Overgrowth update 1.2 maakt vijanden slimmer en gevechten moeilijker

Overgrowth heeft een nieuwe update. Versie 1.2 is naar buiten gebracht en brengt veranderingen aan combat en de AI met zich mee. Dit maakt alle moeilijkheidsgraden boven Casual een stuk moeilijker.

Dit is uitgevoerd door de aanvalsmagneet, die je dichter bij vijanden plaatst, te verwijderen en vijanden minder agressief te maken. Dat laatste klinkt tegenstrijdig maar werkt omdat de vijanden dan een veel minder voorspelbaar aanvalspatroon krijgen.

Daarnaast is de krachtige jump-kick generfd. Niet door de kracht van de aanval te verlagen, maar door ervoor te zorgen dat vijanden uit de weg rollen of net voordat je op ze landt aanvallen. Dit zou de aanval minder overpowered moeten maken.

De complete patch notes zijn als volgt:

• Added back per-character aggression setting (only applies in hardcore or higher), and made AI a bit more cautious on higher difficulty levels
