Paladin / Alchemist / RPG / Arena update
A free DLC-sized update is coming out on March 21st. At first I wanted this to be a separate DLC, but I decided that splitting the player community is a bad idea and earning just a little bit more money isn't worth it. I want everyone to enjoy the same game.

- new Endless Arena mode where you fight waves of enemies
- new hero: Paladin, who has divine shield and does double damage to undead
