Greetings, adventurers!

In the last few months we have been testing and running our beta, and it is time to update our public tactical demo to our current, more advanced beta code.

This is still a tactical-only demo, with no world map gameplay and other beta-exclusive content, but it can give you a solid idea of where we are heading in terms of combat gameplay.

We’d love to hear your thoughts in our Steam communities or our development forum.

New Features:

• Tactical usable potions of various types (Health, Speed, Action point).

• More Village map variants are now procedurally generated.

• New combat HUD and IUI.

• Added many new tooltips.

• Hit chance and shot breakdown available.

• New Models: Goblin Scout, Goblin Raider, Goblin Shaman, Troll.

• Updated hero models (Mage, Savage).

• New base animations (Cover and some attacks).

• New abilities: Charge, Vortex, Rain, Bloodlust, Radiant Beacon.

• Added destruction visuals.

Balance:

• Control Zone added - ranged units cannot fire when melee units are adjacent to them.

• Removed ‘Triple Slash’ from Savage.

• Levels require more XP to gain.

• Temporarily disabled feature randomizing starting hero stats - this will return post balancing.
