Hello Knights!
We're back with Update 1.2 - Knights Reforged! This massive update is easily in the top 2 or 3 for biggest updates ever! Take a look below for what this huge update includes!
Also, be sure to check out the very bottom of the patch notes to see the exciting news for 2024!


Weapon Mods

We wanted this update to be focused on strengthening existing systems to better fit our design intentions and we started with Weapon Mods. This huge overhaul involves replacing 28 mods with brand new ones, improving a bunch of existing mods, and adding new Ultimate Mods!
Ember Blade


We introduced some new mods to help provide broader access to early synergies and we also gave the Ember Blade a new charge attack.
Guardian Bow


Through community feedback and data analysis, we learned that the charge attack wasn't getting used as often as we had intended. To help make charging the Guardian Bow more viable, we improved its functionality as well as introduce some new mods to help promote the playstyle.
Nexal Staff


The Nexal Staff received some of the biggest changes. While we felt like it was already performing quite well, we also felt like the mods could be doing more to play into the "skill use" aspect of the weapon. To achieve this, we added mods that help increase skill damage as well as scale the Orbs damage based on your skill damage %.
Rift Hammer


With the Rift Hammer, we wanted to make improvements to help promote damage and survivability and we did that by introducing mods, Heavy Blow and Defensive Stance.
We improved Leap which can be found under its new name, Combat Slam. Now, you'll be able to control the length and landing position of the leap.
We also added Volcanic Rift, similar to its predecessor Fissure but now with a larger range and fiery AOE.
Razor Wind


Through community feedback, we learned that a lot of the original mods, while unique, were not as useful as we had intended. For the Razor Wind changes, we decided to move away from manipulation and focus more on how players were already using it with increased functionality for normal and charged attacks.
Reaper's Toll


The largest of the mod overhauls, many of the original mods for Reaper's Toll leaned towards isolated effects rather than synergizing with other effects.
We've now focused on the charge attack, ammo, and "Slashed" status to refine the weapon's identity.
Ultimate Mods
We've also added a new Ultimate Mod for each weapon which becomes available when all other mods for that weapon are unlocked. This is a free mod that can be activated without needing to choose between other mods. Give them a try and let us know what you think!


Ember Tree



It was also time to improve the Ember Tree and for that, we updated almost every upgrade option as well as add a bunch of new and interesting choices!



Also, check out the brand new completion sequence!


New Relics

Next, we looked at the pool of relics to see how we could push stronger build synergies, especially with Wisps. We also introduced the concept of Perfect Rooms and Perfect Bosses; rooms cleared without taking any damage.
To this end, we added a bunch of new relics including the DEMONS Mode Community Contest Relic which was designed in collaboration with Tfeh for being the one and only person to complete the DEMONS challenge. A huge congratulations to him for an absolutely epic run!


So much more!

This is a massive update so keep reading for the full list of additions and improvements but before you scroll down to see the complete list, please consider voting for us in the upcoming Steam Awards! We'd be extremely honored to receive your vote for the Better with Friends award.
