Hello Everyone,

This update (Release 1.1.0) features a ton of new items and Inscriptions that add new strategic elements and should kick up the action another notch.

We’ve added a total of 38 new items, some of which have very unique properties and may only activate after certain enemies have been defeated. Choosing which items to pick up during your run will require even more strategy than ever.

There is also a new NPC called the “Grave Robber” who will randomly show up in the Black Market and sell new items in exchange for Dark Quartz.

Not only that, but we’ve also implemented 7 new Inscriptions that will create even more crazy synergies depending on the type of damage being dealt and the number of enemies in the area. For example, if there are a bunch of enemies nearby one of the Inscriptions may create a shockwave effect. So go ahead and see what wild combinations of skulls, items and Inscriptions you can create!

New NPC in the Black Market: Grave Robber

“You won’t have seen these anywhere else! I’ll trade them for a few of those black jewels!”

These “Boss Items” will only appear in the chests after defeating the bosses.
