Our 3rd hero to receive a rework in the Steadfast Steward’s update was the Runaway!

Her Wanderer path was updated to give her access to Stealth synergy, and Arsonist has been retooled as a high risk mid-ranks damage role with guaranteed self-Burn effects that fuel other skills.

Feel like retreating to your own island away from the chaos and heartbreak of these days?

I have the game for you: Eilands.

It’s along the lines of Tiny Glade and Townscaper, but the focus is on nature.
Still in early development. Stay in touch for more info!
