We recently released the Underboard demo here on NG, but it has been playable on Steam for a few months by now and we update it regularly, mostly in a monthly basis but also with some minor patches in between. Ideally the NG demo should also receive all updates so here's the latest one.

Challenges

We added a few challenge runs this time, these are experimental in part, but also possible masteries we want to have in the full game, which will function as the meta-progression system. The goal of the challenges is to provide a few more goals to aim for besides the collection, as well as incentivizing different ways of playing the game.

The following challenge runs are now available to players that have completed a normal run:

• Timeless (the run is lost after 30 minutes)
• Heartless (your dead characters revive as ghosts and the run is lost by failing a single combat)
• Hopeless (rewards only offer 1 base option)

Changes

• Characters with skills that perform multiple hits now try to get a new target if their current one became invalid between hits (instead of simply not doing the remaining hits at all).
• The Rebel skill Riot now deals 3 hits instead of just 1 and deals 40% more damage.
