  • HD GUI option
  • New game screen (start, lift, finale…)
  • Journal (highscore, stats)

  • And Mac version (Warning: no multiplayer cross-platform and heroes shortcuts are disabled)


smiley: warning If you were playing on the branch version, please make sure you opt out of this Beta and play on the regular version.



Multiplayer

The co-op mode gameplay is very similar to a solo game but shared with 2 to 4 players. Players control 1 to 4 heroes each, but with a total limit of 4 heroes. They share the Dust, the Crystal, the built modules and the room powering. Food / Science / Industry, the Inventory and the Researches are split. Each turn, the FIS productions are equally divided between each player. You can use the chat below the log and by clicking on the FIS bar (top left), you can open a resource exchange interface.
The victory condition of the floor is still to put the Crystal in the lift. The defeat conditions still remain the Crystal destruction or the death of all the heroes. A player without hero can continue to play (powering rooms, building modules and so on) and can hire an available hero encountered in the dungeon.
There is obviously no pause. The result is a game more intense and dynamic… especially if your teammates are out of control.
