Check out the full changelog below or jump straight into the game!
New Sssymbiontssss:
Macuahuitl
With a razor-sharp edge finer than many a deadly blade, the Macuahuitl will make quick work of Yotun’s enemies with a quick slash across followed by a finishing downward blow.
Let dis Macuahuitl chop da way for da advent of Run-Arok – Shaman Vordagg
Katar
Beyond being awesomely spikey, the Katar will give Yotun even more flexibility of movement when he fights enemies with it. When performing a hard attack with the Katar, Yotun will also dash diagonally.
Pierce da heartz of monsterz with dis dagger and offer their livez to the godz – Shaman Vordagg
New item: Totem
Who said Yotun had to do all the hard work by himself? Using the new Totem will make battles all the more satisfying. When the Totem is placed on the ground, it gives off an Aura that will grant different Area of Effect bonuses to Yotun when he fights within it.
Diz little bud will cheer you on, during da fight – Drupa Snoopa
New Enemiesss:
Raptor
Durnar has no limit to the deadly and vicious creatures you’ll find in the shadows. Be sure not to underestimate this clever girl.
Moleshark
Yotun is going to need a bigger…symbiont to have a chance against the new Molesharks. Stay aware, they hide and move underground, jumping out to attack at the least expected moment.
Reptilla
Forget about watching your tail, you’re going to want to keep your eye on Reptilla’s two tails! With double the chance to knock Yotun out with her whipping tails, she’ll be even harder to take out with 3 whole health bars to deplete.
New elite enemy: Elite Raptor
Just when you thought you had enough of raptors, you’ll find the mother of all raptors, blocking you from going deeper into Durnar. Yotun will have to defeat her if he is to fulfill his destiny as the Chosen One. We want you to get the full experience of the feeling of fear that grips you when you first see her, so you’ll have to find her in the caves if you want to see what she looks like.
New NPC: Drupa Snoopa
Don’t let his cute look deceive you, Drupa is a skilled alchemist and your first point of contact to discuss improvements to Usable Items.
Drupa Snoopa Upgrades:
- Drooch Power – increases the strength of all Drooches
- Grenades Power – increases the strength of all Grenades
- Rootraps Power – increases the strength of all Traps
- Totem Power – increases the strength of all Totems
- Scrapping Usable Items – unlocks the ability to Scrap Drooches, Grenades, Traps, and Totems
- Drooch Duration – increases the Duration of your Drooch (Dark Drooch is not affected by this upgrade)
- Totem Duration – increases the Duration of your Totems
- Hotbar – unlocks the third Hotbar Slot
- Craving for Drooch – permanently increases your Drooch Max Stack Size
- Craving for Grenades – permanently increases your Grenade Max Stack Size
- Craving for Rootraps – permanently increases your Trap Max Stack Size
- Craving for Totems – permanently increases your Totem Max Stack Size

- Trap Amount – increases the amount of Traps you can find in Durnar
- Totems Gathering – increases the amount of Totems you can find in Durnar
New Troll traitsss: Crazy Bomberman (P), Hedgehog (P), Never Ending Hunger (N)
Die. Be reborn. Die. Be reborn again. But now with new traits.
- Crazy Bomberman (positive) – Grenades are the only Usable Item that Yotun can find, but all Grenades receive a 250% Damage increase.
- Hedgehog (positive) – Yotun’s rolls deal damage to enemies based on his Armor Value.
- Never Ending Hunger (negative) – In each Lock Room, Yotun “eats” one random stack of Usable Items from the inventory.
New Ultimate ssskillss: Vortex (Dark) and Overcharge (Shock)
Unlocking new Rata skills not only changes her appearance but also her role on the battlefield:
- Vortex (Dark) – Rata throws a Vortex Orb that pulls in nearby enemies. After 30 seconds it explodes dealing massive damage. While the Vortex Orb is active you have a Mana Cost Reduction for all Mutations.
- Overcharge (Shock) – Rata grants you a surging Shock Aura that deals Elemental Damage to the enemies around you. You gain a huge bonus to your Break damage. Every Charge attack and ending attack in a combo chain cause a Shock explosion.
New Mechanics
Mana System Rework – To make combat more challenging and to, later on, increase the power and impact of Mutations, we reworked how Mana Regeneration works. Now instead of passive regeneration per second, Yotun replenishes Mana per Hit performed on enemies.
Mutation Power, Rarity, and Harmony – We have completely reworked how Mutations work. Now, each Mutation has a Power stat which increases its Damage, Elemental Damage, and Mana Cost. Rarity affects less straightforward stats like ranges, radiuses, and duration. Harmony modifies Damage and Elemental Damage based on the Element of Mutation.
Bio and Shock elements rework – We have changed the effects of said Elements to make them more evenly matched with other elements. Additionally, we changed the relationship between elements from Fire > Ice > Bio > Shock > Dark > Fire to Fire > Ice > Shock > Bio > Dark > Fire to improve how they interact with each other.
Enemies Elemental Buffs – Up to this point elemental differences between enemies were mostly different attack sets. Now each Element has its own set of bonuses that apply to most of the enemies.
Equipment Scrap – Turn unwanted Symbionts, Mutations, and Armor into Scrap which can be used to order Custom Equipment from Village Denizens.
Buff/Debuff Notifications – Now Players can see icons for various types of buffs and statuses that affect Yotun temporarily.
Break and Resistance stats name change – to make their meaning more clear, we renamed Break and Resistance stats into Impact and Stability.
