There will be more data and proper atribution here (original author, steam link, original post date, etc) real soon, I promise. This is just like a technical test to see if they're coming in ok at all.
Eldritch Exterminators » The Boss Boogie Update is available now!
Greetings and Salutations soldiers of light and dark! Today we bring you some funky new beats to battle to, along with a new Boss to terrorize you. Keep an “eye” out for him, lest he scare you to your bones! We did a lot of tuning to enemy health and spawn weight. A couple QOL features were added to show you when your dashes are ready to use and what your shield status is. Readability is key, and we want you to know when you are ready to fly or take a hit.
A lot of tuning around Artifacts happened, with a focus on Rate of Fire, to ensure the builds are more dynamic and everyone doesn’t go for the same artifacts over and over. These, along with the aforementioned spawn and health changes should lead to a more intense and strategic experience in each run. With some new enemy behavior snuck in there, we think there might be some fun scenarios for players to contend.
We are also expecting a price increase to $4.99 after the Autumn Sale ends, so let anyone who might be interested know to get in before the change!
As always, the full patch notes are below for your perusal. Be sure to leave feedback in the Discussions tab of the game on Steam, or on our official Discord server!
