Dragon Fin Soup seamlessly blends genres to create a fresh experience: half story-driven tactical RPG and half high-stakes roguelike, with a pinch of crass humor and a heaping helping of murder & madness set in a procedurally generated fantasy world.

Meet Red Robin - a charming, yet raging alcoholic bounty hunter, who’d rather get into a bar fight than deliver baked goods. Players must take up Robin’s blades and set out across Asura, a lushly colorful fantasy world that sits on the back of an enormous space turtle, on a journey to discover the secrets of her bloody past.

WARNING!!!
This game is not for the casual player and can be highly addictive.
Dragon Fin Soup contains the following:
- Superfluid turn-based tactical combat
- Raging alcoholic bounty hunter heroine
- New procedurally generated world each time you play
- Mercenaries for hire and awesome pets to collect
- Over 60+ hours of roguelike gameplay in Story, Survival & Labyrinth modes

Dragon Fin Soup is hand crafted by a 5 person indie development team - Grimm Bros LLC.

Odds are, this just might make quite a splash in the KS success story column and beyond---it'll be very interesting to see how this plays out ultimately on the PC, PSN, etc as they are casting about as wide and stylishly exuberant a net as possible.   8)

v1.04

- New “Precision Step” feature for Keyboard and Joypad!
Pressing and holding a button while in-game (button used for cancel in the UI, Shift on keyboard) will trigger 3 functions:

1) Grid overlay appears
2) All trees and props become transparent
3) Displays an arrow in front of the hero, the hero then can be rotated in any direction and when you let the button go the hero will perform a single precise step.

- Mouse wheel now supports scrolling in all lists:
Options Menu
Character Selection List
Recipe list
Quest log lists
Inventory slots
UI buttons

- Adjusted the Item info window to show the “Luck” values for armor and weapons.
Luck is a summarized value of the stats that affect critical hit, stun and counter attack.

- New “Precision Path” feature for mouse users!
When clicking and holding on a tile a cursor will appear and become drag-able across all traversable tiles, making it easy to readjust the destination and walk on tiles behind foes.

- Muted SFX for traps triggered by foes off-screen.

- Fixed crash if rampage mode happened as a random encounter was phasing out.

- Fixed an issue with being able to stack items in the crafting grid.
This was leading to stacks of items disappearing that were placed there.

- Added a new feature that will let people rotate the hero in place on a joypad that has no analog sticks, used by holding the button that opens the Command Pop-Up.

- Added a public-friendly debug log file with new INI setting: bWriteDebugLog true
This will help getting more relevant info for us in case of a crash or other issues.

- Fixed Ammo stats

- Made walls become transparent when chests or runes are placed behind them.

- Added a subtle particle effect on terrain tiles that affect stats.

- Fixed the scientist mission reward (power crystal was not awarded)

- Added storage chests in Labyrinth mode.

- Fixed a bug with step runes minigame

- Fixed receipts not being removed after postal mission. The fix will also remove the receipts from previous missions in existing save files.

- Made hero able to dig on a tile occupied by a pet.

- Made traveling merchants always have shovels in stock

- Made a warp to world-map appear when a random encounter was resolved by force, this will give the player time to collect all the loot before moving on.

- Fixed an issue that can happen in a missing kid mission where the witches do not appear.

- Fixed a bug with score calculation in Survival and Endless Labyrinth modes

- Added new settings in the in-game options menu
• Threading on/off
• Touch controls on/off
• VSync on/off
• Camera zoom on/off
• Map zoom on/off
• Mouse-wheel on/off

- Added new hotkeys for keyboard. F1 - F7 will now directly open the Ui for Inventory, Equipment, Skills, Crafting, Pets, Quests and Save/load. Esc can close the UI.

Esc and "I" can also open the root UI.

In the next patch we will add a feature where you will be able to change they keyboard mapping to your liking.
