Changes

System changes

Dark Mirror

Test your skills and limits in the new challenging ‘Dark Mirror’ mode. More powerful enemies along with new threats will try to stop you, but you will also have a new trick up your sleeve that will help you in your journey.

Developer Comment
We would like to say the Dark Mirror update is not just a hard mode that has increased the health and damage of the enemies. It is more of a new DLC, which includes a new story and content. We highly recommend that players personally experience the DLC’s full content rather than experiencing it through written texts and images. For these reasons, further details related to the Dark Mirror will be included in the Dev Blog.

Changes to how summoned characters attack

Developer Comment
Our initial intentions were to have a clear and separate identity for both the player and summoned characters. However, the changes were made because we did not think the summoned characters had a clear identity. We plan to add a unique effect and content for summoned characters and will review separating the player and summoned characters again.
