Hello Fellow Commanders!

We hope this message finds you eager for new adventures because our latest update is here! This update is packed with exciting new content updates, game balancing optimizations and bug fixes, all designed to immerse you deeper into the world of Anomaly Collapse.

Without further ado, let's dive right into it!

New Content Updates

Temporal Rift Challenge

After unlocking Hard Mode, the condition is fulfilled by reaching the Chapter 3 exit before 30 turns in Normal or Hard Mode. The entrance to the Temporal Rift is opened by a special event when the Investigation value reaches 100 in Chapter Four.
The Temporal Rift contains 3 High Difficulty Boss Battles.
Choosing to enter the Temporal Rift will also make the [Mirage of Yore] battle in this game harder.

Related Achievements

Rift Survivor/Rift Warrior/Rift Champion: Win 1/2/3 Rift battles in a run.
Unstoppable: Complete a run with the temporal rift activated.

New In-Game Language Selection

More language options for French, German, Russian, Spanish and Portuguese have been opened. You can select the language you want to switch to from the drop-down menu via [Settings] - [Game] - [Language] in the game's main menu interface.

Bug Fixes

Fixed an issue where Stray's initial armor was not getting the correct boost in previous updates.

Fixed an issue where reaching the number of [Hands of War] would not unlock the [Defeat the Wound of War] achievement.
Fixed an issue where Verica was getting less push impact power through upgrades than other characters.
Fixed an issue where game saves at the end of battles were poorly timed, which would cause a bad file in the case of force quitting the game at the end of a battle
Fixed the glitch where [Buggy] was able to kill bosses in seconds.
Fixed inconsistency between achievement negative incentive unlock text and actual required conditions.
Updated the [Crowded] [Overcrowded] status of units inside plots when the unit size changes.

Evelius’ Tower Plans

Lucky Tower Ultimate - Ame - AMC Games

Hello, you lucky adventurers, you! June has been an incredibly busy month for Evelius and the Studio Seufz crew. Here’s a little recap of everything we’ve been up to, and what we’re working on.

Lucky Tower Ultimate is Coming to Early Access!

In case you missed it - we announced that Lucky Tower Ultimate is coming to Early Access in August 2024. We released a brand new trailer with the announcement you can watch here:

Introducing… THE VILLAGE

One of our favourite German content creators Gronkh showed off some EXCLUSIVE footage of the Village in his German Indie Showcase! If you’re clever and talented enough to escape Evelius’ Tower, Von Wanst will be able to explore the bustling area and purchase items to help him on his next run. Get ready to explore the Village when Lucky Tower Ultimate launches into Early Access!

Final Demo Update

Lucky Tower Ultimate has been featured this past week in the Games Baked in Germany Steam Event, along with a demo update. On July 1st, the demo will come down in preparation for Early Access launch in August.

Demo Patch Notes:

It mainly includes bug fixes, aside from that there a some notable changes:
Door handles stay down once you enter a door, so you'll know which room you entered already.
Chests now have color-coded locks and keys. For every locked chest, there should be a fitting key on the same floor.
Reduced number of haircuts, for consistency with the Early Access release (sorry, more haircuts need to be unlocked at the barber in the future!).
Improved ragdolls for some enemies.
Some UI polishing

Community Gallery
