Level Purpose

Any rogue-like requires some kind of mechanic to permanently upgrade your character. Some games approach this with a hub station inside the levels themselves or have some mobile solution to upgrade permanent character traits on the fly. Since Trial of Wrathnyr already has non-permanent upgrades during the run and it could overwhelm the player, we decided to create a hub level where the player returns to after a raid has been completed or they have died. The goal is to have multiple friendly NPCs that act as merchants offering permanent upgrades through armor pieces, spells, enchantments, and more.
