Lynley and myself have spent the last week trying it out on Steam Early Access and these are our thoughts. Spending Essence on only Blessings would make Hard Mode too easy, so to balance it out, you’ll also have to select Curses, which produce negative effects on your run, such as more Bandits or less gold.The Hand of Merlin – developed by Room-C Games and Croteam, published by Versus Evil – is an interesting blend of turn-based tactical combat, a party-based RPG, and a choice-driven text adventure, all wrapped in a roguelike package. Blessings are positive benefits, such as increasing your maximum mana level or earning larger gold rewards. In Hard Mode, you’ll spend Essence in exchange for temporary benefits to your run. Meaner and nastier, expect these baddies to radically increase the challenge thanks to higher HP, more armor, less cooldowns, and unique passive abilities, just to name a few upgrades.ĭon’t despair just yet, faithful wizards and warriors, because we’re also adding Metaprogression, which will help you grow stronger with each run! As you gain more and more Essence, you’ll need a place to spend it, which is where the new Blessings and Curses system will come in. More specifically, you’ll be introduced to Dire Units, which are super-buffed versions of the abominations you already know and love. To distinguish Hard Mode from the current player experience, the first step was to add more complex resource management and, of course, make your enemies tougher. Well, we love a challenge, too, so get ready: Hard Mode is coming! But what exactly does that mean? It means your runs are about to get a serious dose of abomination wrath! One of the most common requests we receive from you all is to make the game harder. Over the last few weeks, we’ve been releasing tidbits of information regarding what’s next, but in case you’ve missed it, here’s a quick recap to bring you up to speed.
