[p]We’re excited to share that version 1.2.0 of Keeper’s Toll is now live on Steam. This update brings a little new content, new options, and a handful of improvements based on player feedback.[/p][p][/p][h3]New Unlock: The Dusk Knight[/h3][p][/p][p]For players who enjoy the Bogatyr class, you can now unlock a new skin: The Dusk Knight. This version of the Bogatyr offers a faster, more aggressive playstyle with a modified quick strike and a full reskin of abilities.[/p][p][/p][p]How to unlock: Max all talents on the Bogatyr, and the Dusk Knight will become available as a playable option.[/p][p][/p]

[p][/p][h3]Dual Stick/Mouse Controls for All Characters[/h3][p]We’ve expanded the dual stick/mouse aim control scheme so it’s available to every class, not just the Ranger. While this doesn’t change abilities into free-aim like the Ranger, it does give more control over directional attacks for those who prefer this style. You can now maintain movement and face direction independent of one another. You can enable this control style in the Options Menu by checking the box labeled Dual Stick Controls. By default, it is off.[/p][p][/p][h3]Quality of Life and Bug Fixes[/h3][p]Version 1.2.0 also includes various quality-of-life improvements and bug fixes to help smooth out gameplay.[/p]
