Repeated intro
Hey Aces! We've kept to our cave for a few months working on a very large update. We thought we'd have it out by now, but like a Frenzied invasion, it's only gotten larger! Part of the blame rests with our amazing community Discord members who have provided so much great feedback.

Battle Suit Aces changes
You can join the roguelite beta branch using password legsaws12345 (Library->Properties->Betas)
This build is fully compatible with the main campaign, so it's ok to switch over to it for an overall better experience. Just English for now, but localization is in the works!
So, what's coming next to Battle Suit Aces?
New Roguelite Mode
A massive roguelite mode, with new ships, cards, lore, and even daily challenges. We'll reveal the name and all the details later, but for now, let's take a look at some of the key screens.
Steam post image Not just on Zephyr anymore! If you agreed with Hanako's disgust of Patchwork's old bucket of bolts, you'll enjoy unlocking the rest of the fleet.
Steam post image You'll be making lots of choices as you progress, starting with pilots, mods, and drones. Hmm, Robynn looks even more special today!
Steam post image Remember, the journey is the destination! Unless you want more Drones.
Daily Runs
Oh, and there's a new Daily Challenge you can compete on! You start with a set of pilots, drones, and mods on a selected ship and take it from there. You'll be trying some combos that are way out of your confort zone. We'll be watching the leaderboards!
Feedback
Let us know what to improve or tweak! Difficulty, map choices, unlock rates, and overall variety are all areas we're tweaking.
Tons of bug fixes and polish
The list of fixes is enormous and includes some broken mod/card interactions, passives that just didn't work, and misconfigured cards that would always go to the Trash pile when discarded. Oops!
The biggest upgrade is in battle: a huge number of enemy and player card projectile VFX have been leveled up! Here are some of my favorite new monster attacks.

Until next time, Aces!
We'll see you on the daily leaderboards and keep an eye out for feedback as we polish the roguelite! Add your thoughts to this post or join our Discord server!
