In addition, more customizable elements will be available for the player fighters,” the developer said.

Now, the more you play the game, the harder it will get as you will get stronger opponents to fight to. The new ones will be routinely generated from the corpses of the old one. The better you play, the better will be the rewards and better goodies as well. If you care, screens will now be 16:9 ratio.
