Commanders!
The time has come and the long-awaited Survival Mode update is finally here! After careful testing and taking all your suggestions into consideration, we have made several changes to the way we handle Survival Mode in X-Morph: Defense. The timer has been reworked, allowing the players whether they would like to earn extra points for skipping countdown or strategize during the intermission a bit longer. We also updated some of the maps, adjusting early waves and resources available.
The difficulty levels have been renamed and their descriptions updated. This way we can prepare the players better for the challenges ahead, avoiding unnecessary confusion. We hope this will smoothen the new player experience and make the learning curve a bit less steep for our users.

Along with these changes we are releasing a new DLC - Survival of the Fittest! You can put the new features and your skills to the test on 5 new maps, designed with the specifics of the Survival Mode in mind. Revisit reworked South Africa, Great Britain, France, Netherlands and Finland. The last three maps also feature the unique defensive measures used by the humans, known from the European Assault DLC.
Please note that the balance changes are global - all X-Morph: Defense players will be able to enjoy the enhanced Survival Mode experience, regardless of the purchased DLCs - those stay entirely optional.
