Hello from Hoochoo Game Studios!

Major Updates

40+ New Artifacts Added

Based on the feedback we’ve received since the early access launch, we’ve decided to add a large number of artifacts. These additions aim to improve the following aspects of the game:

• Provide a wider range of victory plans and playstyles
• Offer more ways for your team to grow stronger
• Enhance the utilization of existing keywords (poison, bleed, stealth, etc.)

This large-scale addition was a challenging choice for both development and balancing, but we’re delighted to bring you a much richer experience. We have adjusted it so that an artifact is unlocked every time a curse is cleared.

Final Boss "The Oak" Reworked

The Oak was intended to be the ultimate challenge in early access, but its current skill set and unit usage up to stage 7 made it less threatening. We’ve reworked its skills and associated units to make the stage much more challenging and enjoyable.

New Components

• New skill “The Pale Elf”
- Void of Life - Dead-Card Pile - Condense
• New crown “Flask Crown”
