- Update v1.3:
- 🗠Rebirth, now improved
- Rebirth was a powerful idea, but in practice it felt like you were giving up a lot for too little. Time to fix that.
- If you choose Rebirth, a new event can now spawn on maps: Pandora’s Box.
- Open it and things get serious fast. Tough enemies will spill out and try to end your run on the spot.
- Defeat them and you will receive three rounds of rewards:
- each round lets you pick 1 out of 4 Improvements for your existing Powers
- This is meant to help you really use those extra Power slots you unlocked with Rebirth by leveling up much faster.
- 🎯 Mouse controls and smarter aiming
- This one was one of the most common requests on Steam and Discord.
- You can now play using mouse controls if that is your preferred way to survive the hordes
- Most Powers also gained an option to auto target the nearest enemy, which makes aiming smoother and more accessible, especially for new players
- For controller users we also added a small but important tweak:
- if auto aim is enabled, letting go of the analog stick now turns auto aim off, so you can instantly switch back from the manual precision when you need it
- 🇮🇹 New language: Italian
- Welcome to the battlefield, Italian Survivors!
- Update 1.3 adds full Italian support in menus, UI and gameplay.
- It was one of the most requested languages, so we are very happy to finally say: benvenuti.
- 🛡 Structures, crits and balance
- A few balance changes aimed at keeping late game runs challenging, but fair:
- Structures now gain HP over time and with difficulty
- Your defenses toughen up as the run goes on, so they are not instantly deleted in the late stages.
- Critical Hit Chance now has a cap
- Crit chance can no longer reach 100%. High end builds should still feel powerful, but there should always be some risk.
- 🛠Quality of life improvements
- A lot of small changes that should make every run feel smoother:
- Nezha’s Power now starts in the direction of the nearest enemy instead of straight ahead, which makes his opening moments much more reliable
- Pythia’s Power has been strengthened so it feels more useful early on rather than “good later, if you manage to survive weak nowâ€
- Post run summary flow was cleaned up
- first tap on Space shows the stat screen
- second tap returns you to the main menu
- No more accidentally skipping your summary because you pressed Space too fast.
- Rebirth button is now easier to see and understand, so you do not miss it when you are ready for a fresh start
- Highlighting Hard difficulty now clearly explains that this mode is where you earn Divine Crystals, which was one of the most common questions
- When you reach the maximum level for a class, the game now makes it clear, so you know you squeezed every drop of power out of that Survivor
- 🤠You are in the game
- One change that means a lot to us.
- We have added a new section in the Credits that highlights the community’s contribution to Achilles: Survivor.
- If you have a moment, open the Credits, scroll through, and remember: you are part of this story with us.
