Patch 2.1.2 (25 June 2025)

Hello everyone! Here's a new patch for Sandwalkers, with some balancing and some fixes! Please find the full patchnote below. Cheers, and thanks for playing Sandwalkers!

Balancing

Please note that we’re iterating cautiously on this one: many variables impact Sandwalkers' balancing and a small change can sometimes have tremendous impacts

We increased monsters’ HPs & Shield. We don’t want to increase the stats anymore on the first levels, but we might continue to increase them on higher levels.

Desertic & arid regions now provides between 10% & 20% less Supplies tiles

The weight of all equipments & fetishes is reduced to 1 instead of 3

Several minor tweaks

Bugfix

A blocker was occurring when encountering fire elementals

Equipments, Fetishes & fight consumables items have levels, but they were not behaving correctly.

Fix a blocker on Nebulous questline

Bloodworms weren’t positioned correctly in fights

Some attacks from the Sobek and the Terrasaur weren’t giving their side effects to the right target.

Other minor fixes

Fixed an issue with Renegades and Deserters monsters that could lead into a blocking situation
Patch 2.1.0 (28 May 2025)

Hello everyone! For the last few weeks, we've been working on content, as well as overall imporvements : with the weather, with balancing, bugfixing, polishing, we've been busy! We do hope you'll love all that's been added in this 2.1.0 version! And if you do, do not hesitate to leave a positive review! I know I ask every once in a while, but it is very important for us Have a wonderful day!

Please find the full patch note below :

Content

All enemy groups have been reworked to improve variety and ensure a fair distribution of all existing mobs:

Each region now has a set of specific monster “factions” it can trigger

Each monster “faction” has more varied groups

We added a new version of some monsters, who will start fights with an active effect on them to add even more variety

All loot gained from monsters has been reworked:

More variety of items

Less loot most of the time

Enemies will drop items according to their level: you won’t get a +2 Agility item from a level 8 monster anymore!

New enemies

Ocelots

Monsters will continue to scale after level 10

Leveling up will correctly scale after level 10

Monsters' HP & Shield progression is now related to their base HP/shield stats. Shield-based tanks & HP-based squishy damage dealers were looking the same in end-game because of our progression setup; it should be better now

Patch 2.0.5 (11 April 2025)

Hi everyone!

The past two days have been intense as we tackled major balancing issues. Some players were able to finish the game in a single run, defeating all enemies in just one turn — not exactly what we had in mind for Sandwalkers! This patch focuses on restoring challenge and progression. Here’s what’s new:

Enemy Scaling & Encounters

Enemy scaling fixed

Enemy groups were no longer scaling with your caravan, leading to easy fights against low-level (Lv.1) enemies. This is now fixed.

Unit encounter rework We’ve restructured enemy groups to make encounters more varied and challenging:

2-enemy fights were too frequent and not engaging — most have been removed.

Stronger enemy groups have been added across all regions.

Each region now features more diverse enemy compositions.

More tweaks will follow — this is just the first step in our balancing effort.

Caravaneer Upgrades Nerfed / Roguelite Bonuses Buffed

Sandwalkers isn’t about a single overpowered caravaneer dashing to Umama. It’s about generations building on each other’s journey.

Caravaneer upgrades nerfed by ~30%.

Cristal Library combat upgrades have been buffed to reinforce roguelite progression.

General Balance Tweaks

Protector Gains +2 Strength/level (up from +1). "Raise Shield" ability nerfed.

Status Effects Decaying Shield buffed. Infested nerfed. Blinded nerfed.

Bosses & Elites HP increased, but Strength reduced at levels 3–5.

All enemies Strength reduced at levels 3–5, but increased from level 7 onward.

Merchants Merchants in Cities now gives more items

Bug Fixes

Fixed several attacks that dealt pure damage with no type.

"Ban Hammer" Fetish now correctly targets the launcher.

Known Issues (Still Investigating)

Rare black screen blocking progress.

Some units show the wrong sprite when stunned.

Bosses can be stunned, even when they should be immune.

Trade with merchants can be broken, allowing players to get insane amount of items

Thank you all for your patience and invaluable feedback — it really helped us identify and fix this core issue. There’s more to come, but this patch should make Sandwalkers feel closer to our original vision.

— The Sandwalkers Team
Patch 2.0.4 (10 April 2025) Patch 2.0.4 (10 April 2025)

Patch 2.0.4 - Full changes

Fixed a bug with the Dragonopterous not reappearing if you lost against him once, preventing you to complete the quest

ATTENTION, this is right now only fixed for new players doing the quest after this patch. To apply the fix on currently locked save, we need more time as it require editing the saves. We should be ready to deploy this on monday. If this happened to you, please wait monday (or alternatively you can delete your save files and start over). We're very sorry about this, but rather deploy the fix now for future players even if it is partial

Fixed an error in Ban Hammer's fetish description

Azor boss cannot be stun anymore

Now give 90% of his shield to the protected person (previous value : 180%)

Patch 1.0.1.2 (21 June 2024)

Hey everyone!

We're pushing a small update that just fixed a special kind of tile in the desert giving you only 1 supply where it should give you 12 of them. That is a low risk update and was quickly tested on our side, but can have a huge positive impact on your survivability :D

There is another patch coming early next week, with some bigger changes and fixes, that were not a good idea to push live at 6PM on a Friday! For exemple, allowing you to abandon a run and start a new one without having to go and get vainquished in a fight on purpose, or slowly starving your caravan to death

This change, and many fixes are coming early next week! We'll tell you more when it's there

Thanks for playing Sandwalkers and providing us feedback. We try our best to be active on the forum and Discord so we can answer your questions and gather your feedback and suggestions - they really help!

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
Patch 1.0.1 (20 June 2024)

Hello everyone!

First of all, thanks for playing Sandwalkers! We already had some great feedback and we cannot thank you enough for taking the time to post them Here's a first patchnote about what's been fixed and what we're still working on!
Patch 1.0.1

Hotfix

Temporarily changed “Insidious Seed” attack from the Botanist as it can cause crashes.

User experience

The “new run” button on the title screen will no longer offer to erase your save. This has been changed to either start a new run, or continue a run you've started but not finished yet.

You can still reset your save through a dedicated button in Options>General in the title screen

Reworded some skill tooltips that weren’t clear enough

Fixed misleading descriptions on Shield upgrades in the Cristal library, since it’s not giving +20 flat Shield but +20% max Shield

Balancing

Red ant speed has been nerfed from 6 to 4 Having two angry ants playing before you could do anything was a bit frustrating.

Starting max supplies are increased from 15 to 20 While we want the desert to be challenging in early game, we feel like adding 5 Supplies will slightly help most players in their first runs.

Increased Supplies gain on Desert cactus & animals Again: we want you to be challenged, not to suffer from neverending starvation

Localization

Korean language is now named correctly in the language settings

Bugfix

Fixed the dynamic counter in the description of the “Repairs” quest

Double clicking the “Leave Place” action for the first time was hiding the UI sometimes

Effect stacks not decreasing correctly in fight (visual bug only)

Mac

Fixed issues related to specific resolutions, preventing you from closing some screens (like the Map)

Linux

Cinematics will now play normally

Coming soon

This is some stuff we know about, but that couldn't make it into this patch without threatening either the integrity of the game, or the integrity of our hard working developpers :D

We’re aware that the introduction cinematic is missing some subtitles and are working on it: it will be tackled in the next hotfix!

We’re tackling a memory leak issue causing freezes and performance drops the longer a play session lasts. As a workaround, you can save and restart the game ; this should make things better even if it is not ideal

Still working on improving the attack tooltips clarity

And more!
