Dark Envoy's first major patch improves graphics, gameplay, and co-op
Polish-based indie developers Event Horizon will release a massive update for Dark Envoy on PC via Steam and GOG today at 5 pm GMT. Dark Envoy is a non-linear RPG inspired by the likes of the Divinity series, XCOM and Dragon Age.
Dark Envoy combines classic RPG mechanics with a skill-based combat system centered on classes and specializations, while integrating diverse tactical approaches to battles. Players command a party of relic hunters exploring the vast land of Jäan alongside their companions. The immersive storyline unfolds through a solo campaign or can be experienced with a friend in the comprehensive online co-op mode.
The gameplay experience will be a heavy focus on balancing, covering skills, enemies, and tactical environment while adding new content, such as a DPS testing ground and a challenge arena with handcrafted combat scenarios that will test the player’s party-building skills to the limit.
Full Update list:
- Added Challenge Arena (requested by community)
- Added Training Room for testing out custom builds
- Removed “Jankiness” from animations – various and massive fixes to combat and cutscenes
- Improved graphics in dungeons and cleaned up combat visuals to make it much more tactical, less hack’n’slash gameplay
- Improved graphic quality of in-game cutscenes
- Gameplay balancing to incorporate community feedback gathered so far
- Updates to classes and specializations – change or upgrade least favorite spells
- Improved enemy AI
- Over 30 major and small Quality of Life features requested by the community
- Ability to respec skills, expanded combat summary statistics, two new tactical objectives challenges and more
Dark Envoy is out now on Steam and GOG, and until December 27th will have a 20% off sale. The game is also expected to release on Xbox.
