Version Highlights
- Artifacts: Select an artifact out of 3 options when completing a level.
- Basic permanent growth: Get up to 20% crit rate and 40% crit damage as you gain commander mastery levels.
- Chessboard-based progression: You can choose to fight more levels in a tour for a more filled backpack of artifacts. But beware, mobs will be stronger.

Also, the Community Hub on Steam is a nice place to post your ideas.
In this round of playtest, we are particularly interested in learning new ideas on permanent growth, replayability, and combat style variations.

- Mutators: In Hard/Crucial difficulty, daily challenge will have random mutators that give mobs specializations in various ways.

Feedback
I love a TD game, so was happy to try this out when it popped up for playtesting. Overall was satisfied not to encounter any bugs, but the playtesting did raise some questions for me. I've put these under broad subheadings below.
Commanders:
I wasn't sure what the real differences for each of the commanders (Kalika (Laser Hunter) and Kolbjosa (Snowball Poet)) were. It seemed largely cosmetic with one slinging snow balls and the other firing lasers.
Progress on Normal Mode seemed to reset afte...

总结与概括（清醒版）
睡醒了再来说一下，作为塔防爬塔，底子是很好的。走格子等于选择路线，棋子相当于不同的手牌。那么我们按照经典的杀戮尖塔对照看一看，欠缺的地方在哪里。
1.选择路线：毫无疑问，格子不应该只有战斗，可以有升级，休息，商店等等内容，这部分单一了。
2.棋子：你不能想象杀戮尖塔一整局下来只有初始手牌吧？那么增加可能是为了什么？

关于一些体验和建议
游玩体验
我是在蜥蜴君的视频下方看到测试的，于是便连夜游玩，写出了一些自认为的问题。
关于游玩体验，我想先从总体来说：有些单调和简单了，以至于并没有重复游玩的欲望。
1.单调：我必须要说，进入游戏的第一面，最吸引我的是棋子，三种不同攻击方式的棋子，甚至还有限额，让人第一时间想到了国际象棋，我迫不及待想看看其他的棋子，但很可惜，这部分是缺失...
