Update #26: Doomsday Is Upon Us!
It has been a hot minute since the last big update and things are heating up still! The update #26, version 1.2.0 is now out! There are some nice additions packed in this bad boy and I will now give you some highlights on what to expect.
Update Highlights
Doomsday - The Hidden Archipelago
Of course the star attraction here is the new DLC: Doomsday. As with the last DLC, upon purchase and activation you will get a popup denoting a new questline (provided you have gotten out of Capernaum). This quest will take you across a new open world map that has been loaded with new obstacles, deadly enemies, shiny new materials and a whole lot of things to smash to bits and pieces in pursuit of new items and abilities. The Steam store page will tell you a bit more of what to expect if you choose to embark on this new adventure. As with the last offering, don’t want to spoil too much in advance, so you will just have to see for yourself.
Check the DLC here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2147250/DYSMANTLE_Doomsday/
ps. We have already started the porting process for other platforms as well, so sit tight.
Now for all of the stuff you will receive for free!
New Endgame Area
Some of you who worked really hard to push through the Ark might have felt that when you got the Power Fist, there wasn’t anything to really use it for. Thus we tasked the poor level designer to make up a really hard and nasty endgame area with an accompanying quest to offer a tough gauntlet with a really sweet food recipe at the end of it. Now you know what you have been stashing those Namazu for! The new area is activated upon reaching the escape pod at Crown and going a bit back to the “helipad”. Upon arrival all should be clear.
Surreal Door & Deathless Runs
If you have managed the arduous task of obtaining the key, you can now open the door and see what lies beyond. Remember to think like a proper magpie and snatch anything that seems valuable to take with you.
We also added a death counter into the Collections screen under Total Progress so you will know for sure how many times you have expired. Also fixed are some pertinent issues, so using Amber Mana Pills will not count against gaining the key.
New Game +
You might have found a map of the Island at the Ark level 2. There are some red lights which seem to denote certain locations or objects. If you manage to turn all those lights green, you will get to go deeper and reach a way to start over. You will be able to retain some things (such as the prizes from the new area and beyond the surreal door) in addition to your level, skills and all materials put into the Ark.
Once you start the next cycle, everything will otherwise be as when starting the game from scratch with a fresh save (including the possibility to reach the surreal key). Well, that was a lie. Enemies will be a bit tougher and there might be some new dialogue in certain places. NG+ cycles are not limited, so head deeper and deeper if you wish, but it will only get more challenging.
New craftables
Paint brush will allow you to paint those disturbingly white walls and some of the objects and furniture you are able to build. You can finally have as good looking (or as unsightly) adobe as you wish.
Rubber duck is a trinket that stops you from drowning. We know it is quite aggravating to be in a tough spot and backpedal into a lake when defending yourself against undead threats. Rubber duck will teleport you safely back to land without any loss of life.
Portable monster scanner should be a godsend to those people who want to do ascensions, as you will now be able to check monster positions out in the field instead of heading back to link tower each and every time. As alluded earlier, there are now additional incentives to doing ascensions besides only gaining some more of those smooth and shiny mana beads. Ascension level is also now shown per area in the Collections screen.
Quality Of Life
You can now set your preferred gamepad icon sets in the controls options. This should make it much more comfortable to play with your chosen controller and not worry about popups and interactions having some weird non decipherable symbols that don’t correspond to your chosen hardware. You are able to choose from Xbox, PS (colored/grayscale) and Switch icons. Do note that this is only available for some platforms, such as PC.
The upgrade list is now ordered in the way that fully upgraded items are moved to the bottom, to ease on the visual clutter and making it more clear what you are able to upgrade. The invention tree has also gotten a slight revamp. The leftmost branches have been reworked from three to two sub branches which should have better progression.
We also did some rebalancing around certain items and craftables that people felt were either too strong or lackluster. You should now find more reasons to change your loadout from time to time and perhaps try new approaches and builds. I’ll leave the details to the changelist.
On the technical side we have managed to optimize memory usage and texture sizes which should speed up the game on hardware on the lower end of the spectrum. Save backup system has also been revamped so that the game creates a backup file every time the game is saved, instead of at certain intervals. This should lessen the impact any unforeseen happenings might cause.
Whew, now onto the actual changelog:

Up Next
Of course there will be a post release patch to fix any issues people might be having. At the same time we will be porting the new update to other platforms. Then again, that much is clear. I know what you are really here for.
We mentioned the last time we did a news post that we weren’t sure whether Dysmantle would head into maintenance mode or whether we will make another DLC. I have both good news and bad news. The good news is there will be a continuation, while the bad news is that is the extent of the information I am able to share with you at this date. We hope you will find enough enjoyment from this update that the wait for the next communique won’t feel too long. See you later!
Dysmantle: Doomsday will release on 19th of April
As alluded to in the previous announcement, we are also tying some loose ends that have been hanging for the longest time. Like with the last DLC, we will also release a free patch concurrently with the DLC containing all sorts of fixes and new additions. In that patch you will finally be able to get a prize for doing that deathless run, discover a new *tough* end game area near the Crown (for those people who wanted some uses for that power fist) and we also added a new game+ option into the mix. We hope you are looking forward to the release of Dysmantle: Doomsday and version 1.2!
ps. The date will be changed to the correct one on the store page with a little delay.

Undead Horde 2: Necropolis Full Version Available!

Announcing Dysmantle: Doomsday DLC
After a period of radio silence we are happy to broadcast once more and what better way to return to the airwaves than with a banger! We are very happy to announce that the second DLC for Dysmantle called “Doomsday” is nearing completion and will be released into the wild in the near future, which is most likely during April. We don’t want to give out a specific date at this point as it is more of a “when it is done” type of deal and we wan’t to make sure the product is up to snuff.
Like with the first DLC Underworld, Doomsday will contain a brand new open world map filled with multiple new quests and challenges to overcome. You will slay and be slain by new types of enemies while scouring the map in search for exotic materials. There are a host of new tasty food recipes and ingenious inventions to craft, some of which are very tantalizing. We think it is a pretty dense package with a lot of content to chew through. So prepare yourself for a venture into the Hidden Archipelago which houses “Three Sisters”, a shadowy and somewhat conspicuous research center dabbling in mechanical marvels, biological horrors and amoral scientific practices. Inside you might find some answers to long time questions and hidden mysteries, but more importantly a new source of things to whack, slash and dysmantle.
As with the last DLC, the release of Doomsday will be coupled with a patch: 1.2.0 Update #26 to be exact. You can expect to find fixes to bugs, technical optimisations and free content in the form of new inventions, one of which should make searching for those pesky monsters a bit easier when preparing for ascensions. I don’t want to spoil too much so you’ll just have to have a look yourself when the time comes.
Here is a nifty link to the Steam store page of Doomsday, which might give you some valuable insights on what to expect. Of course a good way to be informed on when the DLC is available is to wishlist it, but that is your prerogative!
Dysmantle: Doomsday
So what is next for Dysmantle? We know that there are some plot threads dangling in the base game in the form of a certain red phone and an aggravatingly hard to procure key. These will be resolved in a future patch. What happens after that is up in the air and the two options at play here are to either develop a third DLC or start the process of transitioning to maintenance mode and ceasing regular updates and development on the project. We haven’t arrived at a decision yet, but thought it proper to give an advance warning. Once we reach a decision, we’ll communicate it.
ps. Doomsday will be released on all the same platforms as the base game and the Underworld DLC, but these will be ported after the initial release and will take some time.
Undead Horde 2: Necropolis Now Available
Undead Horde 2: Necropolis is now out on Early Access - the undead are marching! About one fourth of game content is now open and playable in this version.

Update #25: Underworld Revisited
Hello folks! It has been a busy couple of weeks here in 10tons offices. After releasing the Underworld DLC and the accompanying patch 1.1.0 out in the wild we have received a lot of feedback from you people, both positive and negative. Reception for the DLC has been somewhat mixed, so we sat down with the team, put our thinking caps on and identified some key points where we could improve the overall experience.
While our coders have been hard at work squashing bugs and deploying hotfixes to common issues people were having with the release, our level designers started the process of making some sweeping changes to the DLC content. I’ll go through some of the highlights of the update before posting the full changelog. Some of these changes have already been deployed via hotfixes, but for clarity’s sake these will be highlighted as well.
Do note that due to time constraints, this update will contain some new text strings that haven’t been localized yet to our other supported languages. These will follow a bit later.
Update Highlights
Changes to DLC enemies
The mana enhanced enemies specific to the DLC do offer some added challenge as the players need to get rid of the protecting mana crystals before being able to damage them. However, the players felt that they were limited in ways they were able to deal with these new foes. We made two large changes to how they work. First of all, the enemies now receive low damage even when they still have crystals on them. Secondly, you are now able to use power attacks and explosives to get rid of all of the mana crystals at once. This change should offer some new avenues to approach enemy encounters in the Underworld.
The Mana Spirits are a formidable foe that can really be a challenge to fight if you encounter them unprepared. We added a small info screen to explain the concept of the enemy when you first encounter them in the same vein that the Scrapper is introduced at the start of the game.
Changes and Additions to DLC content
The Underworld is quite a different beast when compared to the base game Island, both visually and in how the player traverses and explores the area. We received a huge amount of feedback concerning both the layout of the new map and about the general feel of it. On that basis we have revamped the map layout and made some new additions.
First of all, the Underworld now has three link tower areas instead of just one it had before. This change should make the map more approachable as the player is able to see parts of the map earlier, helping to plan out your expeditions and explorations into the unknown.
Speaking of exploration, if you have played through the DLC before you might notice that the map looks different than it used to. Although in-universe everything could be explained away by the magic of mana and the mysterious nature of the Underworld, the reality is that we made some extensive revamps to the map terrain in places where we felt the terrain was too complex to traverse or otherwise confusing. This should make traveling around the Underworld feel more clear cut and focused.
Of course you should also have a good reason to traverse around the Underworld again, if you have already completed the DLC, so what better reason to get back on the trail than to discover some of the new areas we have added since the initial release! These additions can be divided into two rough categories: Spicing up areas that felt a bit barren with new additions and few completely new areas to explore. There are new campfires, POIs, text content and who knows, you might even find a new quest or two!
As a clarification, this new content is not “cut content”, but content that was developed after release based specifically on your feedback.
Home Portal Long Range Recipe
As you might deduce from the name of the recipe, with this upgrade the player is now able to use the new home portal invention in places other than the main island. This feature was planned, but didn’t manage to make the cut in time for the initial DLC/patch release. We hope that this addition will change your quality of life for the better.
Building Additions and Fixes
Inner Walls buildable pack is a new invention that was originally deployed in a hotfix, so it might have been missed by some. You now have the ability to build inner walls to your abode, as a house is only a hollow shell without the ability to divide the space up into rooms. Included in the pack are a wall, a doorway and a newly added pillar for good measure.
There are also a good number of fixes to the whole building feature, including but not limited to optimizations to the building UI screen so it loads faster and workarounds to situations where the players managed to trap themselves into a never ending cutscene via building, a terrifying prospect for sure.
The building feature is planned to get some more features in the future, but we’ll discuss them at a later date.
Those are the large changes this time around and we hope you’ll enjoy them. Next up, the full changelog.
