Hello dear Regain Earth Players, Testers, Community & Early Access Pioneers,
Over the past few weeks I've released a lot of minor updates to Regain Earth: First Strike, and here I'd like to give an overview of all those changes.
Thank you!
As always and first of all, I want to say a big thank you to our awesome testers & Discord community & TikTok community for giving me feedback on REFS and great new ideas. This is what drives the development of the game!
Thanks a lot!!!
Updates!
- New player air defense turret with homing missiles, which also intercept rockets from opponents. Can be found as a grenade.
- New boss fight, a different kind of mech (Mech "Runner"). Faster and with different weapon, but no missiles.
- Now two grenade slots instead of one
- New shield grenades. Now a total of 3 shield grenade types and new visualization.
- Melee weapon (sci-fi baton) new design and with animation when equipping.
- Translations Germand and Polish
- New grenade that turns into a laser firing turret that supports the player. Unlimited in time, the turret remains at your side until it is destroyed. Turret, like the player, is recognized as an enemy by AI and attacked.
- Higher overall grenade drop rate
- Effects of frost and speed grenade extended
- Visual HUD Weapon Slots and grenade Slots
- New Leaderboard switch in the main menu. Now you can switch through all leaderboards in terms of map, difficulty and team size.
- Major change in player ragdoll to make sure the player can't get stuck in walls, holes or elsewhere.
- Implemented a much more natural shooting behavior for both robots, with a delay when the player is first spotted for the first time or when not seen for a long time. So, Rocksy can not come around the corner and blow you up directly. Also better aim in the direction of the player. And prevent the bug that shooting robots can come to the player position without shooting at him.
- New Extreme difficulty. Unlock it by surviving 6 rounds on Hardcore. Up to 8 waves are awaiting you on Extreme!
- You can now change the shoulder side of the camera. Just hold down "Holster Weapon" (Q).
- Mutants are now called "MuTecs". This was a result of the TikTok poll and is meant to combine mutants and robots (technology) in one word.
- New effect for "speed boost" grenade
- Renaming of the difficulty levels.
- Now Hardcore difficulty (previously "Hard") is only available once you have completed Advanced (previously "Normal").
- New melee animations
- New speed boost grenade, higher player speed without negative effect on the bullet spread
- Player switch in the spectator camera, also possible to change back to your downed player
- Many small improvements and bugfixes!
