The Future
What’s Next for the Game? To be honest, the game has been a failure. However, I still want to provide a high-quality product for those who have purchased it. That’s why I’m currently reaching out to artists to improve key elements such as the UI and music. Next, I plan to overhaul the core gameplay loop significantly. This time, I intend to take my time to ensure you get a great gaming experience. I should also mention that the price of the game may increase once this update is released, so now is a good opportunity to get it at a lower price. Your feedback is incredibly valuable and could help me steer the game in the right direction, so please don’t hesitate to share your thoughts. On my end, I promise you a high-quality game in the coming months. Thank you for your support! Note: Here is a possible evolution of the game regarding stats and talents{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45490341/6bb90df953c79b0a0eaae1873160f80a3dc9692a.pngRead full article on Community Announcements (tzhaar)AnnouncementsOfficial

What's next ?
What I plan for the future of this game : My first goal is to make the game bug-free and balance the combat mechanics. My second goal is to release a new game mode, which will feature a campaign similar to the one already in the game, but with randomized elements. Over 15 new heroes and monsters are also expected, and they will be exclusive to this new game mode. I really like the idea of a randomized campaign with random heroes and combats, and I hope you will enjoy it as well. Everything should be ready in approximately 15 days. In the meantime, try to finish the current campaign in the game :D Thank you for reading me.Read full article on Community Announcements (tzhaar)AnnouncementsOfficial
