LambdaRogue 1.5.3 (patch) released

[Mario Donick]

Welcome to LambdaRogue: The Book of Stars patch 1.5.3! On the one
hand, this patch includes lots of new eye-candy, but it also brings
some new gameplay features:

Switch between offensive and defensive tactics! In defense mode, you
suffer only half of the normal damage, but you also inflict only half
of the normal damage. I love this small change, because it makes
battles more exciting, esp. against boss monsters, and in other
critical situations.

Explore new item combination and throwing effects (potions, esp.)!
Beware of earthquakes!

Enjoy the visually improved field of view (FoV) and new character
graphics that fit your chosen profession and your sex -- no more
female enchanters that look like male soldiers ;-)

Face NPCs and gods directly, with the newly introduced character
portraits!

Use your mouse to get tooltips and to select icons from the quickbar


See the changelog for all changes.

Existing save games of the 1.5 branch (1.5, 1.5.1, 1.5.1a, 1.5.2) are
compatible with the new release: You can continue your current game
and enjoy the new content and enhanced look.
