We're excited to release Armored Evolution 3.0 with 9 new Avatars and 29 new Cores! And if you like what we've done so far, you're going to love our new project Stolen Realm which is on Kickstarter now.
We are huge fans of turn based co-op RPGs (we constantly play games like Divinity or Baldur’s Gate 3 etc.) but found that there were some common drawbacks.
Turns take too long (especially when you have that one friend on your team that has to calculate every possible combination of outcomes before taking his turn).
Targeting/Navigation is sometimes tedious.
Excessive waiting for other players to finish activities you're not involved in.
Storyline difficult to follow in multiplayer mode.
With Stolen Realm we are trying to solve these issues by implementing the following:
A simultaneous team turn system for faster paced combat.
Fixed camera with a hex based grid for easy navigation and targeting.
Fun, rewarding activities and exploration where all members of the party always have something to do.
An engaging story that brings you along as a party.
[Bonus] The ragdoll effects make pummeling enemies feel incredible!
We can't wait to hear what you think. We are so thankful for all your support!
We're extremely happy to announce that Armored Evolution leaves early access into full release today! It's been an awesome journey with great help from our community.
