| Patch 1.1: Weapons Workbench | 2024-04-15 | NEW WEAPONS While CRUX's Unholy Trinity provides solutions to every range of engagement, there's other ways to provide these solutions. So, more weapons that provide these different solutions are here! You'll still be limited to 3 weapons, but you can swap your guns for new guns within the same class. The new weapons will be unlocked by default for everyone. The aim is not to provide better weapons, but rather different, equally strong, options to suit different playstyles and different perk loadouts. The classes are as follows: Ballistic: Shotgun Energy: Plasma Rifle Explosive: Rocket Launcher If you head to the Weapons Workbench in the Bloo |

| CRUX 0.7: Antechamber Overhaul | 2023-07-27 | Following a large influx of players during last June's Steam NextFest, there was a large influx of feedback as well, especially regarding the sense of progression and system feedback. This patch is focused on responding to the most pressing concerns raised by players. Levels Previously, CRUX had arenas with many waves and boss encounters meant to last ~15 minutes to complete. This allowed players to learn all the traversal options of the arena during a single encounter. However, this also failed to give a sense of progression. Going forward arenas will have much fewer encounters, a single boss encounter, and will take much less time to comple |

| March Update | 2023-03-30 | CRUX is an arena shooter wave fighting roguelike. As such, it needs more arenas, more enemies, and more player abilities. While, we're still in closed testing, we're happy to announce that that's exactly what we're bringing. Level 2: Catacombs We've been testing Level 1: Antechamber for a while now, and we're pretty excited to continue our adventure into the Catacombs. Catacombs is a much flatter and more cramped space, forcing the player to use its pillars of bones and skulls for cover to the fullest. While the Catacombs is meant to be the second level of Crux, for testing purposes in this patch it will be the first level. From the next patc |
