than B. Each weapon is also very unique, and we're certain that you'll have a lot of fun playing around with them. Here are some examples of the weapons you will find in the game. In addition to the rank, each weapon description includes a type such as "Normal," "Rifle," "Burn," etc. The weapon type tells you how the weapon functions. Does the description indicate that your weapon is a "Rifle" type? Then you can go full-aut…
