For generations, the people of your land have lived in fear of the return of the ancient dragon, Umbris. It was foretold that one day, Umbris would reappear to exact its revenge upon the descendants of those who defeated it once before. 

 That day has come. Umbris has burned villages, slaughtered innocents, and ravaged the fertile lands of your people. The King has called upon his bannermen to send their bravest. Take up arms and scale the tower to defeat Umbris and his minions, or be consumed by the halls of hell that await you.

Oh. Update already? Nice.

 I've found a bug.  Looks like something wrong with traversal to final boss

big oufff, looks like something is mis-managing the boss identifier D: I’ll take a look this afternoon! Thanks again!

And another one... I don't know if it's just my bad luck, but all weapon loot I get after update is dagger, bow and sword. I haven't seen any axes or maces since then. Same goes to +4 armor

Now I'm pretty sure it's NOT bad luck but something gone wrong with the loot.  Swords and daggers are the only melee weapons I can find.

 And it's the least important thing, but in my case Rat King always drops his coins on the walls so I can't pick them up.

It sure RNG dependant, but that what we want from Rogue. 

Got my victory after suddenly finding secret keen weapon and +4 armor early while being extremely lucky with a tonn of heal scrolls and food.

What game does good is that player have to  deliberately avoid enemies unless he has good gear and monsters give almost no profit for their killing.

hey man thanks so much for taking the time to play Katabasis, congrats on the victory! It does lean hard on the RNG, something I’ve been trying to balance. As for enemy drops I’ll have to look into that as I thought that was working. Again thanks for the feedback and your time! 

hey thanks for playing! much appreciated. :) so sorry about the text color I thought I addressed that before posting 🤦‍♂️. to answer your question there currently is no drop items option in the menu but I will addressee all of those concerns in the next update, thank you for letting me know!

First and foremost... how can I drop loot I don't need? Don't wanna have 5 rusty clubs instead of potions.

Second, please, change letter or background color on this page, I can barely see anything

Also start button simultaneously creates Inventory AND standart pause menus so have to press Start again to actually use inventory.

 In the Inventory menu both X and O buttons used for Use/Equip option. I think one of them can be used for drop/destroy in the future update.
