The Gauntlet of Power demo v4 is here, and it's a huge leap into the right direction! Last couple of demo builds were mostly me still poking at the prototype and trying to see which direction it wanted to go.

But we now pivoted slightly away from the Vampire Survivor mold and a bit more into the direction of Roguelikes such as Binding of Isaac and of course the original Heroes of Loot games. And the demo is now available from Steam! So don't forget to Wishlist and Follow it, while you take the demo for a spin: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2374320/Heroes_Of__Loot_Gauntlet_Of_Power The game now comes with the first two boss battles, a shop-room got added, tiny treasure chests and a secret room with more goodies! The amount of items is still somewhat limited, but a lot more are coming. I'm first building out the whole system to handle the various items and how they are spread across the various ways you can find them. Is it a shop-item? exclusive to a treasure room? A Gauntlet upgrade? or only found in Secret rooms?
