Updates and Clarifications (Singleplayer and Multiplayer)
Hi all!
We had a great launch yesterday!
Thank you for all your great feedback and comments.
Here are 2 big features that players don't seem to know about.
We want to make sure everyone knows about them! :D
1. Singleplayer Story Mode
Smashbox Arena has an addictive offline singleplayer Story Mode that lets you unlock characters and their mini-bios!
The Story Mode has 3 levels of difficulty.
2. AI Characters for Online Multiplayer
We have AI characters in the game!
They automatically fill in when you need teammates online. So as people come and go, you'll always have teammates and competitors to play with.
We've done a lot to make sure Smashbox Arena is a polished and complete experience! Thank you so much for playing the game. :)
