Release 14: Climax

This release implements the final battle on Day 50, where the Chosen either defeat the Demon Lord and save the city, or else end up defeated themselves and lose their powers or even their lives.  The endings and training mechanics still aren't in yet, which means that both outcomes just move you forward to Day 51 so you can keep messing around with the team, but you can at least get a preview of the various fates in store for defeated Chosen (and even some of the victorious Chosen).

The final battle introduces a couple of new mechanics, so it might be wise to save beforehand in order to give yourself an opportunity to see how they work in practice.  Once you're close to the final battle (meaning either you're past Day 45 or you have at least one of the upgrades that lets you damage Resolve), you can check the Chosen's profiles to see how they'll act and how you can beat them.  There are a few distinct strategies that can be used to win, so I look forward to seeing which ones are most popular.
