Cruel master, the time has come to introduce you to the new recruits. Choose well, a right-hand monster is crucial to your mission!

Despite its slender appearance and fresh complexion, Masoch is part of the walls. After being dragged by adventurers in an attack several centuries ago, he was captured and then abandoned in a dungeon, sometimes serving as a distraction for employees from one decade to the next. Eventually, the resurrection spell doesn't really work on him anymore. Curious, the liche-docteures then conducted experiments, making Masoch the helpful intern we know.



When the Cyclops director adopted Chalcodon thanks to Dangerous Animal Sanctuary (a non-profit association in which she invests her free time), it already had its four heads, mark of a tortured past (it had been beheaded three times). Hungry, it immediately proved its usefulness by shredding a troop of lancers on the way home. A personal pet of the director, she regularly looks for dragonhydrasitters among her co-workers. Take care of it, it's a bit like her child.



Sannakji has a rather original resume. She used to work as a cook in different dungeons, where she was able to put her degree in human meat to good use. From there, she won several human hunting competitions. After a work accident, her own tentacle boiled in brain soup, she now aspires to a more peaceful job, where she can benefit from a foolproof health insurance.

Good slaughter!

Here's a hotfix to solve most of the issues brought with the latest update.

Players who had issues with the bugged additional room of monsters or trap should give up their current run, then close the game and verify game files on Steam. They can then start a fresh one to avoid any further issues with rooms generation during year 2.

If that doesn't work, we're very sorry for the inconvenient but you'll have to delete the save and create a new one.

Hotfixes 0.7.0.4:

• Voice over added to the Cyclop’s dialog about resting rooms at the beginning of the first dungeon of year 2.
  
• Fixed an issue preventing the Goblin Drummer passive to work correctly.
  
• Fixed an issue with the drag & drop in the team management window.
  
• Fixed an issue with the monsters and artefacts that shouldn’t be available for masters to still be offered as a reward.
  
• Fixed an issue with the Siege task if the player had 4 or less traps available.
  
• Fixed an issue with the Bone Catapult behavior.
  
• Fixed an issue with a hero’s passive reducing damage taken by traps that could make traps heal the hero.
  
• Fixed an issue with rooms generation during year 2 in specific situations.

Hi everyone,

What's in it?
• 3 new rooms: Fountain of Youth, Campfire and Sacred Altar
• 3 new monsters: Goblin Drummer, Gnoll and Satyr
• New task: the Siege
• Disable screen shake option

Many of you gave us this feedback: that the game was too easy. Now an extra room is being added from year 2 and will give you a hard time! And SO MANY of you also asked us for a Gnoll as a new monster. It's done :) What do you think?

• Disable Screen Shake option added in the Settings!
  
• New random rooms during year 2 to help heroes: Fountain of Youth, Campfire or Sacred Altar!
  
• 3 new monsters: the Goblin Drummer, the Gnoll and the Satyr!
  
• New task: the Siege! Rent some of your traps to the Company in exchange for some gold!

• Dungeon environments will now be restricted for each master. Slaveholder gets Fortress and Frozen Caves. Enchantress gets Frozen Caves and Aztec Ruins.
  
• Monsters in Garrison and traps in Stock are now in a scrollable area.
  
• Tasks tooltip will now be shown sooner.
  
• Improved save slots visual feedback to better see when there’s a run in progress.
  
• Finishing a run or losing one will now take the player back to the master selection screen instead of the main menu.
  
• Uppercase “i” in turkish will now be displayed “İ” correctly.
  
• Mamluk’s elite passive description has been changed to make it clearer that only monsters killed by the Mamluk will trigger the passive.
  
• We’ve tried something to improve performances and avoid the GPU to go completely nuts on some computer configurations. If you had issues with performances, please try to set the video quality settings to Low or Very Low. We need as many feedback as possible from players who had issues with the game’s performances prior to this update, so feel free to come on our Discord or post on the forums about this.

• Burn effect will now deal 5% of the fighter’s maximum Life as Fire damage per turn.
  
• Frostbite effect will now deal 5% of the fighter’s maximum Life as Ice damage per turn.

• Master Regeneration bonus from Workouts and Rewards has been changed to 20% instead of a flat 2.
  
• Master Power bonus from Workouts and Rewards has been changed to 10% instead of a flat 10.

• Fixed a remaining issue with the Ignited Shield effect from the Archmage Champion that could still cause the game to hang during fights.
  
• Fixed a remaining issue with Jubokko’s immunity that was preventing monsters at the front and the back to be swapped by the Wizard’s skill if the Jubokko was placed at the center of the group.
  
• Fixed an issue where the dead and scared hero visual feedbacks were not displayed on Champions.
  
• Fixed an issue with the Mamluk’s elite passive that was triggered from monsters killed by any heroes from the group instead of kills made by the Mamluk only.
  
• Fixed an issue where some Artefacts were playing their activation animation when hovering attacks during a fight.
  
• Fixed an issue with the Hoplite’s first passive that wasn’t taking the correct target for Armor damage reduction.

It is a very delicate work: balancing. We've got to take into account new comers, mid-core players and veterans. We cannot only rely on individual input, we have to gather every feedback and see what are the big trend. When YOU feel X or Y is OP, we might have data that says otherwise.

You might no know, we have ingame analytics that help us understanding difficulty: what are the deadliest compositions, the most used skills and so on.



We saw several streamers getting bored. We saw several people pausing after their first game, not even looking at the skill tree! We feel the roguelite-genre needs a few death to understand, reflect on your strategies and finally enjoy the game.

Today's patch is about balancing: we have globally made the game more dangerous, but you also have more health!

Remember to read the roadmap before asking what's upcoming:
https://steamcommunity.com/ogg/978520/partnerevents/view/1841349580873384798

FYI, very cool members of communities are creating a wiki : https://legendofkeepers.gamepedia.com/Legend_of_Keepers_Wiki

A dozen bugs have been patched as well.

---- Important note

We still need you opinion after playing. Do you feel these changes improve the game? Make it worse? We may have the general overview, your opinion still matters. Join the discord and tell us what you think!
