[h2]Introducing Mutation Mode[/h2] The Mutation Update adds a set of wacky mutations to the game, playable in Mutation mode. When you start a new game, you'll now be given the option to completing a standard run (the same gameplay you're used to) or Mutation mode, where you'll pick a Mutation before starting out. There are a bunch of different mutations, each one changing the game (sometimes in significant ways!)

In the Dungeon Crawler mutation, you start with weapons, armor and an ability, but have no deck at all. Instead, enemies drop tiles for you to acquire once you've defeated them.

You also start with a second hero's perk and discover cards from their class as well.

We hope players enjoy trying out the game with these new mutations and we plan to add additional mutations as time goes on. Got ideas for Mutations you'd like to see? Let us know on the Steam forums! [h2]Daily Challenges[/h2] Daily Challenges are another new way for players to experience the game. Each Daily Challenges features a set mutation for that day, with a random hero. All players will get the same random 'seed', ensuring that all the random decisions (the journey of the hero, the perks offered, the shop items offered, etc... ) are the same for all players. After completing your run, you'll get a score and it'll be shown on the daily leaderboard. You can check back once the challenge is over to see your final rank.

We'll be keeping an eye on player feedback on Steam, Reddit and Discord over the next couple weeks and tuning the new mutations as necessary. Let us know what you think!
