ADDRESSING THE 1.0 FEEDBACK2026-05-01Hello everyone! We’ve been listening to all your feedback on the 1.0 Update - here’s a breakdown of the most common issues/complaints we’re looking into:PROGRESSION GRINDThe original intent for 1.0 was to rebalance the gold costs to make both short and long term progression more worthwhile. However, we see we missed the mark and are aware of the grind. We are currently looking into rebalancing the economy, and have made preliminary changes in the most recent patch that we feel put it closer to an ideal state. We are still actively looking for feedback and will make further changes if needed.CRASHESWe’re looking into multiple performance and t

1.0 will have expanded PLAYER PROGRESSION 📜2026-04-21When Early Access for The Spell Brigade started back in 2024, the game had a measly 8 Wizards, a handful of enemies… simply too little content to create proper progression. And while we received a lot of great feedback, and had some plans ourselves too, we figured we’d save this for 1.0, as by then we would have the most accurate vision of all the stuff the game holds.🤔 But what about my save file?!First off, all changes we have made to the progression will not affect your save file. While we do recommend starting fresh for the optimal experience, we have made sure that any existing save files will not lose progress.Secondly, our 1.0 will co
1.0 will introduce the 15th WIZARD🔔2026-04-16Of course, a Spell Brigade update wouldn’t feel complete without one more wizard. And we have exactly one more, ready to join our gang of ragtag sorcerers. We will not be revealing all the details about this 15th wizard, but here’s a sneak peek.Her spell involves ringing bells. It’s a spell that requires a bit more skill, but has crazy potential for destruction when used correctly. Be sure to try her out, when the update releases on April 29th.🧙 Wizard ProgressionNow that there’s a lot more content within the game, we have also done some extensive redesigns for the player progression. This also includes the unlocking of Wizards and Spells. Y
🎬 Behind the Scenes on the Animated Release Date Trailer2026-04-02Brigadiers, you’ve seen the animated release date trailer, but how does a hand-drawn cast of wizards and monsters actually come to life? We pulled back the curtain and asked the team at Alkimia Animation Studio to take us through it! 🎨 Finding the VibeWe wanted the chaos to hit instantly - 4 wizards on a mission, spells flying everywhere, teammates accidentally blasting each other into oblivion. Epic, but clumsy. Classic cartoon energy, but unmistakable The Spell Brigade. To nail that, the team at Alkimia drove straight into the game. They played Early Access, studied how characters moved, how attacks landed, and how the game’s energy felt:“

1.0 will have IMPROVED ELEMENTS 🔥2026-03-27Elements are a big part of our spell systems. We put a lot of effort into refining these designs to make sure each combo can bring something new to the table, making for more diverse playstyles and builds, while also feeding into our systemic design. While we originally considered a sixth element, we eventually decided that it would create more value to players to improve the designs for the elements already in the game, so that each combo is more than just the sum of its parts. Behold... the Brigadier Infusion Helpbook, a full breakdown of all elements for 1.0:Some more small improvements include:Visual improvements for the Fire & Acid effec

1.0 will have PRESTIGES & CURSES 🎖️2026-03-04This one’s for the hardcore fans! Throughout Early Access we’ve gathered lots of feedback, and we noticed that a lot of our players would like more progression to reward their dedication, as well as more modifiers that change up the game. We have implemented some stuff that will allow for this, and more!🌟 AscensionEver since we introduced Wizard Ranks, people have been wondering if it actually does something. And so far it hasn’t really, but that changes now! Well, at 1.0. When you max the rank of your wizard, you will be able to ✨ASCEND✨. You can then spend some Gold, to upgrade your badge, and reset your rank. Why? For bragging rights of c

If you don’t want to get spoiled, that’s totally fine of course, but then you best close this post right now. Seriously - if you’re not keen on spoilers, get out!👹 A new type of creature…We’ve added some weird little guys to the game that might throw a wrench in your plans. They’re not really part of the monster army, I guess you could say they play a neutral role. However, they show a particular interest in magic and magic-related stuf
