Hello everyone!
This patch focuses on item balance, with Kingmaker in mind.
Since the last update, a few builds have proven far too strong and unfun to play against, looking at you Sanguine morphosis with Crystal mirror, so we’ve addressed those. Liferoot Hammer and Blackbriar Blade now have new effects, Crystal Mirror has been disabled, along with many other adjustments. Some underpowered items received buffs as well, but since we still haven’t reached the stable meta where multiple strategies can thrive that we are looking for, our main priority for now is bringing the overperformers down to a more manageable level.
We’ve also heard your feedback that certain challenges felt overly difficult due to the heavy reliance on RNG. That kind of frustration isn’t fun, so we’ve reworked the biggest offenders.
And for those of you who managed to complete Stone Cold before the rework, you know who you are. 😉
Leave a Steam Review: Help Shape the Next Patch!
While we are on the subject of feedback, Steam reviews help a lot. They give other players a clear picture of how the game feels right now, they influence visibility on Steam, and they tell us what to focus on next. If you have a moment after trying this patch, a short, honest review would be genuinely helpful. We read them.
We had more things planned for this patch, but felt the meta was in a state that needed change sooner rather than later. What we're working on for next time is being able to save and continue runs between sessions and general kingmaker connection issues.
