Trials of Fire 1.0 Release

Hi everyone,

This update sees Trials of Fire transitioning out of Early Access and into full release. It’s been an exciting ride to get here with our debut game and we’re glad that so many of you are playing and enjoying Trials of Fire already.

Along with the latest update, we also have a digital Artbook and Map as well as the game’s official Soundtrack available from Steam. If you prefer you can get all 3 in the collector’s Inferno Bundle.

As always, we want to express our thanks for the awesome support of our Early Access community who were so instrumental in getting us to this point - both with your support and feedback. It's no understatement to say we wouldn't be here without you!

Also note that along with the 1.0 release, we are resetting the game's leaderboards to give everyone a fighting chance with all the changes since the last leaderboard reset.

Thanks!

Trials of Fire 1.005 Release Notes

This update marks us moving out of Early Access and into full release.

Update highlights include a brand new playable Hero, a rework to the Assassin’s Stealth mechanic and a host of updates to item based cards.

New Hero – The Occultist

  • Communes with otherworldly powers to deal damage or buff your party. Beware though, such power always comes with a price.
  • Ranged damage dealer or support character.
  • Many of their abilities will do damage or place negative named effects on themself, but others will grow stronger as they take damage or get more afflicted.
  • Has the unique ability to remove cards from the battle to thin your deck on the fly or remove weaknesses.

Instant Cards

  • Many created cards have now been re-branded as ‘Instant’.

  • These function largely the same, as before, but are now removed from the game automatically when ending your turn (and do not count towards your 1 held card limit).

  • Instant is a new keyword with the following effects:

    • May not be Recycled or Redrawn.
    • Automatically removed from the battle at the end of your turn.
  • This keyword replaces the text on many cards.

Stealth Rework

  • We’ve reworked the Stealth named effect to better suit the Assassin’s playstyle.

  • Stealth now has no immediate effect and ticks down like any other named effect.

  • If you can maintain stealth until the start of your turn, it triggers some powerful new abilities.

  • Stealth effect:

    • Cannot be targeted by enemies unless they are adjacent.
    • Every time you are hit, lose 1 stack of Stealth.
    • At the start of your turn, gain +2 to Melee and Ranged damage for the turn and add a Move Unseen card to your hand.
  • Move Unseen token card – ‘Move 1 + your Stealth stacks, ignoring enemies.’

Hero Changes

  • The Spirit Speaker now has a Heavy Armour slot instead of Light Armour to allow for a bit of extra tankiness.
  • The Assassin no longer has access to Heavy Armour to slightly reduce their tankiness.

Language Update

  • Russian localisation now fully implemented.

Profile Management

  • You may now have up to 4 separate save profiles on your machine to allow other household members to play on one machine.

Item Card Review

  • We’ve updated a lot of the weaker item cards to make sure more items are viable in high-level builds.
  • Most of these buffs come in the form of powerful, conditional effects to boost the cards based on how you play them. This
