Major update
The Wicked Days, our top-down zombie shooter is having a major update! To celebrate this, the game is on sale.
Thanks to your feedback and support, we have reworked GUI and HUD and now you can play our game using gamepad!
Our game The Wicked Days is having our first big update!
A lot has changed since version that we released for the first time to early access.
Thanks for writing us bug reports and your feedback and for your steam reviews!
After acquiring enough feedback we have reworked the graphical user interface, added item description and stats. Heads-up display is also updated, players now are able to see status effects even better, also player now is warned if his health is too low.
We received lots of questions about controllers support and although we already were working on it, we have moved it up in the priority list and with this update it is possible to play The Wicked Days with a gamepad!
We have also added more enemy encounters, more loot and items to the map!
We hope you will enjoy this update! We will continue to listen to feedback, tweak stuff and add new things.
