Heretical Demo Patch Notes 0.1.8d

Greetings Lost Souls!

It's time for another Demo update! With version 0.1.8d we wanted to focus on stability, bug fixes and balancing skills and enemies.

Skill Changes:

  • Ember Trail: reworked - A wave of fire seeks one of the enemies, burning ground in its path. Enemies caught in it burn, having their fire resistance lowered, and taking fire damage over time.
  • Magma Orb: reworked - When you attack, launch a fiery orb at your target, dealing area fire damage and burning enemies in an area.
    Every time you deal fire damage, increase the damage of your next magma orb.

Enemies:

  • Matron Amara: hit points increased from 1000 to 3000. Her arena now starts at infinite range and scales down to the intended range so it's more obvious you need to step inside the circle.
  • Undying Champion: hit points increased from 550 to 900.

Developer comment: We felt like bosses didn't feel like the proper challenge so we wanted to increase the length of those fights.

QoL And Bugfixes:

  • Pressing B on the controller now allows you to cancel profile creation.
  • EULA screen will no longer appear once you accept it for the first time.
  • Added a bunch of sound effects for Matron Amara, Plague Hounds and Plague Rats.
