ANVIL is an isometric shooter where you take on the role of a Vault Breaker. You are assigned to search for alien artifacts inside places called Vaults. But be warned - these areas are riddled with enemies.
The game just got an update that implements difficulty diversification for the Czerny and Campanella galaxies.
Difficulty Diversification
First of all, the devs have added the Czerny practice mode so that newcomers can enjoy ANVIL in a more forgiving and friendlier environment. Here, the difficulty is greatly reduced to help you understand the game fundamentals without too much of a hassle. You are also given some gold to start with, so you can create your preferred builds easily. Keep in mind that the Czerny practice mode is available in single-player mode only.
Aside from that, the Campanella galaxy has its difficulty level set to Extreme - the game’s highest - by default. The normal and hard difficulties have been added as well. You should know that the fourth relic spot will be opened once you’ve completed this galaxy on normal. The devs are hoping that you'll take advantage of this, so you can clear the higher difficulties more easily.
You can learn more about this on the game’s official Steam page.
