• Added an Effects Amount slider in Settings. Lower it to reduce visual effects for better performance; it never changes your damage.
  
• Mining: Ores are automatically collected when too much ore piles up on the ground.
  
• The currency display now wraps to a new line instead of hiding behind the health bar.

• Fixed dying right as the Run Portal died causing the next level to skip its monsters and Guardian.
  
• A Guardian you missed now shows up on your next level. If you already passed its level, it is counted as defeated and you receive its Guardian Currency.
  
• Fixed leftover skill effects from the previous level killing the new Run Portal and ending the level instantly.
  
• Portal Currency is now corrected on load: any amount lost to the skipped-level bug is restored.

Ok, so you guys are right. The game had issues with being kinda scripted and linear. Also, many people expected the game to last way longer.

We hear you and agree with you. Today's mega update fixes all of these and many more.

The past days since release were very hard for us. We worked almost non-stop, barely sleeping 4 to 5 hours a day. We really wanted players to enjoy Zad Archery, but the reception was way lower than what we expected. We really hope that with today's Mega Update, you will find the game much, much better.

We are introducing a completely new system to the game: the Symbol System.

This system completely changes how you play the game compared to anyone else. You will unlock various powers and choose between them, creating broken builds to reach higher levels faster. You can choose from more than 50 symbols every few levels, which significantly changes how you progress. On top of that, we added Exalted Symbols, which are completely overpowered.

In addition, we are making it possible to prefer a job, which doubles ALL the bonuses of that job and gives your character the look of that job. This creates many new strategies for the early game.

These additions, along with minor tweaks, on top of Skill Powers, shaping weapon arsenal choices, items, mastery choices, and guardian perks, will make the game much more non-linear and allow for so many builds that no two players will progress the same way.

We are also introducing a new system to allow for endless farming and further delving into the game: the Ring System.

The Ring System makes use of the Portal currency you gain after level 30 and introduces 9 new perks that significantly empower your character and work with all systems in the game.

We also removed the Level 50 cap and changed/improved various mechanics to allow for extreme high levels.

Also, one piece of feedback that we heard a lot is that the archer should proceed to the next level without waiting for you to pick up the currency. We changed this to match your feedback! Now, if currency isn't picked up for a few seconds, the archer will move and collect it himself, proceeding automatically to the next level. Now you can leave the game open for hours.

In addition to these big systems, we have introduced various improvements and fixes to make the game the best possible version.

Please try this new update and let us know what you think. Restart Steam to force update, or do: Steam → Zad Archery → Properties → Installed Files → Verify integrity of game file

We will keep working on the game until you are satisfied with it. So please share your feedback on what you liked and disliked so we know what players want.

• If there is one favor you can do for us, please try to leave a Review (or change/update your current one). This will tremendously help the game. ❤️❤️❤️

Thanks for sticking with us!
