A massive high five to all the Early Access adopters who have contributed to Rearmed with invaluable feedback and player testing. I hope that I've provided you guys with an enjoyable experience - it's only getting better from here! There are more major updates to come, I'm working my hardest to have the game ready in Q1 2016.
Checkout the new action trailer and see Rearmed in all it's updated glory!

2016 starts strong for Rearmed in Early Access! We've gone from v0.7.x to v0.8! This is a major milestone to reach, Rearmed is maturing into a more refined and entertaining product! Let's take a closer look at whats new:
The main antagonist, Vandheer, is now a playable character! Perhaps this is the most exciting feature ever added to Rearmed. Vandheer is aggressive, fast and fluid, yet difficult to master. His move set is influenced by his previous skills in other AwW titles, yet distinctively new and very much Rearmed.
Vandheer stomping units in 2016!
I've added a new Level to the 2nd half of the game. The new Level 23 has a brand new terrain type where you can slide down slopes and gain momentum. Slopes are also harder to walk up, you might even slip!
Slide down some new slopes!

The Menu system and User Interface has been revamped! The old Menu failed to address the player in a few ways: Some players disliked how Story Mode would always start from the beginning. Even though there was a Level Select, most people wanted to 'continue' their game. The new Menu has better UX, and looks x10 more slick.
Rearmed is restyled for 2016
Survival Mode has not received much love from me since EA Launch. A new Survival Arena has been added to inject more life and variance into Survival mode. Actually, in the process of adding this new arena, I've made it more simple to add additional arenas. Expect more!
Try out the new Survival arena, The Cliff.
