Can't really comment on progression or quests this time around (didn't have more than 20 or so minutes to play), but I will say the amount of polish in the UI, combat, visuals, lighting, sounds, etc have all been dramatically improved since I last played maybe less that a year ago.  It's obvious you work hard and thorough, keep at it.

Back at it again, killing in the tower with some new additions. I'm loving the quests that were added and all the small environment details. Killing monsters is fun as ever and I've gotten pretty good to not die through my playthrough this time. Look forward to the rest of the skill tree and upcoming content. 

Archtower Hotfix 0.3.9.1

• For new players firstly you go for the camp
• Ice Shards crystal skill changes - more adequate spreading, higher damage
• Fire Blast crystal skill changes - faster cast, higher damage
• Bug is fixed, there were problems with a big pile of goblins at 2-3 for new players
• Other minor fixes

Incredible combat, fighting enemies is very satisfying. Atmosphere is great, gameplay is great, sound effects are good, this is still an amazing game. Hope to see even more progress.

Can't believe I waited so long to try this game. It's great! The sound effects in particular are so good. I really don't have any criticism. I can't wait for a full release.

great game has so much potential it's unreal, love the little touches with stepping on cockroaches and getting headshots with rocks. not sure if it's a bug but if i got close to some walls or corners lights in the level would go out.

Most important changes since last DD:

• New parry system (prevent enemies' attacks and blocks with well-timed strikes)
• Small chests, contain power crystals
• 3 new crystal skills
• New casting animations and effects
• Some trees are much easier to walk around, except those that serve as way blockers
• Statues foundations are bigger for pathfinding purposes, so enemies won't stuck at those anymore
• Map and minimap are reworked
• Increased Fame you get for retirement/death, having traits and traumas improves it
• Slings drop less often for most classes
• Using pet crystals (like Barrel Destroyer) requires part of your skill resource to be reserved to maintain
• Barrel Destroyer has some changes, mostly nerfed, but now you can Reactivate boosting its attack speed when it is already called out
• Crystal skills don't increase its cooldown by 25% for Trick Points users (DEX and DEX+INT classes) anymore
• Now you have a message when you have a new traumas
• More clear description of some quests
• Redone Tower Upgrades window, also Tower Attendant is shown on map, by its icon you may know that you have new upgrades available
• Light helms now have an innate bonus to headshot resistance (half of the heavy one's analogs' power)
• Can't save in combat or if enemies are chasing you
• Crystall skill Thunder Strike buffed, higher damage, range +20%
• Smoother camera
• Bug is fixed, sometimes some mobs could get behind bars of jail cells and stuck there
• Better optimization, especially for a Floor 6
