German Localization
Germans can now enjoy the game in their native language.


Bugs & Balance
Minor balance changes to adjust the difficulty have been made. We also squashed some bugs.

More information.

Nice to see an update, this game had a lot of potential, but development just seemed to stop at some point.

Yeh seems like it. i am in doubt, want to play but like you said, it seems not really done…. any one else an opinion?

On my wishlist for a long time now, but I didn't take the plunge so far.
Maybe during the Steam summer sale…

It certainly seemed unfinished when I played it when it first came out, although still fun for a time. Several patches were released since then, but none of them listed my main issues among the patch notes. Then development just stopped until now.

I don't really know if there might have been more improvements beyond just what was listed in the patch notes. I might start a new game up sometime to give it a try. I remember that I did love was how deep and interesting the different classes could be, and at least one other new one was added after I stopped playing.

I didn't realize this was a turn based game, and now I'm a bit more interested.

I've always been interested in it, its been on my wish-list forever,
I don't think its ever been in the steam sale or at least discounted enough for me to grab it.

Steam says I played for 31 hours. The classes and lvling system was done well. I liked the variety of monsters you fight. Parts did seem unfinished and I stopped playing right before the final few battles. I would give it a 7/10. The game did seem like it was abandoned but seeing a new hero is cool.

The battles were a strong point and the skills of your characters were powerful. The monsters had some pretty deadly attacks so the balance was good.

I tried it and was entertained long enough to be worth the price. It's not pretty and gets repetitive but the skills, synergies, and general combat stuff was better than a lot of things out there

Thank you for your response. Guess i need to find out what i think about the game

Game is definitely done. I played it beginning to end and had no problems, very enjoyable for what it is: a one-man indie effort.
