In just under 2 Weeks, we're releasing Version 1.0 for Axon TD: Uprising's Official Release! We've got one last preview for you all, as we show off Boss Mode and some Campaign Updates.
Boss Mode
Quickplay has a new mode that adds Bosses! Every few waves, a Boss will spawn. Depending on the map, you'll get a different Boss. Every single Quickplay and Co-op map has been given some much-needed updates as well.
You can also turn on Boss Mode in Co-op. And yes, multiple Bosses can spawn at the same time.
Now there are two of them!
Campaign Updates
Since the Campaign's original release, the balance of the game has been updated numerous times, making it a bit too easy. We've gone through each mission and tweaked the balance. Hard Difficulty should actually be a consistent challenge throughout the Campaign.
That's pretty chaotic for one mission.
Chapter 4 has received Optional Objectives, and Chapter 5 will have them out the gate. The Tech Tree has also been updated. In particular, each Tree is still powerful, but in order to get good gains out of the Resources and Expansion trees, it requires more point investment and tree advancement.
Oh, and as a little teaser for Chapter 5, we've updated OMEGA's design. It's no longer a big green skull.
You can bet OMEGA will show up in-game as a boss.
1.0 Alpha
We've been working on it more, with tons of fixes and the most refined the balance has ever been! Every Quickplay and Co-op map has received some updates. There's two new Overloads (visuals still pending). And more!

Also, shout out to the people that have completely broken certain Co-op maps with absurd path lengths. Congrats!
