Hi Shadowers,

As part of Steam Next Fest, we would like to highlight the system at the heart of each run in the current demo: Drone Combinations.

You can now merge different drones mid run to unlock powerful, evolving synergies that reshape your entire playstyle. This is not about stacking small upgrades. It is about committing to a direction and engineering your own combat identity.

Certain combinations only unlock once you fully invest in compatible upgrade paths, rewarding deliberate build decisions instead of random picks.

The deeper you push into a run, the more unstable and impactful these synergies become.

If you are playing the demo during Next Fest, try committing to a focused drone build and see how it transforms the battlefield.

We are looking forward to your feedback.
