Patch 1.08

2024-10-29

This small patch is just to address some special combinations of upgrades that could soft lock the game in rare instances. • Fixed an issue where a combination of cursed boons could prevent the Burden of Restraint from being completed • Fixed an issue with Summoning Tree (necromancy) and certain Snow Guard and frost talents that could create a near endless loop of summons when bosses were supposed to spawn.

The game is cute and all but the play area is so small and you really dont get that much each time you play so you have to grind and grind is not wrong but when you have do it ALOT to get any benefits its a chore. Sorry not recommended. Last words: The game is a bit confusing at times as you dont understand the perks etc. Also the game dont support UltraWide screens so be prepared for black borders. :(

The depth of build options in these games is insane. There's a seemingly endless possibility of skill combinations to try out. I also really appreciate the difficulty level of Lefcourt's games. While it's fun...
