Deathmatch Re-introduced!
To streamline the action, players are given two random spells which will re-roll as a new random spell every time they are used. Additionally, special passive upgrades like stealth and shields can be collected from the new power-up points placed in the map.
We think this should make for some frantic fun without any need to get stuck in complicated menus or too much worrying about getting the most optimal build.
Jump in to a quick session of fantasy battle chaos and tell us what you think of the new deathmatch (Solo) mode!
New Kingdoms Rise Beta Live Now
The new Kingdoms Rise (rebuilt on Unreal Engine 4) is now playable through the 'Kingdoms Rise Test' app.
If you own Kingdoms Rise you should already have 'Kingdoms Rise Test' in your steam library, simply download and play to try out the beta of the New Ue4 version of KR!
Don't forget to tell us what you think of it,
Stay Tuned and have a Merry Christmas! :)

August Hotfix now Live!
Melee System
- Missed have added back-swing time, increased to make initiative like the original system
- Getting parried bars you from re-attacking for a short time (like original system)
- Damage is now based on swing speed (avoid taking hits from back-swings and swing beginnings
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=297410732
- scaled damage based on hit position along the blade (so hitting with handle hurts less, hitting with blade tip hurts lots)
- increased time window to parry a parry-lock swing
- made parry-locks no longer require holding the parry button all the way up to the contact point (it's now automatic this like old system)
- REMOVED: Dash attacks
- (slightly) reduced the 'player facing' angle threshold for parries (so shields can't block attacks coming from behind)
- Moved the attack-v-attack clash timing so that they happen more like in the old system
- CHANGED: The timing for combos
Interface
- FIXED: key-binding menu
- FIXED: volume sliders don't work
- FIXED: M&B mode not saving out to client configs
- FIXED: Cloth and hair tones not saving to client configs

Misc
- Made shields more fallible, more harshly judge timing
- FIXED: Attack back-swings have no fade-out blend
- Screen effects (blood etc.) now clear up while spectating/dead
- Wing Capes have been removed for the sake of those people who suffer lag issues becomes of them. They will be added back in once the game has adequate options to support them.
Known Issues still not fixed in this hotfix:
The Disconnect button can still cause the game to crash
The landing animation cuts off the fire-circle animation
Chat is still weird while dead and across round changes
