Polish-based indie developers Event Horizon are pushing their biggest patch for their steampunk fantasy RPG, Dark Envoy for the PC. This patch brings about substantial addition to the games quality-of-life features. Most notably, the gameplay experience will be a heavy focus on balancing, covering skills, enemies, and tactical environment while adding new content, such as a DPS testing ground and a challenge arena with handcrafted combat scenarios that will test the player’s party-building skills to the limit.
Event Horizon CEO Krzysztof Monkiewicz said “It might sound like the obvious thing to do, but we genuinely wanted to create a game for the players to enjoy. The community feedback was an integral part of the development process of our first game, Tower of Time. We believe we have a unique game here and won’t give up; we will continue to fight.”
Here’s the update’s changelog:
- Added Challenge Arena (requested by community)
- Added Training Room for testing out custom builds
- Removed “Jankiness” from animations – various and massive fixes to combat and cutscenes

- Updates to classes and specializations – change or upgrade least favorite spells
- Improved enemy AI
- Over 30 major and small Quality of Life features requested by the community –
