Hey there puzzlers!

We hope you’ve enjoyed solving the Pocket Dungeon's expanding mysteries in the base game, Puzzlers Pack DLC, and Paradox Pack DLC and we’re excited to keep the fun rolling with one last DLC. Today, we're excited to introduce to you the Pals Pack!

This final, update will bring long-awaited online support chockfull of verus mode challenges for you and your best buds to tackle, items, endless mode updates, and quality of life bug fixes! Get ready to battle it out with friends and foes worldwide.

Come release entire DLC Pack is currently FREE, so you’ll only need the base game to delve into the Pocket Dungeon’s new content.

With all that cool content in mind, developing a well-balanced game can be quite difficult - especially if it’s a unique hybrid genre! So, just like for the Puzzler’s Pack and Paradox Pack, we thought it would be fun to invite you back to the Pocket Dungeon to help us make this DLC pack truly shine by releasing an Early Preview version.

Please keep in mind that since the DLC pack is still in development, we'll be continuously adding new content and fixing bugs! Players are encouraged to share their opinions and suggestions on our Discord channel!

-The music for the match will be that of the first stage

New Custom Hat PResets

You can now create and save your own custom presets for your favorite hats! Pick up to 12 different hats per preset, equip them all with the press of a button, and label them with their own preset names (preset names can only be made with alphanumeric and a few special characters)

Updated Endless Mode
-You can now set the starting loop for endless mode from the hub. This will only affect the endless route and not other game modes (to do that, you can go into Settings → Adventure)
-After loop 1, you’ll be able to meet Chester in Plains even after reaching the relic limit. This works until you amass 32 or more relics
-When skipping loops, Chester will provide you an assortment of relics to choose from to give you a head start
-Loop difficulty changes:
Loop 1: Legendary units may show up
Loop 2: Legendary hazards and big units may show up
Loop 3: Legendary units, big units, and hazards show up more frequently. Future loops increase this chance
-Random units start showing up rarely, increasing very slightly in frequency each loop
-Durability slightly decreases each loop starting on loop 5
-One less chest at each stage starting on loop 10
-HP scales more on loops beyond 10
