Tower of the Sage
Patch notes and small patches
These patches are balance changes and hot fixes. I try to limit them to once a day, but if something is not functional I must fix it as soon as possible. I will now focus on the game stability and optimization over adding new content, which will take probably a week. Please let me know if you have any issue, suggestion on discord or in the discussion tab and I will come back to you as soon as possible.
Have a great day! :)
0.0.4b
- Changed assasin starting deck - now it contains 4 strikes, 4 defends 1 smoke bomb and 1 bola
- Added 5 new cards to assasin with new mechanics.
- Changed some card color where some skill would show up as red ( attack ) card. This is just a visual change.
- Modified loading screen.
- Removed a bug where some card ( like throwing support ) was added to your deck - which should be a hidden card to pull off a mechanic and will not trigger exhaust effects anymore.
- Fixed maximum texture size on multiple textures which should lower the loading time a bit.
Following bugs will be fixed today without patch note :
- There is a small button to remove widgets - which will be removed.
- Tooltips on cards will be correctly displayed.
0.0.4a
- Burn has been reworked and now deal unblockable damage once and after removed.
- Poison has been changed from now on it decrease by 2 every turn. ( and will be nerfed in the close future if necessary )
- Assasin has been released as the 3rd character.
- Achievements has been enabled - steam achievements not yet.
- Balance changes - most of the late game enemy has been buffed, so late game should not be faceroll anymore.
- Talent costs has been increased - different cost calculation.
Assasin
Assasin has currently 4 talents instead of 6 and talents will not give any passive bonus. This will change in the future as I receive more feedback on balance.
New mechanics regarding Assasin:
- Mana reserve - you receive extra mana at the start of your turn equal to your mana reserve.
- Knives - Gain a knife at the start of your turn.
Most card has been modified slightly, poison and burn cards has been tweaked, added new unlockable artifacts.
Achievement system is enabled and by unlocking achievement you will unlock artifacts and in the close future skins. Currently the unlocks are hidden, which will change during the week, sadly I had encountered lots of issues and did not have the time to do the visuals for the unlocks.
Plan for next update :
- Increase ascension levels
- Balance the assasin properly based on feedback and add passive talent upgrades
- Fix achievement visuals so you can see what you unlocked. Sync up the steam achievements with your in-game one.
Plan for the next content update :
- Enable new map ( finally )
- Add 2 more enemy and encounters with these enemies
- Add new story encounters and randomize story encounters ( 1 out of 2-3 possible story encounter)
- 2 new battle maps
- New artifacts and cards
Also plans for the close future if I have extra time :
- New sound effects
- New particle effects
Sorry for the delay on this update, please as always let me know if you find any bug and I will do my best to fix them.

Patch 0.0.3a
Major changes :
- 5 new enemy characters and encounters with these characters added!
- 3 new battle maps and 3 story maps added
- 4 new artifacts
- Map specific boss fights implemented - with 1 map so far - more on this later.
- New story encounter mechanics ( now story encounter decisions affects the map difficulty slightly )
- Ascensions ( up to ascension 3 ) are unlockable! The difficulty will increase on every ascension level, which will let everybody enjoy this game on their own difficulty.
- Due ascension system base game ( no ascension ) is slightly weaker - however who has beaten it previously ascension lvl 1 should be unlocked!
- Further ascensions will be updated every couple of days as I find interesting ways to adjust difficulty.
- Achievements are disabled for couple of days while I`m doing the visuals for them, HOWEVER they are still counting your wins, beaten ascensions, won combat encounters, loses etc. As soon as the achievement system is active you will claim all rewards you earned - like different skins, new artifacts etc.
Map changes :
- Instead of 3 separate maps you can see the whole scenario on 1 updated map.
- Will enable the next map as soon as I am happy with the quality, which might be delayed until mid-week update.
Bug fixes / minor changes:
- Talent training bug has been fixed.
- Added reminder to use talents.
- Changed game over text and victory text.
- Changed button locations - now properly aligned.
Lots of small balance changes which I will not list - but basically burn/poison builds are weaker, berserker talent is a bit weaker and minion health is larger.
Please let me know if you have any issue on discord or discussions. Probably on this large update you might encounter some problems, but I will fix them ASAP.
Patch 0.0.2a
Quality of life updates :
- Save game system has been reworked so now its more reliable.
- Now you will not lose experience, talent and talent upgrades if you alt F4 or have a power cut.
- Updated textures where it looked odd and recolored status effects, reworded some confusing tooltips .
Important updates :
- Updated talent system! From now on your talents will upgrade all card which part of its talent tree. Some gives a healing effect, some give random cards to your hand or steal part of the enemy soul to convert it to mana for you! These will be refined during the next weeks, now they might be perfectly balanced.
- To combat talent system relative power-creep cards has been re-balanced ( especially poison and burn builds ) and late game encounters might be a bit harder if you dont think about your talent effects.
- Early game enemies has been nerfed a bit to fasten the pace of the game - so you can try more builds easier and faster.
- Campfire now heals 40 OR you can discover cards.
- Some artifact has been re-balanced and now the stronger artifacts are less common! ( currently 3 rarity - common, uncommon, rare - they will be color coded in the near future )
Plans for the next patch - which will be the first CONTENT update patch, which will come ( hopefully ) every week once - this first one will be a bit smaller due to time limit and system implementations.
Planned release date : 17.04
- Updated and new maps! I am intend to release 1 brand new scenario and update the current one.
- New enemies - orcs ( 3 ), new goblin, new demon and possibly a humanoid character.
- Released ascension system for the first 3 ascension for harder difficulty!
- New story encounters ( about 6 ) and encounters with the new characters!
- New battle maps ( 2-3 ) for encounters to make them feel more diverse.
- If I will have time probably enable in-game achievements so you can check your progress.
Due to time limit I must delay the new character ( hunter ) release since I was not able to test it what so ever to the next week content update.
As always please let me know if you have any suggestions or found a bug via Discord or discussion tab and I will do my best to help.
