Mounts! Gamepad is back! And huge UI improvements!
First, in case you haven't noticed - you can update Edge to latest version and it *should fix* the gamepad issue. If not, please let me know.
Secondly, I finally added the option to buy mounts per hero! So now everyone can mount, but you first need to capture these monsters with the Beastmaster.
Also, I did some pretty big UI changes. Hope you like the new UI stuff.
As always, this update contains some balances and tweaks. And a new Ghost Buster mission instead of the boring old one.
And lastly, do you think there's a hero that is too weak and urgently needs a buff? If so please let me know.
Thanks!
