  One last update... for now. Version 1.1.7 from the Abyss, 45% discount!

  There's a deep connection between the Traveller, the developement of The Rogue of Nexus and its developer, both will go forward, both will change.As players know, when the Traveller gets caught by The Hand, he will be dragged in the Abyss, and that will be the end of the run... but not of his journey, also... the next time he will stand up stronger and will proceed even further in this world of darkness.That because in the Abyss the Traveller stops for a moment and waits, before restarting again. In the Abyss he meditates about himself, his path and his goal, and here he upgrades himself. It's time for an Abyss Upgrade.Now it's your turn: check the latest and last 1.1.7 version (for now) of The Rogue of Nexus: play the game and experience its improvements, this is also a great chance for sharing your feedbacks about the game, that will be very helpful for the future.Also, until 2nd of March, the game has a 45% discount... don't miss the chance!There's finally a great boost to battle enemies' behaviour, namely active and passive skills, for more interactive and tricky battles!The Rogue of Nexus 1.1.7 changelog:Enemy Battle patterns added in order to give active and passive skills to enemiesText update and new text;Enemies update;Lowered the cost of the weapon sold in the first city from 10000 to 5000Rebalanced player skills;Rebalanced weapons;UI update and repositioning;Now only enemies that are supposed to escape can be removed from battle by crossing the red dotted lines;Added visual effects to character and enemiesFixed excessive knockback scenarios that would put enemies out of borders (they will be placed at the edges of the battle screen instead);Added "xp" text next to the experience obtained number, for more clarity about what you obtained; (thanks to RikerRiker for the suggestion!)When you enter in a dungeon in which an active quest takes place, you'll see a text warning that reminds you which quest and type it is (thanks to PseudoPstupid for the suggestion!...
