Price Change Notification
Dear Users! Update news are here from Broken Universe development team.
As announced last week, the price of the game will soon be changed to the official price of $9.99. The changed price will be reflected within a few days. In some countries, prices may increase even more.
While preparing the full version, we are preparing updates for the following items in the meantime.
Increase Number of Building Slots
There are currently 8 building slots. It is an increase from the initial 6, but as a fusion tower updated with a new tower, the need for various building combinations increased even more. The current number of slots is not enough to use various buildings and fusion towers, which reduce fun of game. Therefore, we are looking for ways to expand the number of building slots to 10 or 12 without harming the UI.
Decreased Difficulty in Normal Mode
Currently, the only difference between Normal Mode and Hard Mode is the stats of the monsters, and there is no other difference. The stat difference is not small, but Normal Mode is still difficult. In Wild Mode, there is a slight difference in the progress of the game because the landing point is different along with the difference in stats, but the difference between Normal Mode and Hard Mode is not very close. Therefore, in Normal Mode, the following methods are applied to differentiate it from Hard Mode, while lowering the difficulty.
Decrease the amount of monsters.
Certain abilities of some monsters are disabled.
The frequency of use of the boss' skill has been lowered.
The official release is scheduled for June and includes 9th Chapter and 3rd Sub-chapter, new Operations, Renovation content, expanded Armory content, new towers and fusion towers, new skills, and new skins.
Stay tuned until the official release. thank you! 💖

New content: Exploration
New Exploration content has been added and can be played from the "Exploration" menu.
Exploration is a highly difficult content where player play three random-generated stages in succession, and player can receive many parts and cores as a reward.
Stages are completely randomized for each play, so player will encounter a different stage each time. In addition, there is a characteristic that the resources, power, and drones left from the previous stage are transferred to the next stage, and if destroyed, a special wall from which player can acquire resources and power appears.
As the main chapter progresses, new regions are opened together, and each region consists of 10 difficulty levels. Challenge the unpredictable stages of exploration!
New content: Operation
Operation content has been newly added and can be played from the "Exploration" menu.
Operation is a comprehensive daily content consisting of various contents. There are two operations: 'Precision Exploration' and 'Stronghold Defense'.
Operations are opened alternately, one per day. If player fail to clear, player can continue to try again, but once player complete it, player cannot play again until the next open day. Therefore, it is recommended to play on the highest level of difficulty that can be cleared. As player progress through the main chapter, player can play on a higher level of difficulty.
Stages of all Operations are random-generated like Exploration, but the same stage appears on the same difficulty level for one day.
Precision Exploration
Precision Exploration is content that collects various additional rewards by blocking monsters on a stage covered in deep darkness.
By default, visibility is secured around monster portals and landing pod, and monsters in dark areas cannot be attacked, so you need to place multiple buildings to gain more visibility.
Also, there are walls where you can get gold, parts, and cores all over the field, and you can get many rewards by breaking these walls. However, if you fail to clear, you will lose all the rewards you have obtained.
Stronghold Defense
Stronghold Defense is content that collects as much gold as possible by holding out as long as possible.
You start with a lot of resources, but you can't mine any resources at all. Monsters don't drop resources either, but instead drop a lot of gold. As the phases pass, the monsters get stronger and more numerous, and each time you survive a phase, you acquire a certain amount of resources.
There is no failure in Stronghold Defense, and you can receive the gold obtained just before the lander is destroyed as a reward. Try to get as much gold as you can by holding on as long as possible.
New content: Armory
Armory content has been newly added and can be played from the "Armory" menu.
You can purchase multiple weapons from the Armory and choose one to equip. Weapons are automatically placed next to the landing pod at the start of the game to protect the landing pod.
