Discount and Discord Updates

Ashes of War - Cat's Tooth Studio

As a solo developer, it can be challenging to update on all platforms simultaneously, and Steam updates are mostly interesting when uploading new content, so they are less frequent here.

However, I occasionally have new content to share on Discord, where it's a lot more casual for me. If that is something you might be interested in, please don't hesitate to join us using the following link (in case you haven't already, of course)

https://discord.gg/Qs3Umgd3PA

Also, the game will be 25% off for the ongoing sales.

For those who are unaware, the next story update is scheduled to arrive next month, assuming everything goes according to plan.
But don't quote me on that.

Thanks for reading and see you on the Discord.

Patch 0.4.1 - Early Access

Just King - Wicked

The King announces new Patch Notes!

Hello Heroes!

With our last patch we've received a lot of feedback on difficulty, we are greatly toning down both Fun and Normal, while tuning up some skills on the bosses on Wicked.

We took a bit longer than we wanted to launch this fix because we had some bugs in the way and we had to change how the internal systems to scale enemies work, we should be more reactive in the future now that the systems are in place.

Difficulties

Fun

Greatly reduced damage and health scale of Nanas, Shadow Heroes, and Elite Shadow Heroes on all Zones.

Normal

Greatly reduced damage and health scale of Nanas, Shadow Heroes, and Elite Shadow Heroes on all Zones. We are investigating boss scales on the Normal difficulty, if you have feedback after testing this patch we would love to hear!

Wicked

Z2 Boss: Reduced cooldown on several attacks, reduced the delay on the Blizzard skill on phase 2.

Z3 Boss: Reduced cooldown on several attacks, reduced the delay on all Tentacle attacks.

Z4 Boss: Increased cooldown on the Shadow Cloning attack, reduced cooldown on Soul Spears on phase 2.

Elite Fights

Reward

Elite fights now give you 1 gold + a Lootbox item, wich contain 5-7 gold value in items + some lunchables!

Controller Support Now In Beta

Hadean Tactics - Emberfish

Hello everyone!

Happy Summer!

We've just put version 0.6 up on the beta branch! The most significant feature of this update is the controller support. Implementing this has been a big challenge, but we're thrilled to say that it's finally ready for testing!

Right now this update is very fresh so you may encounter some roughness and bugs, but we'll work on it together over the next few weeks to polish and fine-tune it.

This is part of our bigger 1.0 update, which beyond having a lot of polish, QOL, and balancing, will also feature the true final battle and ending of the game. We'll be adding these to the beta over the next couple of months.

How to access the beta

Switch to the beta branch on the game's properties on Steam.

The game should update automatically to the beta branch.

Join the community discussion

You can report bugs and give us suggestions here on the Steam community, or on our Discord.

Sale and price

In more news, we are extending our current 25% sale into the Steam Summer Sale. This means you have until July 13th to grab Hadean Tactics at this price. If you've been considering diving into the game, now is the perfect moment!

Lastly, as we mentioned before, after the sale the price of Hadean Tactics will increase from $17.99 to $19.99. This reflects the amount of content and improvements we've added since the start of Early Access in 2021, which includes 2 new Heroes + 6 variants, 30 new draftable units, 211 new cards, 5 new Bosses, custom Heroes and custom Decks, Weekly Heroes, and more. This adjustment will take effect the day after the sale ends, and will be the final price for the game.

As always, we deeply appreciate your support, patience, and feedback. Thanks for being part of our journey!
You guys are the best!

Cheers!

Doug and Lili @ Emberfish Games
