Dandara, our bold heroine in the directionless bizarre, gravity bending world, gets an update. There's news both to players who want a tougher challenge and for those who prefer a smoother journey with options making the game easier. Here's a list of changes:
Rebalancing of the difficulty curve and general quality updates, examples:
- Shorter time for using essences (Health and Energy flasks).
- Rebalancing the last boss challenge, for a more fun and fairer one.
- Rebalancing of the Dream Lands.
- Redesign of the Mosquito enemy.
- Sound alert when Dandara is at low health.
New Game+/Challenge options added after finishing the game for the first time. The following can be turned on:
- Permadeath, Dandara dies permanently without the ability to respawn.
- Harsh Wounds, Dandara takes double damage.
- No Grinding, Pleas of Salt can only be found in chests, meaning enemies or destructible objects won't drop them anymore.
- Vengeful Enemies, every enemy spawn a revenge bullet in Dandara's direction when killed. The revenge bullet can be cancelled by leaping through it while it is stationary.
Easy options added. The following can be enabled:
- Unlimited Energy, secondary powers won't drain energy.
- After dying, respawn at the last door entered. Enables the player to retry the challenge of each room without the need of backtracking to it.
- More Flags mode, which adds more checkpoint flags throughout the map.
