Is the new player experience going to be a bit more streamlined? Currently if you play the demo, the first items you'll get will often have no mechanical effect, and that was kind of confusing. Locking stuff with no immediate use behind beating level 4 or something might help reduce initial friction a bit.

Like, kill wolf -> get worn arms (obvious what this does and why it's useful).

kill wolf -> get pendulum (wait, why does moving sides around matter, are these dice weighted or something? Why is this an item?)

With tons and tons of added items and stuff I can easily see it getting harder for newbs to understand the start.

yeah after you've played it becomes more obvious, but it's currently entirely possible for a new player to get multiple items which have zero mechanical effects at the start, which is bad tutorialization.

in addition to the tier 0 items which are basically just intentionally useless joke options

Awesome.

I recently discovered level 4 heroes after actually playing with curses and taking a curse that was -1 hero.

It gave me a relatively broken character with a cool background. Playing levels 21-30 sounds like you're very likely to have more level 4s.

..............but will there be generic level 4s now?

One of the features that's been teased is that the game can now scale any class up/down level, so you can have (theoretically) appropriately-scaled versions of any level 1-3 class. Not sure if the game will pull those in or use randomly generated classes or use all new level 4 classes.

Yes, you have to perma-kill one of your party members before they get to level 3 and then keep making progress until you get to a levelup where your remaining heroes are already at level 3. At this point the game will offer you a levelup choice between randomly generated level 4s.

Wait...are the sides weighted? I've played the game a decent amount and never thought about that

No, they're not weighted. Hence why no one else would think that as an option.

Tier 0 item that weights the die, but there's no way to check which face is weighted for and the weighting is subtle enough that it's hard to be totally certain through trial and error

It's mostly just pure luck or the blessing that gives Level 3 to Top, Middle and Bottom heroes.

Very excited for the update. I've managed to get my wife addicted to the game too. She loves it when the characters say something, like 'Calm down!' when another character does a load of damage.

I'm a fan of slicing and dicing and it runs really well even in a bargain basement Kindle Fire. I'll probably buy it a 3rd time on Steam because I think it's good value and a good game.

actually thinking about it, HEAVY PIPS would be an amazing curse.

That is, the more pips you have on a side, the higher the weight is in the physics sim and thus the less likely you are to get it.

i've always assumed the leftmost side is the 6, so this would probably be more of a blessing

No, the heaviest side is the one most likely to lie facedown. You'd be disproportionately likely to roll blank faces and anything with no pip value (so e.g. Valkyrie would actually kinda-sorta benefit by dint of her death prevention sides being easier to get)

e: Roulette would be super unlikely to ever roll the sticky mandatory death nuke...

I'm trying to decide if I should start a fresh save so I can earn all the achievements again in the new version. I currently have all but two, and they are really hard, so I just haven't played in a while.

Fwiw, upgrading to version 2 required a fresh save so it wouldn't be shocking to have to start over.

Perhaps a strange question, but does/will this have gamepad support on PC? Alternatively, can it be played completely on keyboard?
