You might want to go check the following thread at the Steam Forums to see some really talented Abyss Odyssey players showing some great skills in the game's training room.
This is a great place to see the fighting engine of the game at its best. The combo potential has exceeded our expectations. We thank all the participants for showing off the game being played at such a high level.
This thread might become useful later on when the online vs mode launches. ;)
Enjoy the show!
Leaderboards fixed (hotfix uploaded)
The leaderboards should be working as expected now! Sessions played with friendly fire 'on' will post to leaderboards and not the other way around.
We'll continue developing other improvements for the next patch, but this needed to be handled quickly, so thanks to everyone that reported the issue and helped us resolve the problem.
Patch v1.01 is out!
Fixes / changes include:
Togglable friendly fire option. Note: Deactivating friendly fire does not allow posting to leaderboards.
Created ‘Nightmare mode’ difficulty setting: In this mode enemies attack more aggressively and single-player boss battles feature support minions.
Created an achievement for beating the game in nightmare mode.
Updated all interfaces to properly display corresponding keyboard or controller inputs.
Updated controls menu: Gamepad controls are now configurable.
Added missing resolutions to graphic options menu.
Fixed one case of players being unable to move when resurrecting a partner (shopkeeper cannot be interacted with during resurrect animation) .
Slightly increased turn speed for some characters that had slower turns.
Final boss has been defeated over 1000 times! The amount of damage on the symbol represents the amount of progress the community has achieved in reaching the next phase.
