Hey all!
New this update are Omen difficulties. These are optional modifiers you can toggle on or off, and can be used with or without Corruption activated. They are essentially super Corruptions, with each of them being far more impactful than any single Corruption effect. There are 4 in total, which are unlocked as you progress Corruption levels. They provide an experience bonus when activated, and each have a new achievement associated with beating them in a certain way.

This major update also brings a rework to Corruption 20, new map events, and balance changes. There are still lots of requested features I want to add before shifting development to the sequel, and I will also be looking at the possibility of translations soon. Thanks for the support as always.
