- Several bug/crash fixes.

- New feature: New Game Plus. Starting a new game using this option allows you to play the game in different ways. Examples include an option to start the game with all breeding combinations unlocked, an option to extract cores from any creature, or a random creature mode which randomizes the order in which new creatures are unlocked in the wild. This mode is only available after defeating Misery in a normal save file, or by using the secret code at the title menu (hold down the "right" button for 5 seconds).
- New feature: Daily Realms. You can complete one of these per day, and they reward Spell Gem crafting materials and Fleshwarper Coins. You can unlock Daily Realms via a castle upgrade.
- Added 40 new skins to the game. These are all known as "Retro" skins and consist of sprites from Siralim 1's original artwork when the game was still in beta testing.
- Added a new accolade to track the number of Daily Realms you've completed.
- Added a new app icon.
- More optimizations to make the game run more smoothly on low-end devices.

- Fixed a display issue with the overworld sprite for the "Shogun" creature.

- High Performance Mode is now even better than ever! This is the biggest improvement in optimization the game has ever seen.

- Fixed a bug with the "Drain Life" spell that prevented it from dealing any damage or healing.
- Fixed a bug that could cause Sigils to have enemies with negative Gene Strengths and levels if your creatures are at insanely high Gene Strengths and levels.
- Other very small, insignificant bug fixes.

- The "Stubbornness" punishment now removes all dialog in realms.

- Fixed a bug that allowed players to take an empty stable group out of the stables, resulting in the player having no creatures in their party.

- Fixed a bug that caused the incorrect Nether Realm depth to be displayed for boss kill tasks when using "Condensed Task Display" mode.
- Fixed a bug that caused the "Glacier" spell to freeze the incorrect creatures.
- Fixed yet another bug that caused buffs/debuffs to persist through death. Embarrassing!

- New Upgrade: Improved Altar of Blood - Agnosticism. Spell Gems' automatic casting properties, such as 'Cast When Hit', are ignored.

- The last item filter you selected for each category will now be saved, and will be the default selection even when you save/reload the game.
- Significantly increased the amount of energy required to complete mission rituals (most were doubled).
- When re-fighting Shackler in a Nether Realm or for a task, the Evernight Shade has been replaced with a Drifting Shade to make this fight much less tedious.
- Charms now always spawn 5 packs of enemies, and each pack always contains 6 of the charm's respective creature. This change ensures that you can spawn a Nemesis Boss with only one charm.
- Increased the cost to create a charm from 1000 Brimstone to 10000 Brimstone. Not like you were using your brimstone for anything else.
- Increased rewards received from completing tasks.
- Changed the "Delirium" trait: After this creature takes damage, it gains Intelligence equal to 30% of the damage it took. Previously, this trait was just a significantly better version of the "Expansion" trait.

- Fixed a bug on mobile devices that could cause the player to be thanked an excessive number of times for purchasing skins.
- Fixed a bug that caused sigils to grant more resources than intended if they were used in realms.

- Doubled the chance to find Fleshwarper Coins... again. The drop rate was still too low.
- All god crafting items (Regalis' Seduction, Surathli's Claymore, etc) now cost 15 Exalted Emblems. This means that some items had their costs increased while others had their costs decreased.
- Nether Realms now have enemies with lower levels and Gene Strengths than before. This change is mostly noticeable at early realm levels in order to make Nether Realms more readily accessible to players after completing the game's main story quests.
- Primal Sigil tasks no longer require a specific creature race.
- Primal Sigil tasks now require a lower level based on your character level. The maximum level required will increase as your character's level increases in order to prevent this task from being too difficult in the beginning.

- Fixed bugs that prevented 6 Wardrobe costumes from being offered by the tailor.
- Fixed a crash that could occur when fighting a story boss for a task while the "Nostalgia" punishment was enabled.

- High Performance Mode now offers better performance compared to before.
- High Performance Mode now displays quests and tasks differently to further improve performance, especially on mobile devices.
- Adjusted the difficulty of the Judgment and Mercy boss fight in the story battle to make it a little easier.
- Enemies in the arena will now become progressively more difficult after each victory.

- Fixed a bug that prevented the "Earthquake" spell from removing any buffs from the targets.
- Fixed a bug with the "Wormhole" spell that could sometimes cause affected creatures to be removed from the Action Queue.
- Fixed a crash related to the "Fury Swipes" spell (which also fixes a lot of other crashes).
- Fixed a few minor inconsistencies and outdated information with text in the library.

- Added a skin for Imps (this was always in the game but a bug prevented it from appearing).
- The "Lister's Fortune" and "Friden's Scimitar" items can now be purchased from their respective gods at the Exalted ranking, down from the Deified ranking. This should allow players to access Artifact Realms a little earlier on in the game.
- Optimized the game a little for weak devices.

- Fixed a recent issue that could cause certain interfaces and objects to be drawn on top of others incorrectly.
- Fixed a bug with the "Final Act of Mercy" trait that caused it to activate every turn.
- Hopefully fixed an issue that could cause touch controls to disappear and stop functioning when looting certain items.
- More crash fixes.

- Added a new option to the Turbo Mode options menu: Ultra Turbo Mode. This option allows players to hold down the confirmation button to quickly scroll through battle menus. (This is the same functionality that was added in a recent patch, but simply gives players the option to use the old Turbo Mode without this feature.)
- All players with the Fortune Teller unlocked will receive 1 Golden Ticket upon loading their save files after this patch. This item can be used to re-roll your current tasks.

Introducing Trials of the Gods, our FREE content expansion patch for Siralim 2!

VERSION 2.0.0:
- New upgrade: Gate of the Gods. Craft keys and take them to the Gate of the Gods to challenge any of the 15 gods to battle. Defeat them, and you may earn the right to transform your Nether Creatures into powerful Avatars of the Gods, each with a unique trait and ultimate spell.
- New upgrade: Arcane Refinery. Now you can add new properties to your Spell Gems, or remove the ones you don't want! Adding a new property to a gem requires a new type of crafting material.
- New upgrade: Fortune Teller. Elize, a restless soul who inhabits a mystical orb, will provide you with long-term tasks to complete in exchange for spell gem crafting components. Elize will completely change the way you play the game!
- 60 new creatures have been added to the game. These creatures belong to all-new races, including Vulpes, Basilisks, Abominations, Plague Doctors, Salamanders, and more! These creatures can only be found in Nether Realms, and you can extract a core from any of them. One new creature is a secret. You probably won't ever find it.
- Added 60 new materials, 60 new cards, and 10 new Sigil races to correspond with the 60 new creatures.
- 100 new spells have been added to the game (for a total of 300+ spells!), along with 13 new spell properties (for a total of 23 spell properties!).
- Players can now find Fleshwarper Coins which can be spent on creature skins using the new Transmogrification Pedestal in Siralim. These skins can be applied to your creatures to permanently change their appearance to something entirely unique. Optionally, you can purchase all of these skins at once for $9.99 USD, but this is certainly not required. You can also purchase a different upgrade for $4.99 USD that simply increases the drop rate of Fleshwarper Coins, just in case you enjoy the loot hunt!
- Added 89 new achievements.
- Added 15 new, secret wardrobe costumes.
- Added 18 new accolades to the Accolades interface.
- The library has been updated to include information about all of these new systems, and other parts of the library have been modified to be more accurate with the rest of these patch notes.
- Creatures can now only equip one of each spell at a time. For example, a creature cannot equip two Holy Smite gems.
- Each creature can now only attack or cast up to a maximum of 10 times per turn.
- Artifact Realms now consist of 20 realms, down from 100. Each realm now grants +5% quality, up from 1%.
- Artifact Realms no longer grant Realm Quests. Artifact Realms were always meant to be completed much more quickly than standard realms, and these quests inhibited that goal.
- Pills of Upgrading now grant +5% benefit, up from +1%.
- Pills of Upgrading can now take a Nether Creature's aura up to a maximum potency of 100%, down from 300%. This change is not retroactive.
- Keys of the Arcane can no longer be crafted and are now unobtainable, as they're mostly obsolete with the introduction of the avatars of gods.
- When a spell is cast by a creature automatically (such as from the 'cast on hit' property), it is now less potent (deals less damage/healing/stat manipulation) than if the spell was cast manually.
- Creatures can no longer cast spells automatically (such as from the 'cast on hit' property) while they're silenced.
- The 'Anomaly' trait has been reworked: When an enemy takes damage, all other enemies' Health is reduced by the same amount. In addition, enemies take 90% less damage.
- The 'Smack Around' trait can no longer activate on attacks made by the creature with this trait - only its allies.
- Creatures that are already defending or provoking can no longer perform this same action again multiple times in the same turn. Most players won't ever notice this change, but it should prevent several infinite loops from occurring in battle.
- Portal Keys now also cost 1x Friden's Scimitar.
- Fixed all known bugs and crashes.
- And much, much, MUCH more!

- Added 6 new punishments: Carelessness (Artifacts), Carelessness (Cards), Carelessness (Eggs), Carelessness (Sigils), Carelessness (Runes), and Carelessness (Spell Gems). These punishments prevent their respective items from dropping. This is useful for players who already have too much of a certain item and don't want these items to clutter their inventory.
- Added a new in-game option: High Performance Mode. Enabling this option should cause the game to run more smoothly on weaker devices (up to a 500% boost to FPS!), and is enabled by default for mobile devices.
- The achievements interface now displays the number of achievements belonging to each category, along with the number of achievements you've completed in those categories.
- Added a "View All" option to the achievements interface. As its name suggests, this option allows you to view all achievements from all categories at the same time.
- Default touch control location should be more consistent on all devices now, especially on devices where the controls were off the screen entirely.
- Touch controls now use different, darker sprites in certain realms where the white controls were hard to see, such as in Azure Dream and Frostbite Caverns.
- Low level creatures (< 15) now have a significantly lower maximum chance to dodge attacks. This should make the start of the game much less frustrating.
- Added a safety check to ensure that god favor can no longer get stuck without receiving a god's quest.
- Treasure chests spawned by the 'Strife' punishment now disappear after they're opened.
- Misery now wields an artifact in Nether Realms.
- When a battle starts, any items in the loot window will now be added to your inventory. Mostly, this ensures that players can't lose Cards if they happen to fight two battles in instant succession.
- Pandemonium Tokens can no longer be used in special Nether Realm rooms.
- The 'Diamond Attunement' trait no longer works while the creature with this trait is dead.
- Clarified the 'Soul Sacrifice' spell description with additional text: "The damage and healing done by this spell is affected by traits and other effects."
- Several bug and crash fixes.
