Classic horror inspired deckbuilder The Spirit Lift has just received its first major post-launch update.
The free update adds a progression and difficulty system called Lift Levels. Each one adds a new challenge such as having a Trauma card in your start deck or taking damage at the beginning of every battle.
It’s said to contain 13 cumulative Lift Levels that scale in difficulty and these are unlocked by defeating each boss once. These are accompanied by 13 new Steam Achievements linked to each level. You can find the full list of changes included within the update here.
Alongside the update, the game has received its first-ever discount since launching this January, with a 20% reduction as part of the Women’s Day Sale until March 15.
