Greetings, Rift Runners. We haven't published a full patch recently with our focus being on engine/IWC stuff, so here's a double whammy, with two new heroes!

Cathleen, a powerful aggressive value-driven character, who has a flexible array of tools for beast and men alike.
Their hero power is Reinforcements. Put a copy of a target friendly unit on the top of your deck, and it gains Charge next turn.

• Tracks the Cowardly, your early-game unit, which buffs a random unit in your hand on death but only for a single turn.
  
• Terror Moose, A charge unit that moves a target unit to the defense zone when played,
  
• Haunted Elkmare, your beefier base unit with Untouchable, for avoiding opponent's effects
  
• Umbral Warden, A heavy striker with Charge and Bloodthirst

• Cleanse Impurities, A spell that can either buff your own units, or damage opponents units, with upgrade potential. Very versatile.
  
• Shamba's Unity, buff a friendly unit, and it gains Untouchable.

• Shamba, Reborn, A beast which grants a permanent stat buff to your allies as long as they remain in the assault or defense zones.
  
• Memorial to Heroes, which creates a copy of each unit you control, as well as all buffs and debuffs.

The only important point of health is your last, damage yourself and your opponent and live life on the edge.
Their hero power is Reckless Rampage, dealing 1 damage to themselves and their opponent.

• Vicious Ransacker, a unit which gets stronger whenever you take damage.
  
• Reckless Zealot, cheap and charge based, but also gains double it's stats for the turn if you are again below 5 health.
  
• Noble Protector, which harms your hero to deal damage to another unit when played
  
• Decimator, the beefy boy that damages ALL units and heroes whenever it attacks.

• Power of the Underdog, A damage spell that turns into a kill spell below 5 health.
  
• Intimidating Rally, Moves a target defending unit to the support zone.

• Klore, Rapier Centurion, A low-cost high-health unit, who only takes a max of 1 damage from all sources if you're below 5 total health.
  
• Fiery Wish, which gives every single card you draw Charge, for the rest of the game.

If you're interested in the full Infinity Wars Classic patch notes, you can find those HERE. Alternatively, we hope you enjoy the new content.

Greetings, Rift Runners. It's been quite some time, but here's the newest hero to feature in Infinity Heroes!

Pras, the Traitor is a Cultist and Flame Dawn mixed deck that is aggressive and is able to manipulate the battlefield.
Their hero power is Revenge, which targets a unit that dealt damage to them last turn, and kills it.

• Ghost Knight, a low cost unit with Resist.
  
• Black Bind Witch, that helps buff another unit as long as it's on the field.
  
• Demon of Fear, which can be upgraded for a heavy cost to stop your opponent from blocking a turn.
  
• Decimator, a Multi-Strike unit with Trample.
  

• Ferocity, giving a unit an attack buff and moving it to the assault zone.
  
• Void Split, that kills an enemy unit, and buffs two random friendly units based on the killed unit's stats.

• Subjugated Dragon, a defending flying dragon that turns into demons upon death.
  
• Ablaze, which immolates your opponent, doing damage over time to them.

Pras is the 20th hero to be released, and we're looking forward to seeing how he fares.

Also worth mentioning, is we have a new bug reporter menu that we've been actively using for the Infinity Wars Classic pre-Alpha, and it functions in Infinity Heroes as well! So, if you run into anything pesky or broken, we can start fixing IH based bugs with a lot faster results now hopefully!



Our focus recently has been on the Infinity Card Engine, as well as IWC, however now that we're approaching a comfortable level on these, we're going to be giving some love to IH in the coming weeks as we prepare for an eventual open-beta launch, hitting free to play in the Steam Store and hopefully bringing in more players for everyone to go against!

The menu has undergone a significant improvements to better make use of the space available on PC, this should better allow you to look at your roguelike decks, view the content of heroes and much more.

Many improvements and updates to the roguelike gamemode have been made, including tuning to various AI decks, and cards that can appear both in enemy AI decks and the card pools that are from our prototype IW2 game.

Your account is now granted various objectives every 24 hours, to a maximum of 3 quests at any one time. Completing these will grant currency that you will soon be able to use to purchase cosmetics and other items in the future. We currently have 6 quests and will be expanding this number soon.

• New Global Relics
  
• New Battlefields
  
• Improve the asset bundles to improve loading times
  
• New cursor
  
• New Infinity engine logo
  
• Ingame Deck display now allows zooming
  
• Improved visuals of roguelike choice panels

• Fixed old save files causing corruption
  
• Fixed rest stop duplication error
  
• Fixed crash at the final level of roguelike mode
  
• Fixed asset bundles breaking with custom heroes
  
• Fixed attack triggers not working in specific situations

In our latest patch “Adventure Expanded”, Our results for the Infinity Card Engine are starting to really ramp up, and that means new stuff to show off in Infinity Heroes, including our new overhauled Menu system! It’s so much more interactive, and feels like an amazing improvement. We also have more cards in Adventure mode thanks to our efforts on the Infinity Wars 2 Prototype. Speaking of, in the coming days we are going to be turning off the ability to grab access to the Infinity Wars 2 Prototype, as we don’t want too many people to be witnessing the first playable versions of the game.

We’ll also have more to share regarding Infinity Wars Classic in the coming weeks, so our oldest fans should stay tuned for more.

Additionally, with the UI improvements, there’s now a lot more functionality that’s been added to the Adventure Mode, which pairs in amazingly with the new cards that have also been added in to give more variety and spice to your deckbuilding potential. Additionally, the ability to view your deck as a whole while building it adds a great deal of clarity to the entire mode. Now you know exactly what you do, and will have as you head into the upcoming rounds.

And as always, we’d love to hear from everyone on Discord, where we’ve been hosting Dev Team streams, where our players can come and chat, challenge us to a game, and ask us whatever’s on their mind across any of our games. If you’re not already there, check the link out and we’ll meet you there!

You WILL need to agree to our updated EULA in order to use this feature. Not to be boring, but you should only upload artworks that are appropriate, and content you own the licenses to, all that other legal talk stuff.

If you want to show off how far your hero can get, report problems, give suggestions, or just chat to the Dev team at Lightmare, we'd love to have you on our Discord, where we've been having weekly livestreams and connecting with you directly.

Welcome to patch update for 0.6.2 ( and 0.6.1 )

We’ve been hard at work fixing up a lot of the core functionality of the game, and also working on the in-app store for later use. Here’s the big patch notes for both 0.6.2 and our previous 0.6.1 that released quietly in between, as well as some hotfixes we threw in there in-between.



MAJOR FEATURE: Infinity Heroes Store
Infinity Heroes now contains a limited store page ingame for access to in-app purchases. On PC linking your Infinity Heroes account to your steam account will be required. We will be expanding this store over the next few weeks as we add purchasable backgrounds, new heroes and other items. Purchases will be made using the Steam Wallet but all items purchased will be cross-platform.
MAJOR FEATURE: Infinity Wars 2 Preorder
Purchasable in the store now! Infinity Wars 2's Pre-Alpha Prototype Preorder gives you:
- Access to Infinity Wars 2 ( Available via IW2's Steam page, Soon™ )
- Access to the pre-alpha Infinity Wars 2 Prototype build of the game within Infinity Heroes ( Available in IH 0.8 )
- Lava Battleground (timed exclusive) in both Infinity Heroes and IW2 ( Available in IH 0.7 )

Unlike the separate release, the IW2 Prototype gives you full access to a playset of every single card from Infinity Wars 1 as they are coded in. This product is for experienced Infinity Wars players who wish to give early feedback on the game directly to the developers, and those Infinity Heroes players who are ready for something more complex and challenging, by being able to eventually deckbuild with the entire Infinity Wars 1 collection of cards.
