Our Biggest Update Yet -- Play It NOW!

It took over three months, lots of bug fixing, and a ton of feedback, but we’ve finally completed the first major component of Close Order!

Today, our newest – and biggest so far – update is now available. Here’s a breakdown of all that’s been changed recently:

  • Enemies, since release, have been rebuilt from the ground up to be based on specific behavior types (called archetypes).
  • These archetypes are now color-coded, so that even though you may be facing enemies that look differently, if they’re the same color, they’ll behave the same and you know what kind of armada to build to face the threat!
  • Our first section of the story, Hub World 1, is now complete! Two new levels have been added recently and this completes the story arc of looking for the remnants of humanity.
  • If you haven’t played recently, we chose to go with a standard level progression system where levels are unlocked sequentially.
  • Additionally, we’ve split up armada slots to be awarded based on total kill count! You’ll start with a few, and grow up to 40!
  • Minions are awarded for completing levels and playing all game modes. Explore the game and get tons of new minions!
  • If you find that story levels are too difficult, play Survival to rack up some easy kills in unique environments and level up your armada!
  • Finally, TONS AND TONS OF BUG FIXING! Guys and gals, we’ve fixed so much and it’s all thanks to you. Undoubtedly there are still some things to iron out, so please give us your feedback in the forums on anything and everything that may not be working correctly or that you would like to see changed.
