Update 1.1 just dropped for summer hit Hell Clock, with the time-twisting action-RPG getting crafting for the first time!
Naturally, this 1.1 patch is more than just a couple of crafting tools, the update also includes the usual blend of balances, tweaks, buffs, and nerfs. In fact, it sounds like Rogue Snail has been working really hard to polish the game based on post-launch feedback.
As part of the rebalance, we’re promised better boss battles. As a major side affect of the big update, we should also get even more potential build variety. There’s an update with patch notes right here.
The developer has also dropped a new trailer that shows off the new content.
Finally, if you’re not already on board, there’s a 20% discount over on the new Steam Sale, which just started.
