Suit up, Space Cadets! The first update of We Are Screwed! just launched and we have packed a bunch of other out-of-this-world announcements! Put your Extravehicular Visor Assembly on and let's take a closer look..
F[reakingly] Big Space Gun
Charge up a big plasma ball with the F-BSG turret that once fired, will zap nearby enemies for significant amounts of damage! The key to operating the F-BSG Module is to shoot the plasma ball close to the enemies while also avoiding hitting them.
Mine Launcher
The Mine Launcher launches up to 5 mines into space, that work exactly like the regular mines. Using the Mine Launcher, you can create minefields and traps for enemies or use them for chaining up an explosive surprise. Be sure to keep your distance though, these mines can hit your spaceship with a mighty blast!
Enemy Groups
Some enemies prefer hanging out in groups with a bigger, faster, and tankier Leader in their midst! These groups will be randomly generated depending on the level and have a possibility to be marked. Taking out every single enemy of a marked group will reward you with awesome equipment!
Hands Off Turret
This turret reflects enemy projectiles back towards them: You basically shoot them with their own bullets! PS: It can also be used to push enemies away a bit. Into a pit. In space.
That's not all!
Verified on Steam Deck!
We're over the moon to announce that We Are Screwed! is now Verified on the Steam Deck! Check it out and let us know how it runs!
