Patch 0.4.5 is finally here!

A short list of the changes (there are a LOT more than this):

• Hi resolution UI

• Gene System (Persistent Character Equipment)

• Powerful Gene Crafting System

• Expanded Mutation Tree

• Dozens of new Character Stats

• New Characters

• New Skills

• Codex revamp -- look up all stats of items

• Crafting reference

• Complete Balance overhaul

• Much deeper combat mechanics

• Many, many, bugfixes and QoL improvements.

Most importantly, this patch lays the groundwork for the future. With the core systems now in place, future patches will be focusing on content expansion.

Expanded Combat & Enemies

Genes are craftable items which you equip in a Gene Loadout. Gene Loadouts are usable by any of your characters, providing them with powerful stat boosts and mechanical changes!

There are 4 types of Genes: Offensive, Defensive, Utility, and Lesser. Unique variants of these are coming in an upcoming patch. Each one has different possible mods, and different mod strength. Check the in-game reference specific details.

Gene Loadouts

Upcoming patches will introduce more Unique Gene varieties, introducing even more build diversity on top of the massive amount already introduced in this iniital launch!

The Gene Editor

The new Gene Editor lets you craft your own unique, powerful Genes for use with your characters. Many powerful combinations can be crafted through skill and a bit of luck!

All crafting is powered by the various orb drops from enemies -- check it out in game to experiment!

New Mutation Tree

An expanded, rebalance Mutation Tree, with adding Quality of Life features such as smart pathing, full controller support, renaming, and more.

Revamped Codex & Reference

Look up all item stats for every tier, and every possible crafting outcome. Plan your crafts, execute, and become a Mutagenic hero!

... and much more to come!
