Hey folks! We are working hard to bring Arena's demo for Steam Summer Festival as ready as it possible and we've already managed to achieve a few important milestones.
The game already feels significantly different compare to Redemption's multiplayer due to some important changes.
The first change is the priority order. As we promised, we leveled the advantage of small teams. Now you won't be find in the situation where your opponent gets additional turns and therefore also rounds if you succesfully killed some of his men.
The second thing is overall improvement for cards. The original idea for the deck was to add an additional option for a player to affect the fight with more powerful cards for late rounds. Unfortunately, it felt like the waste of turn in the early rounds, thus not many players actually used them. We decided to change it, so now you can use a card as an additional measure before moving your character.
Another big thing is completly rebalanced skills and cards. We wanted to make the fights a bit quicker and dynamic. Now they are almost two times faster than fights in Redemption. Of course, it needs a proper testing but we believe 6vs6 fight is going to take about 9 minutes if both players are familiar enough with the game.
You can see this changes for yourselves on Steam Summer Festival. We will publish a demo of Arena and will be really glad to learn your thoughts about it. Stay tuned!
