Paponzi.1637:

2 of the new screenshots are called “random instance”. What could it mean?

“Enter rooms within the Tower of Nightmares to brave special encounters—but beware! Things are not all as they seem. You can never know what awaits you within these dark rooms. Will you find yourself face-to-face with Scarlet’s agents, or a much more insidious enemy? It’ll take strength, determination, and a cool head to survive the trials that await you.”

From the release page. So the Tower is a Fractals style dungeon.

I was thinking some kind of Queen’s Gauntlet variation. Maybe a group version of random boss encounters or mob encounters.

I’d be willing to bet the dungeon is a “climb the tower” challenge where you have to get through X amount of floors, and each floor is randomly selected from a greater number of possibilities.

So yeah, like Fractals except inside a tower. This actually sounds like a pretty cool idea! Especially if the randomly selected rooms are strung together into one continuous piece, so you don’t have to load them each time like Fractals. My only complaint is that Scarlet is involved.

I bet we’ll just be fighting hallucination versions of previous bosses.
