Hi everyone,
With the recent release of 8-Bit Armies: Arena we've seen a good influx of new players join our ranks. It's been very exciting to have so many new faces join us and we're glad to have you all on board! Now, we have even more reason to celebrate...
FREE VERSION OF 8-BIT ARMIES: ARENA RELEASES TODAY
We updated the demo of 8-Bit Armies to download a free version of Arena - but that didn't work and it was a little confusing. Many of you mentioned that you couldn't find our free version and after a good number of support requests we figured there must be an easier way.
Today, we're releasing the free version of 8-Bit Armies: Arena as a completely separate app to make it MUCH easier to find. Since we're all about introducing new players to the RTS genre, feel free to share a link to our Steam Store page so that we can grow the community together.
LOTS OF GOOD UPDATES AND FIXES
We have some good fixes going in this week, mostly focused around Observer and Replay modes we recently released. Check out the patch notes below for a full list of improvements.
