Becoming Saint Gameplay FAQ
Hello believers! It's been two weeks since release and we first wanted to thank all of you who took the time to play the game and leave us a review, we're almost at a 100 reviews! We made several Patch Notes thanks to your feedback and we wanted to answer the most frequently asked questions that we received about the gameplay, the saving options and more! So let's dive into this new FAQ focusing on gameplay!The game has a tutorial for confrontation, you can open it from the "help" panel in the bottom right: Any time during the battles you can open it by using "ESC" button and you have the "Open the Tutorial" button in the menu, this is how it looks like: You can also open the tutorial by clicking the “?” icon in the bottom right:The two game modes are the "easy mode" and the "hard mode".What does easy mode do?You get more food and charisma at the start, You get a little advantage at each attack and parry.

If you select "clear all history" when you start a game, also the list of used names and saints will be deleted.Go to the start scene, Settings -> There is a dedicated panel on the right with a checkbox.Why are battles called confrontations?In Becoming Saint, in order to convert a town, you have a brawl with the inhabitants: it is not a “battle” in the sense that it is a setting where both sides are trying to convince and convert the others, and no one gets killed. Units attack either the energy, faith or courage o...Read full article on Community Announcements (Margoaw)Patch NotesOfficial
