Greetings,
the latest patch for Darfall is ready and released.
This update brings several highly requested features: the Patrol command, the ability for players to manually order towers to target enemies, and a fix for items not being clickable in Fog of War.
Scoring has also been updated: each demon portal destroyed now gives +1500 score, up to 4500 total. You can now take out just one portal before the final wave for a solid bonus, instead of needing all three.
To highlight your performance in survival scores, we’ve added a new post-game scoreboard with a full breakdown of your best runs:

Greetings,
the latest patch for Darfall is ready and released.
We’ve added a small but handy feature: you can now choose between Classic RTS and Hero-Centric control schemes. If you're coming from games like Warcraft 3 or Age of Empires, this lets you jump in with familiar keybindings right away. It’s a simple auto-rebind option, but it saves time and makes the first experience smoother.
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42663831/19f8b9b64171d2ae6e84e0e921e0ba57ce788b80.png
Some little environment improvements, already highlighted in previous dev blog
