This bundle is marked as high quality. It exceeds standards and is highly desirable.
Long story short
In their quest, the stranger has met many curiosities. Managed to take care of himself, he stumbled upon a half-destroyed castle, in the center of which stands an unseen artifact which attracts monsters nearby. The captain of the castle sees a great opportunity to save local folks and asks him for help.
Gameplay
Every ~7 minutes the castle is under attack of monsters. Each defeated wave strengthens the monsters in the game. Amount of players influences how strong monsters too. Every third wave resets a shops stock. Every fifth - spawns a boss with the wave. There are 50 waves to defeat on a normal difficulty. If you die you respawn on a cemetery and lose 10% of current gold. Also the map contains random generated altars and chests positions.
Difficulties
The host can pick between 3 different difficulties. Monsters also scale from the amount of players playing the map.
Parameters
There are new parameters in the game, basic ones as physical and magical attack or kinda not standard like disable time reduction. Every hero has 4 main stats: Strength, Vitality, Agility, Intellect. With each new level you gain 3 points to improve any of it. Strength increases physical damage and every 3 points increase critical chance by 1%, Vitality increases amount of health and it's regeneration, Agility increases physical defense by 2 per 1 point and 1% of cast and attack speed for every 3 points. Intellect increases magical attack, magical suppression, max value of resource and it's regeneration.| Stat | Description |

TBD
Spell book
At the start of the game every hero has 3 abilities from 3 different categories. You can obtain books that will give you a new ability or if you already know it, increase its level by 1, 2 or 5 depending on a book quality. You can exchange books to a desired category at a librarian. Also, it is possible to get bonuses to a level of certain skill or whole skill category from the items.
Abilities scale up to a level 75. An ability can gain a new behavior or bonuses as its level goes up, along with numbers improvement. Every hero has from 3 to 4 ability categories. You can read abilities descriptions, levels and customize your keybindings.
Inventory
An inventory for every hero can hold up to 32 items, not counting the equipped ones. Consumables can be attached on "belt", which is a classic inventory, you can use it by the 1-2-3-4-5-6 on your main keyboard place. You can equip one two-handed weapon, or two one-handed ones. Also you have access to a private chest with 40 slots that holds your items safe from other players.
Itemization
Almost every item that you can find will be random generated.
They are different by their quality, sockets amount, and special suffixes that determining their possible additional parameters. Gems give a bonus depending on the item type in which the gem is socketed. Also there are runes and runewords.
You can find unique items that have static parameters and sockets, and some of them can alternate behavior of abilities.
Or you may be lucky to find a set item, it will give a special bonus if you equip a right amount of items from that set.
Also you can gamble items to get a great item from a merchant. Or worst.
Talents
Every hero has 3 talent trees which you can reset by using a Potion Of Oblivion at any time. Each level gives 1 talent point, for every new row in talents to unlock you have to spend 2 points for first row, 4 for the second one and so on.
Rifts
From time to time a rift will appear on the map, spawning creeps and a boss. Defeating the boss closes the rift and the boss drops a special item - Shard of Hate. You can use 5 of them in the Altar to skip 5 waves.
Dungeons
There are dungeons scattered across the map which will test your might.
Upon entering you would have to defeat multiple waves of monster attacks. Once you slay all enemies, the gates shall open and lead you to treasure chests which can be opened with keys. A key rarity will directly impact how much loot you would get from them. One chest gives skill books, the other one drops valuable items.
Altar of Hate
The altar spawns randomly on the map. Using 5 shards of hate on it increases the wave level by 5.
Sacrificial Pit
You may find a gift type of item in your drop. Those items are sacrificed in the pit, speeding the game up, but provide certain bonuses or penalties.
The lore
As game progresses, you'll meet persons that can give you quests. The quests can be simple and straightforward, or a bit more complex with different ways of achievement their completion. With them you can learn about the world and what happens there.
Localization
Translated to the EN and RU versions, can be played with different localizations simultaneously.
Afterword
Random generated items and random skill drops can lead to different experience with each playthrough. Try out different builds, classes, items, and maybe you'll find it pleasant. Aaaaaand we have discord server now. Yay i suppose!

no, one run, challenge is to get as far as possible, im not sure it is possible to beat 50 waves currently but who knows 
basically you can flip flop your hero development to a some extent so it will be fairly fresh

Maybe you should find a way to not activate the cooldown of a health potion when using one for mana and the other way around.
Also, some issues:
Some creatures can be attacked from a distance without them retaliating/coming towards you:
Pretty neat although loading crashes the game.
Approved.

there is an update for 2.0, fixed what I have found, please let me know if something is broken
I'm aware of some stats on items showing 0, but actually it's just a visual bug and should be fixed from a blizzard side. if not, I'll make a bandaid fix
