Steam Awards Underway | November 28 Update: Follow-Up Combo Improvements

We are planning to push an update on November 28 that focuses on refining cross-style follow-up combo for smoother moves, and improving tutorial for easier pickup.

Also, a small announcement here: Spirit X Strike is up for “Best Game You Suck At” in the 2025 Steam Awards!

I know that Spirit X Strike’s high-speed combat can be demanding (certain sections may have caused smashed keyboards), but watching players practice, improve, go from getting stuck to progress, from beaten up to beating them up… maybe that feeling of triumph is exactly why we love action games! If that is also how you felt playing Spirit X Strike, I’d be incredibly grateful if you could vote for the game!

You’ll find the detailed patch notes below for reference. If you run into any issues or have suggestions, feel free to reach out in our official Discord server. I’ll work on everything as quickly as possible.

2. Added Eagle style Spirit Dash counterattack special move.

3. Added new dialogue animations for Irina, Hawk, and Erin.
