May Update: Saving and Skills

Over the past month we’ve been focusing on improving and optimizing the user interface. After a few in-person playtesting sessions with some new players, we realized that even after playing through the tutorial, some folks are still confused about how the different skills work. To address this, we’ve decided to include a short video popup—inspired by Into the Breach—to demonstrate the skill in action when you hover over the icon.

Save Slots

Our old main menu required players to enter a profile name when starting a new game or creating a new game save. This is the classic format and would be familiar to most players, but it’s not very controller friendly, and it’s an extra step. In the latest version we provide 4 save slots. Simply select a slot and start playing, no profile name needed!

More new skills...

Kieran’s Ultimate is a simple but powerful support skill: she protects her ally by clearing the Shade.

Fireworks

One of Lynette the Demon’s favorite tricks—her limited usage Ultimate damages all enemies on the map.

Tornado

The Tornado pushes any units in a row.

Typhoon

The Typhoon damages the target in the center and pushes adjacent units clockwise.

Knockback

This powerful gunshot pushes both the target and Colt back. This is sometimes useful to escape the enemy’s attack zone. Be careful not to knock yourself into an obstacle!
