Two New Areas to Dive Into
First up, the Netherguild update adds two unique floors to explore.
The Sewers: Expect to face swarms of pesky pests and automated cleaning machines. Watch out for the ancient sewer water — since it slows your units and adds an extra layer of strategy to the fight.

These areas are not just about the combat — they’re also full of loot and mysteries that add to the thrill of each descent.

Four New Classes to Master
The update doubles the number of classes in the game, with two tied to the Nobility faction and two to the Commoners. Here’s what’s coming to Linux and Steam Deck:
The Duelist (Nobility): A master of Bleed and Incapacitate effects, the Duelist is perfect for those who like to keep enemies on their toes (or off their feet).
The Alchemist (Nobility): A healer with a twist. This class buffs allies, takes advantage of enemy status effects, and delivers a massive single-use heal that scales with health.
The Healer (Commoners): A straightforward support class that’s all about keeping your team healthy and free of negative effects. If you want a pure healer, this is your pick.
The Hero (Commoners): This tanky powerhouse absorbs damage, buffs allies, and builds up for a devastating blow to crush enemies later in the fight.
These classes add fresh strategies and synergies, letting you build the perfect party for your underground adventures.

What Makes Netherguild Update Special?
If you’re new, here’s the detail. It’s a turn-based tactical roguelite dungeon crawler with no RNG in its attacks. So every move is a calculated risk. You lead your voxel warriors on expeditions below ground, while searching for a cure to a devastating plague. Along the way, you’ll camp at bonfires, manage resources, and face off against strange creatures in a unique low-fantasy setting. No elves or fireball - slinging wizards here — just a gritty story, odd machines, and a world full of surprises. Each expedition is a mix of careful planning and unpredictable discoveries, with procedurally generated levels ensuring no two runs feel the same.

Netherguild is still in Early Access on Steam, and David plans to keep adding content updates, features, and polish for a few more years. He’s also working closely with the community. So your feedback could shape the game’s future. So, what are you waiting for? Grab your crew, dive into the new areas, and try out those shiny new classes.
