| HeroTail: Survivors is now released for FREE! | 2026-06-01 | 1.0 is here!I hope you have plenty of fun playing and enjoy it. Why is there a discount only on ‘Warlock’?I’ve made a mistake and set the discounts incorrectly; at the moment, only ‘Warlock’ is discounted, rather than all the additional classes. Unfortunately, the launch discount can’t be changed once the game has been released, so I’ve submitted a support ticket and hope the issue will be resolved soon.Thank you and cheers!Max |
