Balance Patch #4
Primarily an update focused on card and upgrade tweaks. Mainly with an eye towards balancing, as well those upgrade combinations that break the game a little too much.
We're also sharing a Google Sheets in the Discord with some raw data on Cards/Upgrades, for the curious and/or for any wiki efforts. You can come check that out and join the community over on the Discord!

Balance Patch #3
Hey everyone!
This one's more of a regular update. We've improved readability of Token values by having them show up in the tooltip. We've also reworked Flail in to the new Topple Card, which should be a bit more useful. As well as a general fix for stat-based Achievements that were getting stuck just before the Achievement.
We also fixed a somewhat egregious exp share bug that reduced the bonus exp gain that solo and duo teams should have been getting. Solo monsters were gaining 2x instead of 3x the exp of the average monster in a squad, with monsters in Duos hit particular hard, gaining only half the exp that they should.
Check out the various other bugfixes and tweaks below, leave a review if you've been enjoying the game so far, or come join us over in the Discord!
Best Regards,

The Post-Launch Balance Patch
Hey everyone!
We're back with a more sizeable post-launch Balance Patch. From lowering the difficulty for Easy missions, to significant reworks of certain Bosses. As well as overhauling the Fly Cards to be more viable. We've also slightly increased the limb drop rates some, though we might increase it further pending how things play out.
This should smooth out the new player experience as they find their sea legs, smooth out the variance in Boss difficulty somewhat, while also finally firming up the build viability for Wings which we've had our eye on for some time.
There've also been all sorts of bugfixes since the last patch, as the increase in players has teased out all sorts of bugs from the woodwork that we'll be doing our best to burn through, with some of the more dire or alternatively more easily fixed bugs included down below.
Feel free to check out the nitty gritty details, leave us a positive review on the Steam page, or come join us over in the Discord!
Best Regards,
- Multicell Games Team.

Early Balance Patch #0.5
We're pushing out the first half of our Balance Patch early, mostly to deal with the much maligned Rabid, notorious run-killer that it is, among other tweaks.
We'll also be tackling the somewhat underwhelming Wing cards soon to bring them up to par with everything else. We've been seeing some inventive builds getting shared around in the Discord, as well as the Steam forums, and we're looking to enable even more. So look forward to the second half coming sometime later this week.

[Balancing]
- Reworked Rabid to be less immediately devastating to decks not built for it. Now starts at only consuming a single card, but keeps duplicating itself.
- Slightly reworked Adrenaline, having the base card Draw Next Turn, so that it no longer triggers longer and longer chained loops, potentially infinite in some cases.
- Seeing Red's impetus gain is now immediate, but consumes itself, to differentiate from Grounded
- Reduced the cost of High Metabolism from 3->1
- Reduced the cost of Relentless March 2->1
- Tail Whip now deals more damage 4->8 to all, and no longer draws
- Baiting now has retain and consume on its base card
[Bug Fixes]
- Fixed Loading Screen bug caused by the launch build, that could happen if you chose a broken upgrade on Warning Signals or Antivenom, due to the save conversion being incorrectly implemented.
[Combat Bugs]
- Cards that are being dragged, that suddenly get consumed, now get released from the drag. Stopping it from sticking to the cursor until end of turn, even after being consumed
- Potential fixes for a racing condition that can happen with Cards that are being consumed due to Death, being interrupted and drawn in to Hand instead, surviving the Death event.
[Token/Card Bugs]
- Fixed attack momentum and block momentum upgrades in some cases being unable to increase the amount
- Fixed Charge!'s convert upgrade only removing attack momentum from the description, but leaving in the effect
- Added in missing Pursuit upgrade
[Minor Audiovisual]
- Scout tooltip no longer shows up for cards that have yet to be upgraded with Scout
