NewGame+ Update (28 October 2020)
Cthulhu Saves Christmas has been patched to add a new mode - New Game+!
Complete the game and it will ask you if you want to start over. In New Game+, you'll retain your stats, equipment, and items from the game as well as all progress you've made in R'lyehtionships. NG+ mode has a few new story events & R'lyehtionship events (with equipment rewards) that aren't in the regular game. There is also an optional difficulty that you can pick in NG+ mode that scales enemy stats up beyond what they could be in the regular game.
Also, thanks to Limited Run Games, Cthulhu Saves Christmas is getting released on other platforms! The Switch version is out today and a PS5 version will be released soon. They will do an open pre-order period for Switch & PS5 physical editions of the game starting on November 6. Physical copies of the Switch version should start shipping in early December.
Update v2.02 (19 March 2020)
- Generally lower enemy HP (minimal to no change early on, around 30% less Max HP by the end of the game)
- A few enemies now have lower base power but larger power increases per turn. This should make battles with many all-target enemies more manageable as long as you don't take too long.
- XP rewards from defeating non-boss enemies has been noticeably increased.
- 50% more XP given when fighting additional battles after a dungeon is cleared to make it easier for people who want to grind.
- Fewer battles required to clear out a dungeon (No change in dungeons that required 10 battles, all other dungeons have their battle count dropped by 5).
- Random encounters trigger a little less frequently.
- New buff that causes a character to use ailment power instead of power for damaging abilities. This buff has been added to the Chicken Feed & the Necronomicon abilities (they retain their existing effects as well). This should open up new combo possibilities and also gives Baba more damage dealing options besides her poison & unite abilities.
