Volgarr the Viking II – Ver. 1.1 (Live and Let Die)

Release date: September 5th 2024 (North America, Europe) / September 6th 2024 (Japan)
Patch notes:

Major Features:

Revamp to Undead Mode

Players now prompted for optional game assistance on the use of 6 “continues” and may now choose to not have semi-invulnerability turned on by default.

Undead Mode can be toggled by Menu “Modifiers” for those who want help right away!

Players have visual indicator that game assist is on from the color of the HUD.

GOLD = OFF / BONE WHITE = ON

New Checkpoint Feature

Runestone Checkpoints will remember the latest equipment that you have when activating them. This does not include SPECIAL power-ups like Mjolnir and Emerald!

Pro Tip: Very useful for boss fight checkpoints.

Crystals at the start of maps do not remember your gear. Should you die prior to securing a Runestone, you will lose everything. Even if you transition to the 2nd half of a world before finding a Runestone.

Bug Fixes:

Death Pit improperly working in World 3-2 is now functioning correctly.

Reduction in HUD size so that it does not take up so much screen space.

Miscellaneous bug fixes unrelated to gameplay.

Additional notes: none
