Forbidden Dungeon Launch: v.0.5 is here


The Heartland has fallen. The Demon King’s army holds the fields, and someone in the capital is selling them the spears. Here’s everything new in this update.


💀 ACT II — THE OCCUPIED HEARTLAND
🗡️ 6 new dungeons: The Withered Fields, Thornwood Edge, Ashmere, The Webbed Deep, The Iron Depot and the act boss, The Muster
🗡️ New enemies: the Demon King’s army, the Iron Order knights, satyrs, direwolves and the Spider Queen
🗡️ A full Act II ending with 10 new CGs, plus new faces: the Veiled Voice, and the Entity’s secret about the red threads
🗡️ A new "End of Act II" screen when you reach the end of the current content. Keep playing, farm gear and level up while Act III is on its way


💀 SHADOW FORM (unlocked after Act I)
🔥 Aldric can switch into his Shadow Form mid-fight as a free action
🔥 Summon Shadow Knight and Summon Shadow Mage, even into an empty rank
🔥 Ascension turns your Shadow Knight into the Elite Shadow Knight, with armor-piercing strikes, Riposte and the Crown of Skulls
🔥 All-new blue hellfire effects


💀 LEVELS & EXPERIENCE
⚔️ Heroes now level from 1 to 6, gaining HP and damage
⚔️ Dungeons, enemies and gear all have levels, and higher levels drop rarer loot
⚔️ Skill upgrades at the Crimson Embrace now need hero levels 3 and 6


💀 COMBAT
🩸 New condition: Burn. A short, brutal DoT that also scorches armor (-10 PROT)
🩸 Lust Haze and Consumed now stick, like stress in Darkest Dungeon. You need to bring Lust well down to shake them off
🩸 Anti-stall: passing and swapping cost Lust, and dragging out a won fight makes the girls restless
🩸 At 100 Lust, Aldric can grab a heroine too
🩸 +10 accuracy for everyone, so fewer frustrating miss streaks
🩸 Bleed and Poison keep the stronger effect, and repeated debuffs no longer stack forever
🩸 Enemies focus your front rank more, and stuck enemies now fight back with a Desperate Strike


💀 BALANCE
⚖️ Big hero rebalance: the overpowered AoE skills are toned down, and each one now covers its own zone
⚖️ The Healer’s Cleansing Prayer is now the best Lust removal in the game. Crusader and Bunny also get stronger team cleansing
⚖️ Riskier skills hit harder (Shadow Slash, Phantom Lunge, Vulcano)
⚖️ Mage: Fire Bolt hits ranks 1–3 from level 1, and Fire Torrent now Burns


💀 LOOT & TOWN
💰 More drops: 40% from normal fights, 100% from elites, and the act boss drops 1 Epic + 2 Rare
💰 Item levels matter: about +15% per level on all stats
💰 Fallen heroes’ gear comes home as long as someone survives
💰 HP is fully restored after every expedition, and Aldric’s Lust clears in town
💰 Church: buy a second penance cell
💰 Shops show Upgrade / Sidegrade / Worse against what your heroes wear
💰 Loot is fixed per room, so no more reload-scumming


💀 A WHOLE NEW LOOK
🕯️ New main menu with Continue and your last campaign at a glance
🕯️ New dungeon map with fog of war, living candlelight and a room info panel
🕯️ Redesigned combat screen: turn order, rank badges, attack preview, and a new skill bar
🕯️ Every town screen redone: Blacksmith, Emporium, Merchant, Inn, Church, Crimson Embrace and Tavern
🕯️ New party screen: change ranks with arrows, sort your roster, and inspect any skill
🕯️ Blood sprays, pools on the floor, sparks and bone chips, plus ambient effects for every location. All of them can be switched off in Options
🕯️ New options menu, dialogue box and reward screens


💀 TUTORIAL
📜 Tips now appear the first time you meet each thing, right on top of the screen they talk about
📜 Pregnancy is now explained the first time it happens


💀 BUG FIXES
🔧 Crashes fixed: Summon Reinforcements, leaving the tutorial, and the End of Act II screen
🔧 Blood Rite (Vampire) now actually works
🔧 Max HP gear no longer grants permanent HP every fight
🔧 Stun stars no longer float over corpses, and item pop-ups no longer appear twice
🔧 Fixed: black screen after Options, the tutorial music playing twice, and dead heroes staying on the roster
🔧 …and many more under the hood
