Hello everyone,
We are Dev team of Microvolts: Recharged.
On August 26, we rolled out a major update to the weapon system.
Since then, we’ve carefully reviewed the many pieces of feedback you’ve shared. While our hope was that this update would serve as a refreshing step forward, we realize that the intentions behind these changes may not have been
clearly conveyed. For that reason, we wanted to break our silence and provide a more detailed explanation of the decisions we made and the direction we’re aiming for.
We hope that through this note, our intentions and long-term vision become clearer.
======================================
1. Why we reworked the combat mechanics
At the beginning of the game, we tried to maintain a traditional FPS-style combat system. However, this approach limited the unique weapon concepts that define Microvolts. We came to the conclusion that the previous system was not aligned with the game’s core identity.
With this update, our goal has been to highlight the individuality of each weapon concept and allow players to experience a wider range of playstyles. Moving forward, we want combat to be more than just numbers on weapon stats. We want every weapon to bring unique effects, distinctive traits, and tactical possibilities, giving you the freedom to tune and strategize in your own way.
2. Weapon types and concepts
This update brings a big change to how each weapon type works. Our goal was to make the traits of each type clearer, so that players can choose weapons that match their preferred style.

3. Looking ahead
Our future plans for MVR include expanding weapon customization and introducing more tuning variations so that every player can express their preferred combat style. We are also planning additional cosmetic options—such as glow effects, which many of you have requested—to provide a sense of visual satisfaction alongside gameplay improvements.
Most importantly, we want to emphasize that our focus is not only on balance numbers, but also on your actual play experiences. Your feedback will continue to guide us as we refine and improve the game.
