Greetings, Necromancers! A lot happened since our early access release. During development, we realized that the roadmap we had drawn up at the beginning did not include all the things you requested in feedback, so we adjusted it to allocate more time to the things that worried you the most. ICYMI - we have also just dropped the 'Apex Necromancy' update, check out the patch notes for that here! As we're fast approaching our 1.0 update, we would love to tell you in detail about everything that has been done in the game since the beginning of early access, and how we envision further development

Greetings, Necromancers. The second beta-patch is here, and it brings several notable additions: Late-game system - Vow of Deicide, and most excitingly - much requested ability re-rolls and horde optimizations!

For now, it is the bare bones of a system, and will plainly increase enemy power-level. We are still going to work on updating this system, and include something more unique to difficult run
