Graduation Day!

Today is the day.

Full Metal Sergeant 2 is officially out!

I’ve been working on this game for a long time, and I’m really happy to finally put it in your hands. This sequel is not just more content, it’s a complete evolution of the core systems.

First of all, the combat:

Full Metal Sergeant 2 introduces a completely new turn-based tactical combat system. Unlike traditional systems, there is no hit chance. Every shot lands. This changes everything.

The key to survival is positioning. Getting into cover as fast as possible is often the difference between life and death.

You can approach this in different ways:

• Train Agility and Discipline to secure cover positions before the enemy

• Or invest in Strength to increase HP and endure even when exposed

On top of that, you can find consumables directly on the battlefield, giving you temporary boosts that can turn the tide of a fight.

The goal was to create a system that rewards planning and adaptation rather than luck.

The second major change is the recruit stats system:

Field stats are still there: Strength, Agility, Shooting, Intelligence, Melee, Discipline

But now they directly influence a new layer

combat stats. Each class converts field stats into combat stats using its own scaling.

For example

Infantry HP = 2 + Strength / 20

This means that classes are no longer just roles, but fundamentally change how your recruits perform in combat. Some classes are more efficient because they use smaller divisors, resulting in stronger combat stats.

This system opens up a lot more depth when building your squad.

The visuals have also been improved:

My friend Alex, the artist behind the game, did an incredible job creating detailed animations despite the very limited pixel count.

The increased visual clarity doesn’t just look better, it also makes the game more readable. You can now immediately tell if a recruit is tired or stressed just by looking at them during the assembly phase.

Recruits now have actual faces, which makes everything feel more personal and engaging.

So a huge thank you to Alex for bringing all of this to life.

And me?

Well… I added the storms. With lightning and thunder ;)

Mission maps are now larger and with more events:

Key events and objectives are placed in fixed locations, which gives exploration a much stronger purpose and allows you to truly learn and master each map over time.

Be careful with your supplies. If you run out, your combat stats will suffer heavy penalties, and that can quickly turn a manageable mission into a disaster.

The skill tree has been completely reworked:

New trainings and services have been added, including activities like lawn mowing. You now also need to choose a camp specialization, adding another layer of strategy when preparing your final platoon before heading into a mission.

New recruitable characters:

Convincing them to join your ranks is no longer a single choice, you’ll need to navigate through a sequence of decisions to earn their trust.

I’ll leave the rest for you to discover...

Thanks to everyone who supported the project along the way. It really means a lot.

See you in the field.

Carlo.

My daughter releasing the game :D
