Steampunk epic gets patched up
Huge improvements to the fantasy RPG ‘Dark Envoy’, inspired by players, go live today.
Recently launched fantasy CRPG (computer role-playing game) Dark Envoy has received a huge patch om response to player demands.
In the process, the game’s creator, Event Horizon, has also created more content and depth to the adventure.
Three massive “hotfixes” and Patch 1.1 were released within the game’s first week in the market, addressing common technical problems. Now, 1.2 is the biggest patch yet for the steampunk fantasy.
This will lead to substantial quality-of-life features. Most notably, the gameplay experience will be a heavy focus on balancing, covering skills, enemies, and tactical environment while adding new content. A DPS testing ground and a challenge arena with handcrafted combat scenarios will test the player’s party-building skills to the limit.
“It might sound like the obvious thing to do, but we genuinely wanted to create a game for the players to enjoy,” says Event Horizon CEO Krzysztof Monkiewicz. “The community feedback was an integral part of the development process of our first game, Tower of Time. We believe we have a unique game here and won’t give up; we will continue to fight.”

– Added Challenge Arena (requested by community)
