A build is one published version of the game's files on a branch. Steam assigns a new build ID every time the developer pushes an update, so this list is the update history of the app. The files inside a build (depot manifests) are only readable with an account that owns the game, which SteamRaw does not have yet, so build contents are not shown.

Hi all, We're excited to announce that today we've launched a new patch that adds replayable bosses, updates to the Crypt levels, and other improvements! Here are instructions on how to replay bosses. How to Play Bosses Again There's a spot next to the Library in Farrowfields that will take you to a temple. There you can talk to an NPC that will let you refight bosses by paying them Gold. You choose the boss from a menu and then get teleported straight to the boss room to fight them. After you beat them, a portal will appear that you can enter to go back to the temple. Full Patch Notes Added r

Hi all, We're excited to announce that today we've launched a major new patch that adds Persistent Game Mode, which allows for persistent characters save slots. This was a highly-requested feature and we're happy to give you the option to bring your saved characters into other people's hosted sessions. Additionally, the new patch also has a number of fixes. Persistent Character Save Slots There is a new multiplayer mode where you can keep your current or new characters forever, even if you start a new game. Persistent Game Mode that allows character progression in multiple worlds, instead of h
Hi all, We’ve been hard at work on a new mode that allows for persistent character save slots. Before we add it and other improvements into the game via a patch, we are running a short Open Beta to ensure everything is working properly first. If you’d like to test these features, you can join the Open Beta by selecting the Beta tab in the branch selector. Here's what you can test in Open Beta. More information is in the below FAQ. Persistent Character Save Slots There is a new multiplayer mode where you can keep your current or new characters forever, even if you start a new game. Open Beta ha
I'm enjoying the story-driven action of Baldur's Gate 3, you might be playing Starfield, but both of those are a bit too complex to fit in a quick 30-minute session in the evening. The ambitious sequel to 2013's Hammerwatch hits at a perfect time for me: this mini hack and slash takes Hammerwatch's action RPG combat and goofy fantasy setting and pushes it into a wider open world with a day-night cycle. It's a bit odd, like an early open world games fused with twin-stick combat out of classic Gauntlet... Read more.
Hello Hammerwatch fans, Right now, we’re busy working on our next update (persistent character save slots and more), but in the meantime, we wanted to share some tips for both new and returning players. We hope they’ll make your experience just that much better. Let’s get into them! 1. Skill Points At the beginning of your game, you'll choose a character class that is already equipped with a set of four distinct abilities. As your journey unfolds and you gain experience, your character ascends in levels. At each new level, you'll earn Skill Points, which serve as currency for enhancing your ab
Hi all, Thank you to everyone who has played Hammerwatch II! It’s been an exciting few days and we love hearing from our community. Today, we released a patch that improves dropping loot between players and fixes bugs that some community members have encountered. You can find the full list of patch notes below. Additionally, we are working on a second patch that changes how character save slots work in a new multiplayer mode. We originally designed the saves in a way that allowed for you to play with a host and be able to mod the character created on the host’s play session. After hearing all
The dungeon crawling Hammerwatch series is lowkey one of my favorite co-op RPG romps, and today the series gets a much bigger sequel that has me psyched to go back. Hammerwatch 2 takes the series' fast-paced dungeon battles I enjoyed with friends and beefs them up with an open world, bigger skills list, gear, and quest system. It sounds like the indie upstart action RPG that we need right in the wake of Diablo 4. It's not heavily inspired by the modern giants of ARPGs though, its developer Crackshell tells me, and is instead chasing the greatness of much older gaming touchstones... R
