Coffee Stain Studios vient de sortir sur Steam une nouvelle, et énorme, mise à jour pour Sanctum (c'est la 2e mise à jour à plus de 700 Mo). L'ajout le plus visible est bien évidemment la nouvelle carte nommée Glade (accompagnée de sa nouvelle musique), mais les développeurs ont également fait de sérieux efforts pour équilibrer le gameplay en baissant la vie de certains monstres, augmentant la portée de certaines tours etc. Ils ont également ajouté un mode de jeu encore plus facile baptisé casual, l'actuel casual ayant été renommé experienced. Ni rigolez pas, en coop, a partir de la vague 15, le jeu devenait vraiment très difficile.

Si vous ne connaissez toujours pas le jeu, je vous invite à lire notre test où nous avons été plutôt emballés par le jeu et où nous lui reprochions sont manque de cartes. Voilà donc qui nous satisfait pleinement, et je vous encourage à essayer le jeu et donner votre argent à cette petite équipe indépendante pleine de talent.
