Greetings, Vikings of the battlefield!
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to all the Vikings who joined us on Badassgard's second expedition over the past two weeks.
Through CAT #2, you leaped into the fray—surviving, falling, and rising again—leaving behind countless records and pieces of feedback. Your gameplay data and opinions will be a massive driving force in shaping the future of Badassgard.
Now, we are stepping back from the battlefield for a moment to carefully review every record and voice you’ve shared. We will thoroughly examine and discuss what was fun and what fell short, and we’ll let you know how Badassgard's next expedition will evolve as soon as possible.
And even though the test is over, the battlefield isn't closing completely. In early October, the Badassgard demo will be re-opened. We will return with a brand-new battlefield, Theme 2, along with improvements based on the feedback we gathered during CAT #2. More details about the demo launch will be announced separately later.
⚠️ Notice on Test Conclusion
As of today, the official test schedule for Badassgard CAT #2 has concluded.
- Official Test End Time: September 15th at 5:00 AM (UTC)
Do not panic if the game disappears from your library or fails to launch after the end time. We are simply closing the gates for a moment to prepare for the next battlefield, and we kindly ask for your understanding.
📝 The Feedback Survey is Still Open
Although the CAT #2 test has ended, you can still submit the feedback survey until September 18th. Those who complete the survey will receive an exclusive CAT #2 skin.
If you still have thoughts to share, please be sure to send them through the survey. Everything is valuable feedback—whether it’s something you found inconvenient, a fun moment, parts that were hard to understand, or which oparts and combinations felt too strong or too weak.

🔨 Preparing for the Next Battlefield
The THECOVE team will now go through your feedback and play data one by one, refining Badassgard into a more solid game.
We will actively incorporate your opinions regarding oparts balance, combat tempo, UI/UX, boss fights, and the core loop structure gathered from this test into our next build improvements.
Our dev team is personally reading and reviewing every single piece of feedback you’ve sent. We are discussing which suggestions to implement and how to turn them into an even more fun experience. We will share the improvement plans for the next build, shaped by your voices, very soon. Please look forward to it!
And the battlefield goes on even after the test! The demo, featuring your feedback and improvements from CAT #2 along with the addition of the new Theme 2 battlefield, is scheduled to re-open in early October. We will provide more details soon.
Aside from the demo, we are also preparing the next test to showcase an even more evolved version of Badassgard. We will share our plans for this next test as soon as they are ready.
