Hi folks,
The first DemonCrawl update of 2022 has arrived!
We spent the last few weeks designing a new mastery called Ninja, a new set of demonic Patreon rewards, and 20 new holographic effects. Yes, you read that right! We have overhauled our holograph workflow and can now produce these kinds of effects in a matter of hours. 😎
We also think they look much nicer than many of the original holographs, but you can judge for yourself:
Pretty cool, right?
Next up is the new Ninja mastery, which possesses a unique form of damage mitigation based on exposed cells. It also completely bypasses monster reveal and death effects as if you were permanently wearing Shinobi Sandals.
In our testing, it's a decently consistent mastery that doesn't require too much micromanagement. Not too tough to unlock either!
The full patch notes for v1.83 are available below. Enjoy!

Quality of Life
- The Immutable stage mod alert now includes the name of the stage
- Made Hellspire look slightly more demonic
Balance Changes
- Effects that trigger when a monster "spawns" are now distinct from "monster reveal" effects (e.g. Occultic Pendant)
- With the above in mind, Shuriken wording has been changed to "automatically discharges when a monster spawns" - otherwise Ninja couldn't use ninja stars, which would have been so wrong
Bug Fixes
- Fixed an issue that could cause active paints and holographs to change between updates
