Prepatch, release date and preorder of the DLC Iratus: Wrath of the Necromancer
Hello, necromancers!
Today is the day of good news!
Let's remind which new stuff this DLC will include:
- Two new minions — the Reaper and the Abomination
- Additional skins for 15 minions
- New alchemy mechanics: battle potions
- New enemies on all floors
- New bosses for first four floors and a final super-boss
- New (sixth) floor
- New game ending with additional outro video and story content
- New items and artifacts
A more detailed list of the upcoming content in the DLC can be found in the previous blogpost: https://store.steampowered.com/newshub/app/807120/view/2870439853374923383
1. Players have often paid our attention to the shortcomings of the randomness of the Transmutation, and asked us to implement a more guaranteed and reliable way to improve the parts. We decided to meet the wishes and added (to supplement the Transmutation) the option to improve the part which is already in the minion, with the Diggers' Souls (20, 40, 80 for each step).

2. There have also been many displeasure players because the game profile automatically deleting after playing the game. Now game profile is saved even after finishing the fifth floor. Thanks to this, you always have the opportunity to re-watch the final video, load the old quick save, look into your inventory and achievements, and save progress before DLC Iratus: Wrath of the Necromancer to continue your conquest from the sixth floor.
3. After analyzing your feedback for all this time, we changed the mechanism for generating maps and squads to make the walkthrough more dynamic, fights and squads more varied, and the improvement of the minions and Iratus more rapid.
4. And — of course — balance changes! In short, we added Features to all the remaining minions, for example, Zombie now Ignores
