I haven't made separate posts on versions 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 because they've basically been bug fixes for the most part. Version 2.4 is no different in that sense. There were some nasty bugs in v2.3 if you used an older save file that caused the screen to go black in certain instances. It should be fine now. V2.4 also addresses some balance issues and tweaks the overall difficulty a bit towards more fair.

The biggest actual addition is more streamlined Soul Stone/Hexen system. I felt it was too much of a hurdle to first kill an enemy > saw off its head > sacrifce it at a ritual circle for a soul stone > go back to killed enemy > use soul stone > use it in hexen.

Now instead you get Soul stone shards from each sacrifice and putting together 3 shards equals a stone that can immediately be used in hexen. No more running back and forth between the ritual circle and a downed enemy. This also hopefully helps with the overabundance of soul stones in the previous versions.

Another worthwhile mention is that Needles has been nerfed a little. His stunlock combo was really annoying previously but it's different now.


If you still haven't tried out the demo, it's a great point to jump in!
