Sidestep Legends » Update 0.5.7 Reroll, Banish, Lock, Area and Revive
This update adds a much needed feature for these types of games. The ability to steer the randomness a bit with the help of Reroll, Banish and Lock. If you have played other games in this genre you probably recognize them, but in short here is how they work. You can use them when levelling up. Reroll will replace the upgrades options with new ones. With Banish you can remove an upgrade entirely from the pool of this run and it will be replaced with another one. Lock can be used on an upgrade option to keep it for the next level up, useful in the case where you get offered more than one upgrade that you would want to pick.
In order to get charges of Reroll, Banish and Lock you need to unlock them in the skill tree.
This update also introduces two new passive upgrades, Ability Area and Revive. You can read about them in the detailed as well as some balance changes and bug fixes in the full patch notes below.
