Challenge yourself - the bigger the challenge, the better the loot
As you climb the tower, you'll find new, more powerful minions and enhanced versions of the previous ones. They carry better items for you to use, better materials for you to craft with and more treasures for you to sell!Start out with poorly made equipment, improvised from rural tools, and find better weapons and armor from all around the world - and even different worlds - within the Tower.
Fight, trade or craft your way to being able to decimate hordes of enemies with a flick of the wrist.
Choose your own difficulty - are you on a slow day and just want to have something to do? That's fine. Want to get friends together and challenge a floor filled with elites and mini-bosses? We've got something for you too.
Unlock your potential - As you level up, unlock new classes, crafting recipes, profession skills, difficulties and maps.
Join or create a Guild and challenge the Archmage in 10-player raids
Climb the Tower, visiting the many different biomes it has assimilated from different places and dimensions - it's bigger on the inside!
Find access to the Lairs - Three huge bosses guard the Tower Top. Raid their lairs with up to 10 players for a chance at facing the Archmage and breaking the Maldichroma curse.

⚔️ OUR AUGUST PLAYTEST RESULTS! ⚔️🔮
What did we test?Last April’s Playtest we mentioned that we would give some much needed care towards our backend systems, so we could not only add new content more effortlessly, but also help us expand the Tower’s dominion in the future. We spoke previously about one of them, but you experienced the other one a lot this time. Let us break this through. 😉New matchmaking and multiplayer systems, as you could see🫠We tested some of our new connection features! Not only we updated our matchmaking and multiplayer systems, but we also added EOS to prepare your parties. “But… why do you need it so?” Well… we intend to bring crossplay in the future, so we need to start paving our way towards it!So it was great having it collapse during our playtest. (It wasn’t.) After fixing it, it means we won’t have it breaking it again and again in the future! (It probably will. We hope it doesn’t). Jokes aside, we had great feedback from this test!From all matchmaking requisitions, 30,9% presented critical errors, from which we could diagnose which were the main category of operational failures and where it was coming from – if it was a client issue, Playfab unavailability, etc.So we really appreciate your patience during that time, and also thanks for all the efforts from everyone who reported those issues for us. 💖Controller supportAnother now-familiar bug you guys met – the cursor one, where you all had to press Alt to get your aim back – was a bug inherited from our controller support system!This feature definitely wasn’t in its final shape! By the time of the playtest, we were in the middle of the implementation process of the UI navigation, specially around our menu screen.It was great having it tested! Not only it will help us polish what’s already in the build, but it gave us some pretty good insights on our next steps towards navigation, how to make it more intuitive.We even had a player reporting how it was running on Steam Machine! And it kinda makes room for another discussio...Read full article on Community Announcements (Gigi)AnnouncementsOfficial
OUR PLAYTEST HAS ENDED!
This shorter playtest was really valuable to us!We meant to put for testing not only our new matchmaking system (and oh boy, what a test for our nerves was that), but also our controller support! We also wanted to see how you perform with our new content and… how we need to fix them as well. 😅We won’t take long to share our results for this playtest! But for now, here’s a snippet of what we’ll do next.What’s next?Rework on the 2nd branch of Hunter’s skill tree! – and fix that Mark bug. We’re on it!Widing doors: we’ll expand our tutorial – to welcome everyone at the TowerWe’ll polish the players animations – adding some much needed fixes and some much wanted flaiWe’ll revisit Factions and Territories! Time to set them straight. 🫡Improvements on enemies AI are waiting.New enemies are waiting too!LOCKPICKING ✨ (and locks, of course!)You guys are lucky… we’re working on Luck system too! 🍀Thank you again for playing, sharing feedbacks, reporting bugs… In other words: thank you for being part of our journey! We couldn’t do this without our beautiful community, so… thank you!Read full article on Community Announcements (Gigi)AnnouncementsOfficial

Welcome, heroes of Goldwheat! It’s a pleasure to have you back. 💕Since the end of our last playtest, our focus was to carefully deal with some of the features you already know while we had to develop new content.Now is the time to test these fixes and break ’em again! Not only we’ll be holding a brand new event for you to fuss around, but we’re also finally bringing controller support for Shadows of Chroma Tower! Let me get you the details on these 😉EVENT: Hunt the Golden Mimic! 🪙🔍We’re already going to loot for the rest of our lives here… why not add some spice? ✨We noticed from April’s playtest that just a few of you encountered the Golden Mimic.

We’re still figuring out what to do with the smaller one.— A soldier’s note you found next the camp.The rules are simple, and to join the event is even simpler! We’ll share some instructions when we open our servers. 🫰🏻Controller support… is a work in progress 🎮We’re still (suffering a little) through its implementation, but we wanted to give anyone interested an early preview of how it’s shaping up.Back in June 26th, we shared a little bit on the work around this new feature. All this testing now will help us when we finally launch Shadows of Chroma Tower!All we want to know for now is: are we in a good direction with the controls? Does it feel intuitive, even in this current state? Any inputs we’re missing here? Did you change our default bindings? You’ll be able to tell us everything about it in a dedicated channel when we open our servers.But FYI, there are some recurrent issues we’re having that we want you to be aware of.
