Main Features

The new version brings substantial changes, especially regarding balance. The "Free Play" mode has been heavily reworked and is now called "Custom Game." This name perfectly captures the new possibilities of this mode.

Custom Game

This mode no longer has two slots for different difficulty levels, as you can now customize your run with a wide range of new settings, including:

1. Mixed deck. Allows you to play with all available cards from every hero, enabling you to experiment with the most bizarre card combinations.
   
   
2. Infinite Fuel. Many players weren't fond of the fuel mechanic, so now it can be disabled in both modes. When disabled, you will no longer encounter "Refueling Station" travel cards or inventory items related to this mechanic.
   
3. The Difficulty option determines the MAX HP of enemies.
   
4. The Number of enemies option adjusts the number of enemies in battles.
   
5. Length of acts. Acts can now be shortened for those who dislike long runs or extended for those who prefer more preparation before the boss fight or want more opportunities to collect more relics, etc.
   
6. Construction Bonuses. This is the same modifier from the easy difficulty in Free Play. It simplifies the game and makes it more casual but prevents earning achievements in Custom Game mode.
   
7. Final Boss: Cthulhu. This is great news for hardcore players. Some players have managed to defeat Cthulhu on their first try. Now you have the chance to face Cthulhu in Custom Game mode. Personally, I haven't managed to repeat this feat yet, though I came close once.
   

Story Mode

Some of these modifiers are also available in Story Mode. You can find these settings on the character selection screen.

Other Changes

• New Steam Achievements. Since the game no longer has difficulty levels in the same sense as before, I had to remove six achievements that are now impossible to earn. However, six new achievements related to the new modifiers in Custom Game mode have been added.
  
• A lot of minor bugs have been fixed. The balance still needs some tweaking, but now you can customize the game to your preferences. I continue to work on fixing bugs and inconsistencies, with most of this work already complete. After that, I plan to add more content to the game.
