Evaluation

Talented launched on December 20, 2024 and has been receiving consistent post-launch support. Four major free content updates have shipped — 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 (January 30, 2026), and 1.4 (May 1, 2026) — alongside two paid DLC expansions: Wave of Shadows (May 30, 2025) and Beastmaster's Call (January 30, 2026), plus a Supporter Pack. Active development is clearly ongoing. On May 29, 2026, the developer announced both a 1.5 update (focused on reworking the talent tree) and a new unnamed paid DLC to be revealed "in the coming months." Since then, TurtleFox Games has published a series of detailed devlogs previewing 1.5 content — on June 12, July 17, July 31, and August 14, 2026 — walking through specific gameplay changes including talent reworks, new item types, new talent tree shapes, and ability rebalancing. The most recent post, dated August 14, 2026, confirms the DLC announcement is imminent, stating they are "soon approaching the time to announce" it. Anyone waiting for the game to be fully complete should expect at least one more major free update (1.5) and one more paid expansion before development winds down.

About this game

When Ed accepted the challenge of surviving exactly 20 days and 20 nights in The Demonic Conveyor Belt (D.C.B), he thought his Elite Mastery Professor had been exaggerating that it was 'the most feared dungeon of all'. This thought quickly disappeared into the fog surrounding him, when he passed through the gates of the dungeon to find the largest eyeball he'd ever seen. Would he forever remain just Ed, or could he become Talent Ed?

Talented is an arcade roguelite shoot 'em up with randomly generated skill trees. Survive 20 nights and defeat the dungeon to unlock all six classes, each with unlockable talents, abilities and challenges. 

Send a hail of arrows, conjure powerful spells, brew unique potions, or call upon an army of snails to hold back the demons. The possibilities are endless.
