Commanders,

Based on your previous feedback, we've implemented a major overhaul of the game—including level redesigns, difficulty tuning, and story revisions.

Redesigned Levels

We've introduced a brand-new introductory mission that showcases more gameplay content, allowing players to experience late-game units early.

Additionally, we've slowed the pace of the tutorial levels, creating a stress-free environment for players to learn the game while demonstrating more specific tactical approaches.

Story Revamp

The narrative now adopts a more accessible style. You play as a newly appointed Commander, leading humanity's resistance against the threat of AI Chaos Entity.

Unit Distinguishability Improvements

The Engineering Vehicle's model has been redesigned to enhance visual distinction from Recon. Vehicles. All units now feature unit icons displaying Unit Class and Armor Type (Shield-shaped outlines denoting armored units).

Quality of Life Improvements

All tutorial content link into Database where you can read any time.

Attackable targets now display counter indicators.

Damage popups include counter relationship markers.

Engineering Vehicles preview build outcomes and resource warnings.

Factory blueprints highlight missing resources/slot shortages seperately.

Added Quick Save (F5) with dedicated folder storage.

Enhanced save operation notifications.

Environment Art Updates

Halark Planet Cover objects replaced stone pillars with alien cactus.

Unit always appear before cover objects.

Added Hyperion Prime human headquarters theme

Bug Fixes

Fixed bug that cause unit not able to recover to unmoved state when staying at orginal place then selecting other units.

Resolved tooltip display issues on 16:10 aspect ratios.

Future Content

New demo missions incoming (including some levels from old version).

About Old Version

To continue missions in old version, you can switch game versions mannaully.

Due to level restructuring, saves ARE NOT compatible between versions, but updated game now stores save files at a different location. Switching between versions will not cause save file conflicts..

How to Switch Versions
