🫡 Hi Commanders,
🚨 This is a major update, the first of many to come!
We’re kicking things off with our initial improvements to the Endless Mode, and to the Codex. This is just the beginning, and we’re eager to hear your thoughts as we continue refining the experience.
♾️ Endless Mode: Improved!
We’ve reworked Endless Mode to offer larger battlefields and longer sessions, while making the pacing more gradual, less punishing, and ultimately more rewarding. It’s still a challenge, but now it’s a more strategic one.
📖 Codex & Upgrades
We worked on improving the Codex. You can now easily hover over a building to preview its upgrade paths. Finally, the Codex is now also accessible in-game, letting you quickly consult it before placing a tower or choosing a reward. 🧠
