Cult Survivors 0.7.0.0 Update

Hello Followers,

This update brings one of the biggest changes to the game so far! We have changed how the game is played by adding what are known as “Player Backgrounds”, or backgrounds for short. These backgrounds will give you powerful bonuses and add a whole bunch of variety over every run! Additionally we have added stats screens now, so that you can see exactly how your run is going and how your run went at the end. For detailed information please read below:

• Player Backgrounds:
  • Player Backgrounds are a way to introduce more variety into the game and each run, while not having it be limited by in game slots, like followers.
  • Before the start of each run you will pick a background, the associated benefits and negatives will be displayed for them on the screen so you are aware of how this particular backgrounds plays.
  • Additionally from now on you won’t have the choice of selecting any weapons from the pool of all weapons available currently, but instead each background comes with 3-4 weapons that are available to that background for you to start with. These weapons are what we feel fit with the backgrounds playstyle or thematically fit with the backgrounds.
  • It is up to you as the player if you want to lean in to the particular playstyle of the background or just round out your character that run.
  • For now this update brings 5 backgrounds, but we already have many planned out and will potentially continue to add 1-2 more every update.
• Stats Screen:
  • We have added two new stats screen to the game so you can have more information about your current run.
  • One stat screen is in the pause menu of the run, this one has information of all the important stats of yourself and your weapons displayed and how passives and such are influencing them (weather positive or negative).
  • The other stats screen comes up at the end of the run. This one has information on your level, health, damage taken, healed, enemies killed, and other addition information that we though the players would like to see.

Some minor changes:

• Map rework: we have added more assets and made the map look better!
• Scaling has been reworked to make the game a bit more difficult.
• Small bug fixes.
