Quick difficulty / balance patch today to help with some of the new player onboarding. If you've played the game previously and found it too difficulty or punishing, definitely give this patch a try.
Some things that were changed:
- Increased escalation time pool, more time to explore levels and learn the ropes
- Increased Escape Timer in Heist missions, a little more leeway when going for max loot
- When escalation is full / out of time, reduced Enforcer initial damage and attack speed
- Increase number of early game rewards to jump start progression
- Reduce enemy projectile speed across all enemy types to make dodging more effective
The game is still quite difficult and the challenge levels will revert some of the changes listed above. So there are still lots of additional modifiers to enjoy along with late game builds and recruits.
Tip: We've made it so you have more time to complete levels, but Enforcers are still extremely deadly. Be sure to not take the extra time for granted too much. Happy cube blasting!
(Be sure to share us some screen shots of your procedural recruits when you complete your runs!)
