Version 1.1.0 is now live and comes with lots of improvements!

New Stuff

• New biome for Raids: The Underground. Descend into the palace’s undercroft and uncover the secrets hidden within.
• Achievements: We have introduced a new system with over 60 challenges to unlock throughout the game! In the Sanctuary, a mural showcases all your achievements. Who will be the first to complete them all?
• Complete redesign of the first Boss combat: Without giving any spoilers, the new combat will require you to use all the powers of the Wind Stone to defeat the captain!
• New enemy: Abyssal Tiger. A powerful feline from the deepest hells. Be careful, because when it gets angry it’s bites and claws are lethal!
• Voice over updates: Re-recorded Captain voice-over.
• Separated Parkour and Combat Difficulty: Are you great at combat but keep falling every time you have to jump? Or maybe you’re a true wall-runner, but fights feel like a struggle? Now, parkour and combat have separate difficulty settings, so you can tailor your gameplay experience to what suits you best.
• New Parkour Assistance System: On the easiest parkour difficulty, you’ll get some help in the trickiest sections, courtesy of good old Alshain. As he likes to say: Even the strongest wings need a breeze to lift them.
• Combined use of the Wind and the Water Stone: From now on, if you point the Hook at the water and you have the Water Stone in your possession, it will freeze without having to change stones. This will make parkour much more agile in areas with a lot of water.

Improvements

• Weak Points: To reward skilled combat, landing a strong parry on an enemy will reveal some of their weak points. That’s your cue to strike!
• Belt disabled while climbing: This will prevent you from accidentally grabbing a weapon. This option already existed, but now it will be selected by default. You can always deactivate it in the Settings panel.
• Hydra Minor Combat Tweaks: We’ve fixed clipping issues and reduced its life bar on Easy difficulty.
• More Attack Animations: We’ve added more variety to enemy attack animations, new ways to cut you down, crush you, and murder you. So every death feels like a fresh experience.
• End-of-Level Summary: At the end of each level, you’ll easily see how much experience and gold you’ve earned, how many collectibles you’ve found, and how many prisoners you’ve freed.
• Early Raid Activation: From now on, you can start enjoying Raids as soon as you obtain the Wind Stone, at least in the Palace biome. For the Underworld biome, you’ll need the Water Stone.
• More Alshain: We know the hero’s journey can be lonely, and this talking falcon makes great company. So we’ve added more interactions from our feathered friend to help motivate you on this grand adventure. 🐦
• Lots of Coins: We’ve added more loot and gold. Plus, you’ll now find generous piles of coins that will fly straight into your hand with just a gesture.
• Better Environments: Some areas, especially in the later levels, felt a bit bare in terms of decoration. We’ve stepped up and made everything look stunning. Well, as stunning as a terrifying dungeon full of things trying to kill you can be.
• Shield : Reduced the opacity of the Protective Shield effect to improve visibility.
• Mission Objectives: We have added more mission objectives to help guide your course during the Campaign.
• Redesign of climbable flags: Climbable flags are now blue to clearly differentiate them from the slide flags, which remain red.
