This huge update wouldn't have been possible without all the feedback from the community. Thank you so much! This completes the content for the demo - hope you enjoy! This new content is available everywhere you can play HFI today. A Steam demo available to all is still coming soon!

New Evergreen Features

Class Swap

Allows all classes to be running at once, with the ability to hot swap between them. This also means that rebirthing only rebirths the currently active class, and the other classes see the immediate benefit of improved rebirth stats without having to rebirth themselves! This feature is unlocked through new Researcher content.

Multi-point Perks

Most perks have been changed to allow you add multiple points to them. This allows you to both reach further perks in the tree sooner, and allows for a great deal of additional build diversity. Each point you add to a perk also gives a bonus! Permanent perks work they same way they used to and skill perks / skill rank up perks still require the full investment of perk points all at once.

Perk Loadouts

This feature allows you to save up to 3 perk builds for each class. Not only does it save your build for future runs, but the autospend feature allows you to automatically spend your perk points as you level up based on your saved build. Convenient! This feature is unlocked through new Researcher content.

Game Profile

The achievements menu has evolved! The profile page shows everything you can possibly collect and unlock in the game, sorted by categories. All of these new things being tracked fill the ultimate progress bar at the top of the profile page. If you get 100%, you get a shiny gold star - neat!

Inventory

The inventory shows key items and additional lore about items you have found through your travels. If you're looking for extra HFI lore, this is the place for you!

Farmhand :farmhand:

• Content has been updated to level 80 - this includes perks, shop items, story, etc.
• XP buff from Wisdom now rewards a bonus sooner, but scales slower
• HFI now remembers if you had autofarm going when you rebirth and when you reboot the game

Squire :squire:

• Content has been updated to level 80 - this includes perks, shop items, story, dungeons, etc.
• XP buff from Wisdom now rewards a bonus sooner, but scales slower
• Base Squire Min/Max Damage increased to 4-6 damage (was 2-4)
• Defense has been reworked into a new stat called Damage Reduction (Damage Reduction simply reduces the damage the Squire takes by a percentage)
• Brace for Impact simply doubles your Damage Reduction when used, and now costs 15% Stamina at Rank 2 (up from 10%)
• When autoskill is on for Brace for Impact, it no longer disables the button (in case you want to use it on non-special attacks)
• Thorns damage is now based on both how many points you have in Armor of Thorns, and how much Damage Reduction you have (This means Brace for Impact doubles thorns damage!)
• A Thorns Damage stat now appears in the stat tab, showing how much thorns damage you are doing
• When you defeat the final enemy, a message appears letting you know that you have completed the demo. (You are free to continue playing if you want to max things out!)
• HFI now remembers your autoskill and auto advance checkbox selections between rebirths and reloading the game
