Today's patch includes a handful of minor bug fixes and balance tweaks that we didn't get in before the official launch. Please see below for details:
Bug Fixes:
The female Exo Armour unit's combat drug ability now works properly.
Fixed some barricades that were not visible during the final levels.
Female exo armour's icon provides a visual indication that she can equip swords.
Balance Changes:
Increased plasma bot ranged damage by 5.
Female Combat Droids can now equip pistols.
Male Combat Droids can now equip flamers.
Changes:
The camera now focusses on the mid point between attacker and target during an enemy's attack so that both attacker and target are in the screen.
Reduced the size and font of the tutorial window on levels with tutorial sections.
Reduced the size of the message window on team selection that lets you choose between a pre-made team or a manually selected one.
Out of Early Access - Full Launch Today!
Full Launch Today!
Today is the end of the early access for Strike Team Gladius. The early access was a great experience as it gave us 3 extra months of hardcore testing and the feedback needed from the community to help us fine tune the game. Since early access, the game has received a completely redesigned UI, new characters, new enemies, new items to equip and loads of other refinements. We are tremendously thankful to our fans and community at large for the feedback. I hope you continue to enjoy the game and join us in supporting our upcoming titles.
In coming weeks, we will have regular bug fix patches as any issues are identified and later in the year, we plan to add a free mission pack.
Weekly Patch Notes
This update brings us within spitting distance of our full release (hopefully next week on Thursday) and includes the final 2 character classes for the roster. The male Exo Armour trooper is a power-armoured brute carrying a huge rotary canon. The female variant is completely different and is melee focused ... though she also carries a grenade launcher. Both units are very heavily armoured and can dish out a lot of damage but somewhat cumbersome so have no counter attacks on their base profile and are on the slower side. Please try them out and let us know how you like them.
New Additions:
Exo Armour male and female character classes added to roster.
Added tutorial prompt on campaign 14 to help guide the player to the computer terminal.
Balance Changes:
Reduced number of enemy patrols on campaign 15 and 16.
