“Return of Death” finally received the version 2.0 update, bringing some exciting new features to fans of Housemarque’s PlayStation 5 exclusive roguelike game.
The most important thing is the ability to pause the loop, which means that the player can temporarily stop the loop and continue later. You can quit the game and turn off the host without losing your progress at this stage. According to the PlayStation Blog post, the structure of the game remains unchanged. This feature is not a traditional mid-term “save game” option: by pausing the loop, “Death Return” will create a single-use pause point, and the player will resume playing Deleted and cannot be used again. The game will continue directly from the moment you leave. If you want to pause the loop again, the progress will be recorded from the new pause point. This feature has some limitations-for example, players cannot create pauses in boss battles, cutscenes, continuous first-person operations, or intense battle scenes-because the developer believes that there are certain moments in “Death Return” It’s best to do it all in one go to retain the challenge and fluency of the setting.
The developer went on to say: “With this approach, we can maintain the spirit of Roguelike and the promised “high risk” of the game to players, but also provide some convenience in the quality of life, satisfying the desire to experience the “Return of Death” in a quick way. 》Players who enjoy the game. Next time you are caught in a protracted battle in Atropos and you happen to find something to come to your door, you can “pause the loop” first, and then come back when it is convenient to continue playing.”
In addition, the camera mode is also included in this update. At any time during the game (except for limited conditions such as first-person continuous operation), the player can pause the game and enter the “photograph mode” to control the camera. Then you can use the analog joystick and adaptive trigger to move the lens to find the perfect camera angle. After perfecting the composition, you can then explore various setting options, such as focal length, aperture, saturation, or contrast. You can also set different light sources to highlight the scene, and choose different filters, special effects, frames, colors, etc., to create a unique personal style for your shooting.
When you are satisfied with the result, just press the “Create” button on the DualSense wireless controller to take a photo.
