Bosorka news & patch notes

Hey everyone, get on your brooms, because we have some nice news for you!

We are preparing a new DLC for Bosorka called “Witchrise”. It will feature a new gameplay mode, as well as a new broom and spells for it! It will be available in October.

Psst, that’s not all - everyone who completes a special secret contest can get it for FREE. All the details will be announced in our Discord. This is a limited-time offer and it starts September 26th, so make sure you don’t miss it!

We’ve also released a new update (which should already be live while you’re reading this) for the base game with a few fixes.

There are now new difficulty options on the broom selection screen. These affect the number of spawned enemies, the damage you deal and receive, and other mechanics. Choose the difficulty you like best-you can still get all the achievements by completing runs in Easy mode. We don’t lock achievements behind Hard mode if you find it too punishing.

• Boss Rebalance: Some bosses were overly aggressive and difficult to defeat, limiting players from crafting effective builds. We’ve adjusted their difficulty for a more balanced challenge.
• UI Improvements: We fixed issues with enemy health bars and refined some rough layout elements.
• Optimizations: Although the game runs smoothly for most players, we identified a few areas that could lead to stuttering during long sessions. These have now been addressed.
• Crash Fixes: A rare issue triggered by changing the localization in the main menu could cause crashes later on. We’ve resolved this to ensure a stable gameplay experience.

Hello everyone! We just published a new patch with some fixes and new content: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43068420/5ac7ff6ff71e40c6647ef0fb9cb5b4c9470267ac.png

• The creatures spawned by Leech spell will no longer crawl in the air on Abrupt Cliffs location. Additionally increased the starting charge for this spell.
• Fixed minor bugs with some other spells.
• Fixed some mistakes in localization.

We also have a small Christmas gift for everyone who has been a good witch all this year! Meet three new spells: Cucurbita, Cheliceria, Amberio. Collect them all to get absolute power to fight evil! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43068420/932d54615e10410985657b39f4f887f1fc0bcfe9.gif Happy gaming!

Hello everyone! We are excited to present to you a new major update! We have added a local co-op mode with split-screen, so now you can enjoy playing together with your friends on the couch! The game supports up to 4 players simultaneously. Additionally, with the help of Steam Remote, you can even play online! We are continuously working on further enhancing this mode and would greatly appreciate any feedback and suggestions from you! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43068420/8f240b2af266c0b083b8d705e64c114da7b774db.png In this update, we have made changes to the Motanka rune, now the more of these runes you accumulate, the more defensive bubbles you'll get. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43068420/19860efc46505af768d27c0dccef8c1b00f4d64a.gif We have also added a new rune that allows you to heal companions. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43068420/9c45a9dd037ba6bf3692c93e1a09bb5b4b4f87bf.gif And we added lore for creatures in the bestiary and for some locations! We hope you like it. Furthermore, we have fixed numerous major and minor bugs that you reported, while possibly adding a few new ones ;) Thank you for your support and we hope you enjoy the new features and improvements. Happy gaming!

Enhancements

• Bestiary! Now you can not only view the characteristics of creatures and runes but also learn about their origins and additional information. For each lore entry, we have added new trials that allow you to unlock them. We are still working on creature descriptions and will make them available in upcoming updates
• Curses! By completing special trials at different levels, you will have the ability to apply curses to yourself, which change the game rules in new playthroughs. These changes are aimed at experienced players, making your run more challenging and offering new rewards
• New achievements! Based on your feedback, we have added even more trials for which you will receive new runes, as before
• Added dungeons that contain trials to unlock new curses. You can find their entrances in the Wells located at the end of certain locations
• New runes have been added to the game, such as: Firesteel, Leech, Red Rose, Silver Mirror, and Bufo. We look forward to seeing the new combinations you can create with them
• New item - Trinity Stone, which allows you to purchase one of the three well-known runes
• Adjusted balance for damage, health, and useful items at each level. We are experimenting and refreshing the pace of your runs, hoping that you will enjoy these changes
• The overall run now consists of four chapters. This slightly increases the time for each run, giving you the opportunity to create even stronger rune builds and unlock their potential
• Improved AI for elite monsters and bosses. They will now have more interesting and powerful attacks Additionally, some bugs that you may have encountered in previous versions of the game have been fixed
• "All-inclusive"! Your brooms now have amulets and curses attached to them
• You can now refresh the assortment at the Waterman. Find what interests you, but will it be a free action considering his greed? - A rhetorical question
• Added Statue of Chornoboh. (The person who wrote the description for this update was afraid to activate it. Maybe you will be braver and give it a try?)
• Enhanced visual effects in various locations, including the abilities of the Viper broom
• You can now revive fallen companions with their souls. A very welcome exchange
• Changes also affected active runes. As a result, the Black Candle rune creates fiery sparks from defeated fire enemies, and the Phantom Heart rune has now become legendary. Let's welcome its upgrade!
• Improved interface scaling in the game, displaying inflicted damage and effects. Added new information: the ability to see fallen companions
• As usual, we have further optimized the game, fixed a number of rare and minor bugs that you have reported to us before

Improvements

• Brand new location with new unique boss and creature...also there are tornadoes! Prepare your spells and don't forget about the safety belt, it's gonna be a wild trip!
• Trading Cards! Badges! Backgrounds! Emoticons! All this is now available via Steam, we've put lots of effort and love into them and hope you will enjoy collecting them all!
• You gave us feedback about saving progress, and we heard it. From now on you can exit the game and after, continue your run. Just be aware that after loading you will begin from the start of the Сhapter.
• Scaling UI options! If you would like to make an in-game UI smaller or bigger - this option is for you. It will be helpful both for someone who would like more space and for someone who plays the game on a smaller screen which makes text harder to read.
• We reforged the balance of the game, and now you will have many more lootable objects per Chapter, keep in mind that opening them all will require extra effort.
• As we are implementing new localizations we updated all the fonts of the game as well to support extra characters and symbols. They are now stronger, and faster they are better!
• We've read that some of you didn't quite like the basic parameters of Vitreous broom, so we refined them. Also, this broom has a reworked ultimate ability!
• You can now destroy acid bubbles of Bolotyanyk on the Swamp location, it's not like he will be happy about it though.
• Hola amigos! We now fully support Spanish localization. If we will gather enough requests for your preferred language we might add it next updates as well, so just make your localization branch on forums and see how many players are also awaiting it!
• Did you know that working without focus is not effective? Well, now that we know it, it's time to practice it properly - let's not work at all if we lose focus. We applied this philosophy to our game as well, and now you have the option to freeze the game when you switched the game window to something else.
• For those of you who like a clear view we added an option to hide damage numbers, so you can see more clearly how enemies receive spells in their demon faces.
• Healing totem gained more power, it will now give 5hp to your companions and 1hp directly to you.
• We tweaked the balance of a few spells like Bubbles and Ecballium. This rebalance reduces charges in one and increases damage speed for the other.

Bug fixes

• Sometimes ability music didn't play properly after unpausing and reviewing, well now it's not the case anymore.
• We will find out who did that to you! Our in-game detective system can now track more precisely who or what did a fatal blow to a young witch and display it properly on post-death screen statistics. Now go and get your revenge on that exploding pumpkin!
• We had some issues in the previous version with attracting items with a Copper Pin rune that now are solved.

Improvements

• New music on Deceptive Forest
• Altar with coins can now be activated with hits
• The Copper Pin rune now attracts only the required amount of apples for healing
• We are preparing game for full, 100% compatibility with Steam Deck, this and possibly the next update should fix remaining issues
• As we are preparing new localizations there were also a few tweaks in existing ones, including the default language that is now using your game client preferences
• The player will now be invincible for a short amount of time when taking damage or upon reviving
• Now when maximum health is capped after taking a Silver Comb cursed rune the health bar becomes inactive instead of disappearing, so when you get rid of cursed runes you get back all your locked hearts back

Bug fixes

• Fixed a bug where there was an improper amulet and a spell in the bestiary that appeared to be locked
• Fixed stamina bar not showing up properly when you had stacked a lot of additional bars of it
