Main Known Issues
Still we have some issues for which we don’t have a permanent solution just yet. We will keep updating you on the ETA of fixes for them.
These include
Fixing Trixturgh boss fight
Softlock of the progress after cancelling boss death animation. We recommend abandoning a run and collecting the rewards if you have encountered this one. Additionally, we ask everyone who has this issue to report it in the feedback section of the Steam discussion!
Ultra Widescreen support
Issue with ORX launching on the wrong monitor. For now you can press Alt+Tab to switch the game to Windowed mode, drag it to the preferred monitor and press Alt+Tab again.
Lag spikes and FPS drops

ORX — 1 Day Until Launch
Greetings, Kings and Queens!
And so we're here, a mere day away from launch. So, what does ORX look like entering Early Access?
Check out the amazing Launch Trailer we've prepared and see for yourself!
In Early Access ORX will include:
Fully playable 4 Act rogue-like campaign
2 playable Factions with distinct gameplay
4 biomes with distinct sub-biomes
7 types of orx and 4 Bosses
Elemental and Sephiroth Systems
Hundreds of cards for your deck
The Encyclopedia where you can check out the cards and learn lore about them
And much more!
The best thing about this? It's only the beginning! We will add many more features to ORX in the future, so stay tuned for the Road Map to come!
Today's card pick had to be special too. The one most useful card. The gold mine. The meta-farming Legend. It's Farmlands, of course! So, what can we learn about them from the Encyclopedia?
The Kingdom of Medea would gradually shrink due to endless wars and eventual natural disasters. Still, it retained its fertile and abundant fields it was known for.
Sounds like the World of ORX wasn't all that peaceful even before the coming of orx! Maybe, we could explore it more some time in the future? *wink-wink*
That's it for Today! Tune in Tomorrow for... THE EARLY ACCESS LAUNCH! Set a reminder from this post to not miss the release!
