What's new?
Hey there, version 0.93 is live! We now have a new NPC (shop), an option to config your gamepad and lots of balance changes. The Vamp Hunter won the second hero vote and is now waiting to join the team soon.
The Scoundrel
No idea how to waste your hard earned gold? The scoundrel offers some special goodies that might be worth a look. Every hero has to clear dungeon 3 in order to unlock the scoundrel, he can be found on the preparations screen. Here's some info about the current stock:
• Rings: Permanently increase your EXP gained.
• Skull Compass: Always shows the boss room on the minimap.
• Canting Halo: One bonus statue\nin every stage.
• Dice: There are 3 different dice, that offer a set of item stats. Choose one stat (per dice) that will have a 15% chance to appear on all future items, even if the stat normally doesn't show up on that item type.
• Sin Potions/ Demon Ex: Remove a chosen blessing stat, one time use.
• Respec Drink: Respec your stat points, one time use.

That's it
Although they are expensive, the scoundrel's artifacts really improve the late game experience. So, we got a new NPC but no new hero class this time. Don't worry, I'm working on them. "Them?" Yep... :-)
