Ascension Tier 1 is finally here! Level up permanently between matches and obtain Soul Shards which can be used for powerful upgrades!

5 Soul Shards are required in order to access the Ascension system which opens up the door for 15 powerful upgrades which push you through a few of the higher difficulties.

You can choose only 3 paths in this system all of which gives a unique Pickup ability per path which alters game play and build types significantly.

Each path is assigned an Element which will be useful for Tier 2 of Ascension which we will release at a later stage.

Our extended trailer theme now plays in the credits view

Camera Movement is now always centered on the player
Previously this would lag behind by quite a bit and the faster movement speed you had, the worse it got.
We’re still taking feedback on this on our discord or our steam discussions, but we feel that this makes for more responsive gameplay currently.
