Ranged Abominations and the new Mystic Bandit enemy class add a new lethal mix to the game’s combat.
Independent developer Room C Games in co-production with Croteam and in partnership with indie publisher Versus Evil today announced the latest major update for their rogue-lite RPG game The Hand of Merlin, currently in early access for PC via Steam, Epic Game Store, and GOG.
The latest update, titled ‘A New Evil’ introduces Range Abominations, a strong ranged challenge to provide more variety for a player’s party to tackle since the majority in the game have been melee-based thus far. The Basilisk is a ranged abomination capable of lobbing a lethal toxin that deals more and more damage if left unchecked.
Also arriving in the latest update is a new enemy class, Mystic Bandit, and two arrive in this latest update, Enchanter which brings blinding tar and corrosive Mercury into the fray, and Witch, a support style enemy which can block off paths with a fiery napalm-like ability and restore its allies armor. The Mystic class in The Hand of Merlin is composed of a roster of alchemists, druids, shamans, and priests, all of which bring their own brand of mystery and abilities to the fight.
