Release 48: Devilry

With this update, campaign mode is now another large step closer to being completed, as the fifth Chosen species has been added: Devil Chosen.  Rather than serving evil, Devils in the Corrupted Saviors universe are all about punishing mortals for their sins.  They consist of various subspecies, each of which specializes in punishing a different sin.  Fallen angels who punish sinners in Hell are of course present, but there are also oni who punish those who think themselves undefeatable, or bogeygirls who lurk in wait for anybody who disobeys the rules.

In campaign mode, Devils will show up after Splendor has been defeated, which means that they can appear in Loop 11 at the earliest.  They're very powerful, almost as strong as the bosses themselves, and so the new Devilish Clash scenario only puts you up against a single Devil with two regular human allies.  The abilities of Devil Chosen are based around getting stronger as their allies suffer more ANGST damage, so you have to be very careful about fighting them.  But after they fall to the side of the Demons, their Forsaken abilities are also on a whole new level.

The minor additions for this update include a new item which makes an alternate-universe evil duplicate of one of the Chosen to add to your Forsaken roster, so I imagine that fans of selfcest might find that enjoyable.  A new category of Forsaken customization has also been added, "tools," which allow you to customize how your Forsaken fight against the Chosen.  Currently, the only tool is a permanent-breast-expansion-incuding Demon which can normally only be equipped by Chosen who see the Satisfied Curiosity vignette commissioned by Kalloi.  This is a pretty steep requirement, but all tools will be equippable using cheat mode.

Everything is now in place for Angel Chosen to be added, but I want to collect some feedback about Devil Chosen before I add another species at the same power level.  So, next month is going to be an update focused on flavor content, including a new intermission scene similar to the Day 15 interview (but maybe a bit more sexy).  In the meantime, I'd very much like to hear everybody's thoughts on the new species!
