CombatWe made many updates to Combat in Underworld Ascendant as further outlined below. We also made a few improvements to AI and have plans for more enhancements to AI in the next update.
BUILD NOTES- Russian text previously displayed missing text as blocks. This has been fixed.- Subtitles were added in the intro sequence for certain languages (French, Chinese, etc).- Partial French VO has been removed.- Faction Influences have been adjusted so more is gained from Side Bounties and the total required to unite the factions is lower.- Item names and descriptions have been updated in Japanese.- Additional monitor aspect ratio support added, like 21:9 (note that the UI may stretch in certain areas).- Player spellbook entries are preserved between levels.- Fixed issue where a pile of items incorrectly spawned at the start of some levels.- Player sound effects removed between loading screens.- In-Game Language choice preserved between play sessions. (Note that the Graffiti on walls will remain in the original language until you enter a new level).- MAGIC FIST spell now visibly causes an impact reaction on enemies.- Added more logging to help gather data on crash bugs
DRM-Free Version of Game for BackersFor the DRM-free version of the game, we are still searching for a vendor. We apologize for this inconvenience. If you would like to use your Steam key in the meantime, it is is DRM-free and can be played completely offline and without launching Steam. We will update everyone when we have our DRM-Free distribution channel finalized.
They've been working on Update 4, the contents of which aren't entirely clear. From what I've been able to gather from various updates they've been working to add in new characters, additional areas, new quests, possible UI improvements and a better start for new players (lots said it was confusing).
I'm interested to give it a go, although it's worth noting overall it hasn't really reviewed very well. In fact, some reviewers sounded pretty harsh about it but it's had numerous updates since a lot of reviews were published. Perhaps Update 4 will help turn it around? Will have to wait and see.
It's unfortunately incredibly clear that this is the result of failing to solve a significant problem, rather than a design choice, no matter how unconvincingly Otherside might be trying to sell it in a recent update in response to the enormous disappointment. Lines like the below read more like a bug description than a justification.
We'll keep an eye on it, see if there's some colossal update, perhaps to add in some sort of narrative, maybe to pop in a point to the whole clumsy affair. Perhaps it will one day reach version 1.0! In the meantime, steer so clear of this. Do not be lulled in by your nostalgia for Looking Glass's wonderful RPGs. Like I was. Bah.
On February 14, 2019 Otherside Entertainment released a substantial update aimed at addressing many criticisms of the game at launch. This update brought with it the inclusion of a functional free save system, changes to the level design and game flow, refinements to gameplay mechanics and enemy behaviors, optimized lighting, and numerous bug fixes.[22]
