Patch 0.2.000 – World Overhaul, Abilities & Building

SoulScroll – Patch 0.2.000

This update reshapes the world within the walls, character progression, and settlement building. Prepare your equipment in the main menu, gather your party, and decide when your defenses are ready for the next siege.

Major Landscape Overhaul

Landscapes and biomes have received a major visual overhaul. Reworked vegetation, lighting, riverbanks, and atmospheric effects give the Grassland, Darkforest, and Death biome a stronger identity.

The Forest Spirit now awaits you in the Darkforest.

Level Up Your Abilities

Leveling up now strengthens your chosen character's abilities instead of increasing general stats. Choose upgrades and develop your abilities step by step.

Stat improvements are now earned by completing quests. Repeatable objectives improve damage, health, stamina, and other character stats. Quests no longer have a time limit.

Build Your Settlement on a Grid

Your settlement now uses a fixed building grid, replacing unrestricted building placement with more structured planning. Occupied spaces and required entrances are easier to identify, while a new building overview helps you plan your settlement.

Call the Next Siege

You decide when the next siege wave begins. Call it directly through the Greathall menu and use the time between waves to expand your settlement and prepare your defenses.

Earn the Final Confrontation

A completed altar alone is no longer enough to summon the final boss. You must now also successfully defend against at least ten siege waves before beginning the final confrontation.

Forge Owned Items in the Main Menu

You can now forge Owned Items directly in the main menu. There is no need to enter a run first—prepare your equipment before your next adventure.

Invite Your Party and Start Together

Invite other players directly into your lobby through the Create a New Game window. Assemble your party, choose your characters and equipment, and start the run together.

Additional Improvements

  • Reworked ability effects and clearer upgrade choices.
  • Improved inventory, building, character, and party menus.
  • Inventory sorting and new item pickup notifications.
  • Improvements to co-op runs and Arise companions.
  • Smoother gameplay and numerous fixes for building, combat, and loading.
