Since Lords of Xulima launched on Steam Early Access on August 8th, 2014, we have received lots of quality feedback.
One topic that has come up numerous times is how difficult the game is on certain settings, and the balance. We brought this up on our latest version update, and are still working on all the tweaks for make the balance perfect. Eventually we will be adding a new class: The Divine Summoner. This class will have its own set of balance requirements to fit in with the rest.
