Thank you for your patience and feedback, it genuinely helps. Please report any issues in the appropriate discussion thread.
There are 3 new difficulty modifiers to help players customize their experience further
Ever-Expanding: adds an additional floor to each stratum and slightly reduces gained experience. Unlocked after 3 total wins. Will be unlocked retroactively if conditions are met.
No Monster Criticals: Monsters cannot deal critical strikes. Automatically unlocked, applies negative difficulty rank multiplier if enabled.
No Turn Limit: Exceeding the stratum time limit has no consequences. Automatically unlocked, applies negative difficulty rank multiplier if enabled.
Added a number of skills, including passive and active ones. Some are upgraded versions of existing ones and can only be obtained through skill development. Some examples include:
Blood Ammo: Allows firing even with no ammo remaining, consuming HP instead.
Caustic Deluge: high-tier poison cleave spell with a chance to inflict poison and corrosion.
Karmic Flow: Stance. While active, damage dealt is reduced, and a small percentage of that damage heals the ally with the lowest HP.
And there are more than 20 other skills in this update for players to create more varied builds across runs.
A new variant boss added to the First Stratum, that may appear instead of the usual boss.
Added 10 new monsters, scattered at various stratums.
Added 10 new equipment items and 2 consumables, including a hammer that triggers an explosion with every hit.
A new unique ally can appear at the camp!
4B 4E 4F 57 4C 45 44 47 45 52 45 43 4F 52 44 45 52 00
Two new events have been added. An alternative to Locked Chest that relies more on intelligence, as well as an event that may occur in late game if the players are having a tough run.
Added an ending track and a track that plays after defeating the boss of a stratum.
Added and polished several sound effects.
12 new achievements have been added. Some of these are unlocked retroactively if players meet the requirements.
Logbook now includes a Statistics page where you can find information about your runs.
Some of these statistics were tracked before 1.1, while some, like the lowest turn count were not.
Some item and skill descriptions have been updated to be more informative.
Overall gameplay improvement based on player feedback.
In combat movement: Movement logic has been simplified and move can be used in combat through a skill button.
Player party moves after the movement speed duration has passed. If a monster moves to block the players movement, there will be no time wasted and the movement is interrupted from that point. Enter/exit combat will not take time anymore.
There should be less need to wait for monsters to approach now and kiting away from monsters is more dangerous.
Some skills have had their tier reduced or increased and some skills have had numerical or behavioral adjustments. For example, skills that were triggered on their users killing blow now trigger on all adjacent deaths. Railgun now requires ammunition, but has been buffed to compensate, boasting lower turn delay, higher damage and critical rate.
Most skills were given visual and audio tweaks.
Some monsters have been adjusted, such as third stratum boss and the final boss.
A few of the new statuses may not have their tooltips properly yet localized in some languages. We apologize for this and are currently working on these and will patch them as soon as we can.
Rarely some passive skills (stances) may stop working. If you encounter this, reloading the game usually resolves the issue. We are still investigating the issue.

Hello Crawlers!
We’re excited to introduce a new bundle: THYSIASTERY × Wizardry: The Five Ordeals
THYSIASTERY A dungeon crawler RPG featuring traditional roguelike and turn-based gameplay. Command a party of bearers of the Brand, drawn into a vast Labyrinth. Recruit while exploring the Labyrinth in hope of finding a way out, and its secrets will be revealed as you delve deeper.
Wizardry: The Five Ordeals The classic dungeon crawler released back in 2006, returns to Steam with improved UI and more. Experience a deep dungeon crawling RPG. This game was created by the main staff that worked on the popular RPG series back in 2006. In this game, players can experience many different dungeon crawler RPGs using the same base system. Available for the first time on Steam and outside of Japan with enhancements to the UI and much more. Official scenarios seen for the first time each with dozens of hours of gameplay.
If you are looking to expand your DRPG library, this bundle brings together two distinct takes on the genre. Thank you very much for your support!
This patch focuses on simplifying gun and consumable scaling, along with adjustments to healing. More drastic balance changes are planned for the upcoming 1.1.0 content update.
Let us know how the guns feel after these changes.
Qiling spends less time buffing itself and more time hitting the player party.
Cath Palug's health has been increased, but its high damage combo in long fights has been toned down.
Removed Stunning Strike from MELCHIOR.
Forest Wolves action speed needed a nerf.
Punishment now deals a small amount of damage in addition to moving the party.
Adjusted how many Advancement Points recruited allies start with.
Martial Artist, Mageblade and Commander now have Dexterity-scaling variants.
Adjusted the loot tables for many monsters.
Adjusted the damage and scaling of damaging throwable consumables.
Adjusted the damage and scaling of all guns.
Energy Drain now has a range of 1 and requires some Intelligence investment to be effective. It remains powerful, but this should introduce some risk into using it.
Minor Mass Heal was nerfed slightly.
All healing stances were buffed to get them closer towards the power level of Minor Mass Heal.
Lesser Regeneration and Mass Lesser Regeneration heal a little bit more.
Reduced the tier of Awaken by one so it is cheaper to learn.
Fixed some dialog formatting issues.
Fixed a Berserking targeting issue.
Fixed a bug where you could get stuck in the intro.
Added larger deadzones for UI navigation to avoid stick drift problems from faulty controllers. If some players still have issues with unintended navigation, check that you don't have any odd input devices enabled (virtual or not).
Now if map generation during save loading fails, new events are spawned and the loaded ones can't block the passage forward anymore. This seems to be very rare, so if you notice it happening, we would love to see your player.log file.
Thank you for your patience and feedback, it genuinely helps. Please report any issues in the appropriate discussion thread.
Our recent dungeon generation overhaul affected how often many events spawn. This small update adjusts those spawn rates and fixes a few issues that slipped through.
Fixed several issues with the dungeon generator.
Balanced event spawn weights.
Fixed a trading bug.
Fixed doors not working properly after loading.
Counter no longer works against ranged attacks.
More consumable items now stack in the inventory.
Custom characters start without default starting items.
Thank you for your patience and feedback, it genuinely helps. Please report any issues in the appropriate discussion thread.
Some of the most enthusiastic players should have already unlocked every achievement, but a few sneaky monsters were still haunting the bestiary. These have now been removed, and opening the bestiary should unlock the achievement.
Unless anything unexpected comes up, the next patch will focus on game balance, tuning some of the more degenerate strategies and improving how enemies scale with higher difficulty modifiers. Development will also shift toward creating new content for the game. Saves from previous versions are teleported to the camp of the Stratum they were saved in.
Dungeon generation has gone through an optimization and stability pass. The way forward should no longer be blocked by a secret wall.
Achievements that were previously bugged have been fixed.
Allies will no longer be hit by Area-of-Effect attacks while benched.
Fixed the Confusion status condition localization and behavior.
Fixed Steamdeck menu navigation.
Dead allies will no longer haunt camp rest.
Text tags will no longer appear in event dialogs.
Fixed harvester loading when time has run out.
Fixed unique allies regaining skills on load.
Custom allies can no longer be sneaked into a game already in progress.
The Doomed status condition can now be dispelled.
Cultist Husks now have an additional attack.
Reworked where and how many open chests spawn.
Adjusted some loot drop tables.
A small buff to the final boss.
Kiting harvesters should now be slightly harder.
Adjusted skill development.
Thank you for your patience and feedback, it genuinely helps. Please report any issues in the appropriate discussion thread.
First of all, thank you to everyone playing THYSIASTERY and sharing feedback, bug reports, and suggestions. We are actively reading reviews, forum posts, and messages across platforms while working on hotfixes and improvements.
Alongside fixes and tuning, we also want to share what kind of new content and features you can expect in upcoming updates.
We are expanding the difficulty modifier system that allows players to customize the experience more.
Examples include:
Option to disable the Dungeon Timer
Option to disable monster critical hits
These modifiers will decrease the difficulty rank of the run.
We will be adding a number of new skills. The goal is to enable more varied builds and strategies across runs, particularly to support archetypes that currently need more depth:
Improve poison and bleed playstyles with skills that allow players to temporarily remove enemy immunities
More equipment will be introduced to make runs more unique and expand build possibilities.
A few new monsters will be added, including some that didn’t make it into the 1.0 release as well as entirely new threats waiting deeper in the Labyrinth. Currently only Stratum 2 has a variant bosses, so we're planning to add a new one for stratum 1 as well to vary things up more.
We already have at least one new event planned, along with improvements to existing events. For example, we would like to make the Bloodthirsty Shrine more interesting and impactful.
Looking a bit further ahead, we are also exploring ideas for a 1.2 update. Planned additions currently include.
Stratum 3 variant boss
More events
Moreover, there are features we are interested in exploring, but they are still in consideration. They may change depending on feasibility, team capacity and development priorities.
Workshop integration
Seed of the Week style runs
Combat movement / Mouse movement controls
Icons for damage types
Explore some optional metaprogression

Added Wait and Defend hotkeys (T and G by default)

Adjusted how sleep behaves on monsters
Nerfed the starting stat values of Thug/Warrior/Hexer

Some stances and passives may not always register properly. Reloading should fix the issue. We are looking into why this can happen.
Second stratum may generate two wells still, but only one may be used.
A necessary path for progression may be blocked by secret wall. We are investigating this. This is unrelated to other generation issues.
Thank you for your patience and all your feedback, it genuinely helps. Please report any issues in appropriate discussion thread.

Characters base stats are shown in the character sheet when below their base values

Stat tracking has been fixed and made more robust
Stat charms incorrectly giving diagnose fixed

Increased the HP of the Stratum 4 sealed door monster.
The HP increase from the 'Deadlier Monsters' difficulty modifier now scales more aggressively at higher levels.

Thank you for your feedback and patience.
There were some issues with controller rebinding. Reworked the system to fix the most glaring issues. Currently the Cancel action updates to the new button only after saving the keybinds and keybinding menu submenu navigation is disabled for now.
Ghosts of dead allies no longer help the party open chests.
Playstation controller Square/Circle icons flipped to the correct position.
Changed later ranged enemies to be slightly less oppressive.
We are following and taking your feedback on game difficulty and will tweak things going forward.
Heyyy everyone, the day has come!
So... You really want to go inside?
