For the last couple of weeks I've been working on a few updates to Walking Heavy, which are now live.
Firstly the help screen accessed from the pause menu has been given a major facelift. Previously this simply showed a rather basic list of controls, this now gives a comprehensive list of all controls as well as other vital information to understanding the game - such as a guide to the friends and (mainly) foes you will come across in the boroughs.
Which brings me to point number 2 - additional enemies have been added who will appear at various stages in the game. These include the SOCA agents (like British FBI) who will recognise you on sight even if you're yet to break the law on a level, and hitmen who will disguise themselves among the crowd and ambush you when you least expect it (you didn't think you could bump off all those suppliers without getting a price on your head did you?).
The bug which caused the game to crash on completion of the tutorial level is fixed, so if you've been experiencing this issue I hope you decide to play on.
Finally, the eagle eyed amongst you may notice a couple of new additions to the main menu - Lie Low and Rampage Mode. These will be coming very soon and will add some new gameplay aspects -
Lie Low - This will give you the opportunity to play through the game from the start, whilst retaining your skills and inventory. I don't know about you but I find there's something very satisfying about going back to the earliest levels which I once struggled on to blitz through them with a set of superior weapons and skills.
Rampage - Ever just want to let off some steam and have a huge shoot out with the police but don't want to use all of your ammo and muck the level up? Well rampage mode will let you do just that, providing free ammo and hordes of enemies to gun down, whilst you compete for the top spot on the rampage leaderboard! You can also earn some extra cash to take back to career mode on the side.
So that's all for now! Expect to see more updates and the additional game modes landing by the end of the month.
