Aftercharge
Aftercharge is Powering Down
As of today, it is no longer possible to purchase the game anywhere and all existing players have been rewarded with 16 000 Aftercoins. At the end of the month, we will shut down the servers and effectively erase Aftercharge from existence.
It is a very painful news to share. We spent 3 years developing and marketing Aftercharge and those years are full of great memories. We really loved that game and believed in its potential.
For far too long, our monthly server costs have outweighed the revenues generated by the game. It is time to move on.
If you have purchased Aftercharge recently on Steam or the Xbox Store, we can only imagine your disappointment in reading this. We encourage you to look into the refund options of each platform.
If your attempts are unfructuous, please send us an email at contact@chainsawesomegames.com and we will see how we can make it up.
Chainsawesome Games lives on and thanks to our most recent release, Knight Squad 2, the future's looking bright. If you were a fan of us through Aftercharge, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We invite you to join our studio’s Discord and come talk to us and the rest of the fans.
Stay Awesome!
Double XP is the new default XP
Hello community!
Our experience with the two Triple XP events we ran made us realise our default XP maybe wasn't exciting enough. We keep learning, we keep improving.
We have now set "Double" XP to the default XP. You will now level up and unlock colors and skins much faster.
See you on the battlefield!
Triple XP is ON!

Hello Aftercharge players!
We have a little treat for all of you this weekend. Until next Monday, all experience gained is TRIPLED.
Your first win of the day will get you a massive 3000 experience points.
Team-up with people on Discord and see you on the battlefield this weekend!
Buster is joining in the next update!
Hello everyone!
As we want the next update to be as big as possible, we decided we'd throw a new character on the enforcer side as well.
"Buster brings the heaviest artillery on the field. With his powerful machine gun and his mini deployable turrets, you’ll want to hide as far as possible from his radar sticks. His weaponry is unmatched when it comes to blasting one area. Not too keen at following orders, Buster is only on this mission to see his new toys pump lasers onto the battlefield. One could say he’s the rebel of the bunch."
We expect that update to hit before the end of the month.

Have a great day!
The Free Weekend is ON!
Welcome all newcomers!
Aftercharge is now FREE to try on Steam until Sunday 1:00 pm PST. We're excited to welcome you all into our game and we hope you'll enjoy it to the fullest.
For our current players, this means the servers will be crazy full during the weekend, it's the best time to jump in and show them the ropes.
Have a great weekend and please join our community on Discord.
Cannon is coming!
Here is CANNON, the 6th Workonic
This character will damage extractors from afar using slow-moving projectiles of energy. The amount of charges will increase how much damage the projectile can take before disappearing. Enforcers will need to pay attention to Cannon's projectiles and shoot them down before they reach their target.
We feel like this character is going to change the way enforcers are playing!
Cannon is being tested out internally and will be included in the next update.
New update!
Here it is, our very first Aftercharge client update! As we have stated earlier last week, this update is what we can call a "Quality of Life" so there is not a lot of new things that will affect experienced players. We have focused our efforts on improving the experience for new players so they stay with us longer. We have more content in the works and the next update will be much meatier.
