The developers have added another round of hotfixes as it seems that the negative reviews for No Rest for the Wicked have pushed the team to deploy fixes as quickly as possible to ensure that the audience is in safe hands.

No Rest for the Wicked is beginning to turn into a fan-favorite, and although the game is still in Early Access, the amount of passion and dedication from the devs proves just how much they wish for the game to succeed and most importantly, for players to enjoy playing it.

With that being said, we will take a look at all of the changes that were added to the game, as it seems more will be on the way soon. Moon Studios is determined to polish up the game and fix any issues that are frustrating the small but loyal fanbase. Hopefully, more will dive deep into the beautiful world of Isola Sacra.
