addedThere's a lot to talk about, so I split this update into two parts. In this post I’ll show some of the new things just added to the Alpha. In part two, I'll show a few things we’re working on for the full release (spoiler: new mechs).

addedNew Map - CliffsideThat’s right, a smaller map! In Cliffside, running away is far less effective, and the risk of ring-outs adds a new challenge.

addedNew Ability - VentAdded a new ability, Vent, which repairs your mech and pushes enemies away. This depletes your Guts, so it should only be used in dire moments.

addedGameplay ChangesYou can now move instantly after Burst if used defensively, (i.e. while in knockback). You still miss a turn if you raw burst or if your burst is parried.

Gameplay Changes

You can now move instantly after Burst if used defensively, (i.e. while in knockback). You still miss a turn if you raw burst or if your burst is parried.

Flank attacks now cause knockback even while dodging or attacking.

Jab now pushes enemies away.

Speed

I replaced "Efficacy" with "Speed". The original purpose of efficacy was to provide a simple number for comparing various attacks. However, it seems to cause some confusion... So, to simplify it further, I changed it to "speed" which displays a positive number. The higher the number, the faster the attack. Faster attacks beat slower attacks. I hope this helps!

New Mechs

That's it for new demo content. Check out what's coming soon in part 2 of this update. Read Part 2 here: Preview: New Mechs (And More)
