Hello Adventurers!As promised in our last update, we're back with a closer look at what we've been working on. We have both a free update and a new paid DLC in the works — here's where things stand.Note: Everything shown here is work in progress. Details may change before release.Free UpdateWe're putting together a substantial free update that focuses on giving you more ways to play and more reasons to come back. Here's what's shaping up:Kill or Timer — Your ChoiceThis one we're really excited about. When entering the Shrine of Torment, you'll now be able to choose your completion condition for each map: survive a set timer, or reach a kill threshold. Every stage (except the Vault and Training Grounds) will support both modes.Prefer a more aggressive, fast-paced approach? Switch to Kill Count and race to mow down the required number of enemies. Like the classic pressure of the ticking clock? Stick with Time Limit. Your choice, your pace — and your records are tracked separately for each mode.Statistics & RecordsWe're adding personal per-map records along with general run statistics.

His wave and delta attacks will also now properly abort if he dies mid-attack.Player Input: Fixed an issue where holding left-click and right-click simultaneously could cause auto-attack to get stuck.
