New demo this summer
This summer we will offer you to play the new demo version of the game, so you can evaluate for yourself the work we have done and the improvements we have implemented in the game.
- In the demo you will be able to see:
- Improved character animation
- New Combat Effects
- Completely redesigned talent trees
- New skill description and hint system
- Improved loot system
- New types of weapons and armor
- Ship Bay upgrade system
In addition, the demo will be wider, and you will be able to advance your heroes to level 10 if you wish.
Work continues on high level third tier heroes
Heroes of the third rank, or Tier-3, represent the final level of development of any archetype. Let's talk about some of them.
Phoenix - walking crematorium
The Phoenix is not just a new armor, but a full-fledged combat unit with an operator inside. In essence, it's a human-controlled mech. All of Earth's leading research has gone into the creation of this machine. Its frontal armor is so strong that it could face a large-caliber projectile without a problem, while the operator inside won't even spill his coffee. Every Phoenix has a unique appearance and its armaments are classified. It's great that we have a couple of these machines on the ship!
Bellator - long-range master
There is a long-standing dispute between the Berserk and Bellator groups: which is better, firearms or hand-to-hand combat? Berserker have favored their fists, but Bellator are trying to prove the superiority of ranged combat. Bellator's top brass have been soliciting the state's best military toys for themselves: they get all the latest guns, armor samples and other gizmos first. The Bellator agents are invisibly present wherever there is a secret development and security risk to the state.
Lautus - pest control
Scientists have recently discovered that certain substances can harm local fauna. This was the start of the Lautus, a dual-use squad whose mission is not only to rescue the wounded, but also to suppress the enemy with chemical weaponry. For example, some chemicals can leave severe burns on local monsters, while others can paralyze them. Lautus are able to spray substances over a large area, covering crowds of enemies. Lautus opens up many new ways for the clever commander to fight.
Expanded on ship bays upgrade system
You may have already seen a glimpse of the ship's bay upgrade system if you reached the "Meet the crew" task in the demo.
We have redesigned all the upgrades and made them more interesting and understandable.
The number of improvements has increased from 9 to 27 pcs, 9 for each of the three bays.
Our programmers have already finished work on the implementation of the new rich functionality of the improvements.
New weapons and equipment are introduced
Thanks to the new classes, we have expanded the number of weapons and special class-specific equipment items.
A lot of new items are waiting for you, from portable medical laboratories to combat implants. And of course, pistols, machine guns and flamethrowers are waiting for their heroes!
Implemented game mechanics - wave attack
Completed work on a new game mechanics - wave attack.
The point is that the monsters attack you in several runs.
After killing the first pack, the next wave of enemies will attack.
Support drones
We have finalized two helper drones that will assist the squad on raids. The loader drone will drop combat equipment, and the medical drone will help with resuscitation of wounded fighters.
They will help you to fulfill your combat tasks and return to the base in a great mood, and most importantly - alive.
There will be no more questions about how the boxes of ammunition got to this remote cave!
New special effects have been implemented
We introduced new special effects to the game, such as: poison and acid attack, stealth system, shock effects and much more.
This makes the impact of the attacks look much better and more spectacular.
Visual orgasm for your eyes is practically assured!
