Slayers, Decimators, and Gutters of Loyalist forces! A new update is here!

This time we focused on the rework of spell and effects animations. New visuals fit the minimalistic-pixel style of the game, while giving more punch to the spells, making killing enemies more fun! Check out the updated Strikes of Judgement (aka chain lightning) - it's my personal favourite now. Don't forget to leave a comment with your favourite spell!


On top of that we threw-in some treats. All for the better harvest of poor loyalist souls:
- 2 new enemies
- 1 new spell
- A small update to waves to increase variety of encounters
- Main Menu and bug fixes

New visuals!

Updated effects not only look better, but also serve a purpose of visual feedback! Now it's easier to know which spell is selected, how long your Moon Shield lasts, which enemies are hit and which enemies receive buffs from their companions!

• Every spell received a visual uplift
• Added 2D lightning system for better immersion
• New attack and death animations
• New effect for barrier ability
• Indication of selected spells that is connected to the spell's "element"
• Indication of Moon Barrier effect and it's breaking

New enemies!

Two more loyalists are after Baba Yaga’s hide!

A newly added Militia is a support/disruptor character that will protect their friends with a large shield! You can't target enemies behind the Militia, which will give quite a shake to your plans!

The second enemy is a vicious Fanatic, consumed by he's holly wrath! Equipped with a giant axe he wears only his faith as his armor. Watch out, as this enemy is fast, can endure a lot of damage, and increases his power with each damage taken!
