Version 1.8 comes with a detailed status panel for creatures and game objects, a rebalanced weapon set, and a couple of fixes that some of you might have waited for.
Once you've battled a certain amount of a specific enemy type, the newly implemented status panel will show detailed information about their stats and allow you to optimize your tactics for coming encounters. Those deadly snakes here have their weak spot revealed already: zero resistances and low hitpoints! That makes them the perfect target for any kind of magical damage and/or effects that are triggered by potions or weapon enchantments. Any non-Dex build should account for that before going into battle or avoid them in the first place.
On the other hand, the panel allows you to examine your character's state and find out what enchantments are currently active and how long they will last, among other things. This time, I had my Speed build equipped with a sword that has a chance to cast an accuracy buff when striking to compensate for the lack of Attack Rating.
Also, Battlepaths says goodbye to XNA and now runs on MonoGame, which should fix many of the issues that several gamers encountered when trying to run the game.

Version 1.73 Now Available For All Platforms
Finally, both Windows and Linux users have access to the latest update for Battlepaths. There were a few issues with the Linux version which we actually didn't update since 1.7. Besides several fixes for the Linux version, version 1.73 allows you to rebind your key settings, which so many gamers asked for.
If you are interested in what we are currently doing at Key17 check out our homepage. There's quite something going on!
Version 1.73 In Public Beta
Players can now opt into the public beta branch and play the most recent version of Battlepaths. Among several minor changes, you will now be able to rebind the keyboard controls. During beta, this has to be done by editing the file "keymapping.txt" in the install folder.
Also, the game got a little more verbose and you'll get informed when your hero receives any enchantments, e.g. when getting slowed, weakened, or poisoned, but also when you receive temporal boosts from your equipment.

Version 1.72 Released - Halls Of Challenge Update
The Halls Of Challenge now contain another mysterious door for which you have to find the proper key. You might want to double check your equipment before entering!
Trading Cards Released
We have finally released 11 trading cards for Battlepaths. They come along with 9 unlockable emoticons and 4 profile backgrounds. Go get them!
Version 1.7 Released - Hardcore Mode And New Achievements
The newest update for Battlepaths has just been released and features a new hardcore mode. Characters created in this mode will stay dead, but items in your stash remain so that future characters can benefit from the awesome loot acquired so far. Four new achievements have been added that can only be obtained in this mode.
Also, we fixed an annoying bug where the game would hang when ranged creatures fought outside the viewport.
Finally, you can now gain XP in one of the areas in the Halls of Challenge which comes in handy when going for max character level. The other areas are still the best choice to gather your perfect equipment.
Enjoy!
