It now features 3 new stages, a whole bunch of new items and... uhm well, needed bugfixes! Something 'brand new' are the items that are dependant on your hero level! Yep! Like the rare ring of the cobra, which increases your critical modifier by 3% of your herolevel so a level 50 hero would get a 1,5 increased crit modifier (compare to 1 from jewel of mastery :) [they stack!])
I'm not sure about the balance in the game anymore, because you can get pretty high crit rates right now... Sspecially as assassin :P. However! check out the new videos (I'm sorry that they dont have sound :S).
