Hi!

This update adds a new option to the "Mouse Movement" setting so you can use the mouse for aiming instead of movement. This works the same way as the controller aiming introduced last week, allowing to aim directional attacks independently of movement, with a small penalty to movement speed and fire rate.

Improvements

• Added "Aim" option to mouse movement settings

Hi!

Today we're releasing an update addressing some issues that have been around for a while:

Improvements:

• Changed the right stick behavior so the character doesn't fully stop. However, the character will move slower and aimed attacks will have slightly slower fire rate and damage. This penalty isn't applied if you're not moving.

Balancing changes:

• Increased damage and fire rate of the Magic Staff evolution.
  
• Slightly increased chance of getting goblets/crowns when breaking stuff and when killing enemies.
  
• Slightly increased money rewards for the early stages.

Bugfixes:

• Fixed Skill Cooldown effect icons being the opposite of what they should be (for example, Voodoo Doll telling the Bracers have negative impact on its effect).

Hi! Today we're releasing a minor update bringing a couple changes to the game:

Improvements:

• Added a setting to override projectile transparency behavior.
  
• Charms are now listed in the post-stage report.

Hi!

First of all, we wanted to thank you for supporting the game after its release! It's great to see so many people enjoying the game and we're glad to see that almost no bugs were found during this week.

Today we're releasing an update that brings some improvements to the game that should help addressing one of the most controversial things about the game: Its speed. We're adding a new speed setting over turbo mode that increases overall time scale, making games shorter but way more intense (be advised, increasing speed makes the game harder!).

We're also adding a way to aim while standing still, for both mouse+keyboard (left shift key by default) or controller settings (right stick). It works only for forward-aiming weapons (such as the Quicksilver Spears or the Energy Bolt), and it will force the character to stop while using this feature, but it will still be helpful for quick flicks while fleeing from enemies and when doing no move challenges.

Another thing we're changing in this update is increasing the power of a few weapons that were underperforming a bit compared to the rest.

New features:

• Turbo mode: Added a new speed setting that further increases gameplay speed.
  
• Added a key to force movement stop while pressed (left shift by default). Can be used to aim with the mouse or keyboard without moving.
  
• Added keys to force stop and aim while pressed (right stick by default). Can be used to aim with controllers without moving.

Gameplay changes:

• Increased power of the following weapons a bit:
  • Blood Wings (unevolved)
    
  • Ominous Gale (unevolved)
    
  • Sparksword (unevolved)
    
  • Bronze Starfish (unevolved + evolved)
    
  • Cupid's Arrow (unevolved)
    
  • Living Paintbrush (unevolved)
    
  • Ink Geyser (unevolved)
    
  • Sphere of Destruction (unevolved)
    
  • Chain Lightning (unevolved)

Improvements:

• Moved a bit some decorations in the Glacier area, the boss should get stuck less often.

Bugfixes:

• Fixed spike traps not fully immobilizing player when using certain skills.

During the past 8 months we've been in Early Access, we've released over 25 updates adding lots of new content and features, such as 24 playable charactes, over 100 weapons and evolutions, and over 60 different trinkets, many of which were based on the community feedback we've got during the whole process.

We believe Army of Ruin has become a great game with lots of contents to unlock and lots of fun to have while doing so, and we hope you think the same way, whether you are a new player or a returning backer!

As always, we're eager to hear suggestions and feedback for future content, be it in the Steam forums, in the official Subreddit, or in the official Discord server!

We're also releasing the official Soundtrack and new bundles to get the game combined with other items (such as our previous games) at a reduced price.

The game will have a 10% discount for the following 10 days, and you can get additional discounts with the themed bundles, such as the Army of Ruin + Soundtrack bundle or Milkstone Complete Collection bundle!

Hi! We're releasing a quick hotfix today, fixing an issue reported yesterday:

Bugfixes:

• Fixed the game performing some unintended logic when paused that could lead to huge temporary slowdowns once unpaused.

Hi! Today we're releasing a new update adding a bunch of quality of life improvements to make it easier to do some things such as managing favorites or doing a respec.

Improvements:

• You can now keep upgrading / downgrading skills in the Upgrades section by keeping the button pressed.
  
• You can now favorite evolved weapons (the base weapon will be the one actually favorited).
  
• In the challenges section, if you click on a challenge requiring a specific mission, it will take you to that mission. Note that it won't check if you can actually meet the conditions listed.
  
• Reduced CPU load of the explosive crabs death effect in the Glacier.
  
• Made it so projectiles become partially transparent when they reach huge sizes.

Bugfixes:

• Fixed Burning Baton not showing the proper model.

Today's update brings some CPU performance improvements and a couple fixes for yesterday's update.

Improvements:

• Reduced CPU usage of projectiles and damage numbers. Projectiles are still the main source of CPU usage of the game, but it should be noticeably less now.
  
• If the game falls below 15FPS, some effects, damage numbers and calculations will be skipped to help with performance.

Bugfixes:

• Fixed new challenges showing a star icon in some places.
  
• Fixed missing localization for Health syphon stat (used in Vampire gauntlets).
