Cascade Tactics

New Roguelite Game Mode!
New Roguelite Game Mode.
Destroy as many enemies as possible each round. Game difficulty skyrockets.

New Arena Skirmish mission type.
Battles behave as they do in Roguelite mode: destroying as many units as you can.

Increased map pool by 20%.
Each mission has more locations. Additionally, enemies have more units but they are weaker.

Added option in battle menu to "Win Early". Useful for this new game mode. Also useful for missions that ask you defeat as many units as you can before timer ends.

Changed the way Haste works. Now gifts 40% of caster's concentration to target's speed and concentration rather a flat 40% increase.

Added option to skip opening scenes / battles.

Fixed issue with Rebirth where enemy would immediately fall again.

New Warlock Spellbook and Crash-Prevention
Introduced new Warlock Spellbook
Dark Bolt: Projectile magic. When blocked, the blocker can deflect to a new target.
Curse: Status effect that reduces magic/strength, but gives target ability to pass status effect onto someone else.
Mind Control: Become controller of target unit, until caster or target takes damage.

The game is now more stable. When a certain common type of crash occurs (with the AI), the game will self-correct. This should account for most situations where the AI crashes.

Improved Settings Interface

Improved Try-it-out battles

Fixes issue where you could not open a Treasure Chest

Fixed issue with Archer using Sentinel's Guard ability with his weapon.

Fixed issue with Fortune / Exp potions not working properly.

New Mysterious Dungeon and a Massive AI Speed Improvement
Introduced a 9-floor end-game dungeon full of very difficult enemies with powerful accessories. These missions will reward the player with the strongest accessories. Once completed, you can go through it again (but the difficulty is increased).

The AI is now about 300% faster! Some units will still take a bit of time (Sorcerers and Commanders).

Some missions now have accessories attached to their description indicating what you will earn upon completion.

Many other bug-fixes.

Split game into two Game-Modes!
The game is split into 2 Game Modes: Epic and Survival. The missions will barely scale in Epic Mode and there are no lives. People who enjoy grinding and getting good gear would prefer this mode. End-game content coming soon.

Survival mode has the difficulty rising very fast and have limited lives. EXP and gold are accumulated about 3 times faster. Players who enjoy a challenge and do not like grinding will prefer this mode. This mode determines high scores.

Existing files default to Epic Mode.

Fixed Some issues with HP / Strength / and Magic values since the last update.
Game will no longer crash when doing a Tutorial after playing a Game File.

Many other bug-fixes.

Special Treasures Added
Every 10 days or so, you are give the option of choosing from several of the new Special Treasures. These accessories do interesting things and may shape the way you play the game. Each one can be upgraded as well. You will see these items on enemies and mercenaries throughout the game.

Battle Improvement
Enemies teams now consists of many duplicates, rather than a random assortment of units. Battles should feel more unique and exciting now.
Enemy AI is slightly dumber in favor of reduced "thinking" time.
Enemy AI will attain Tier 4 equipment when it reaches high levels (beginning at level 200) rather than cap out at Tier 3.
