Hello everyone!

Update 1.4 has been released, a smaller update that adds some new things to the game:

  • Customizable Keybindings

    Gameplay keybindings can now be customized in a new Keybindings screen, replacing the old Controls screen. Accessible from the in-game menu.
  • Lightning Arrows

    Provides Rangers with a chance of firing a powerful Lightning arrow instead of a regular arrow when attacking. Lightning arrows explode in lightning on impact and can jump to enemies behind the explosion, dealing damage to each unit hit as well as heavy damage to enemy shields struck by the lightning.
  • Wildfire Arrows

    Provides Rangers with a chance of firing a powerful Wildfire arrow instead of a regular arrow when attacking. Wildfire arrows explode on impact and ignite a damaging fire that spreads across the ground.
  • Dodge

    Provides Rangers with a chance to dodge incoming melee attacks, completely negating their damage and effects.
  • Retaliation Shot

    Provides Rangers with a chance of firing a Retaliation Shot at their enemy during a successful dodge, dealing bonus damage and knocking down infantry.
