Usurper: Soulbound

Revamped Combat and Magic

Caspian Interactive

Hello brave Usurpers,

Here comes a new update which includes enhancements, tweaks, and bug fixes all designed to refine the player's experience. A key highlight of this update is a major improvement in the combat system's responsiveness, thanks to a revamped input buffer. On top of that, the magic system has been made more combat-friendly and an easier method for selecting magic scrolls has been added in.

Without further ado, here are the specifics:

Improvements

  • Responsive Combat System: We've improved the games input buffer to give you more precision and responsiveness in combat. Feel the difference with every button press!
  • Quicker Magic Casting: Your spells will now cast faster, making them easier to use, even in the heat of battle.
  • Effortless Scroll Selection: We've made selecting magic scrolls a lot more convenient. Say goodbye to arrow keys and hello to mouse selection!
  • More Dialogue: We've added more dialogue to the cultists and the vendor, making your interactions more immersive.
  • Easier Prologue/Tutorial: Based on your feedback, we've tuned down the difficulty of the prologue, making it a smoother start for new players.
  • Useful Hints: To keep you engaged during load times, we've added more useful hints on the loading screen.

Bug fixes

  • Camera Switch Issue: Fixed a bug where the camera would not switch correctly when players exited a scene with the Usurper Dagger.
