Ongoing Development and Support
Since the game's initial launch on July 31, the developer has been implementing a series of patches based on community feedback. Recent changes include replacing gold rewards from common enemies with Relic power to assist in skill progression and adding new map icons to improve navigation for the game's 80 boss encounters, referred to as "Brutals."
Project Cloud Games reports that these updates, which have addressed stability, NPC behavior, combat balancing, and localization, have resulted in improved player ratings and reviews. The studio maintains that it will continue to refine the game alongside the upcoming console launches.
Specific instructions on how to acquire and redeem the Sealing Stone reward are expected to be shared by the developer at a later date.
