Few Shall Return

Jun 12 Demo Update

Ballard Games

Greetings, dungeon delvers!

We're excited to push our final build before Next Fest. Yes, we're going in Next Fest!

Boss difficulty

If you recall, a few weeks ago we released Relics which are special, unique items that you find on the map. They cannot be taken out of the map for future games, but if you find one of them, they give you some serious buffs for that game. Until today, relics were just for players.

We're changing that: relics are now linked to the boss. Until players find them, the boss is connected to the relics and gets their power . So, you can try to rush for the boss and YOLO it, or you can do a bit of exploration to weaken the boss first -- both are valid approaches!

As long as the boss has a shield around them, they're still connected to one or more relics. Use the lightning to figure out where the connected Relics are.

New ROSTER editor (part 2)

Last week, we introduced item rarities with the caveat that you couldn't see, outside of the game, what items you had. In this update, we're showing both in-game and in the roster what each item is and what makes it special:

Room revamps

Some of the rooms have been fully revamped! This is just the start, and over the next few weeks, you'll see more rooms getting some much-needed attention.

New LANGUAGES (part 4)

Over the last few weeks we've localized the game.

Last, but not least, today we're announcing support for Korean.

Other notable changes

  • There are many new sound effects!
  • We fixed a bug where you could pick up multiple items with a single button click
  • The incapacitated time for characters was reduced from 6 hours to 30 minutes
  • Some enemies had their difficulty adjusted

What's Next?

Next week we'll be in Next Fest so there will be no update. Once Next Fest is over, we're going to announce our new roadmap!

As always, please share your thoughts on Discord and follow us on social media:
