Summer Sale Discount And All The Monsters You Can Handle
The Steam Summer Sale is back and The Pit 2 moves ever closer to leaving Early Access with the 1.0.19 update, which besides adding a host of fixes, tweaks, and quality of life changes saw the last of the monsters added to the game, including The Swamp Strangler, which can make itself invisible, the Harpy Warbot, the Adaptoid - is that a real locker, or an Adaptoid? Only way to find out it get close! - and the ominous Von Neumann Drone.
But that's not all, there are dozens and dozens of Pit denizens lurking in the dark - from little rats to big robots, every level deeper you go will be a bigger and bigger challenge. But remember, besides trying to survive to the bottom, you might luck out and find an Escape Pod, taking your score with you.
Early Access for The Pit 2 was done as an opportunity for players - those new to the series and those who've put a lot of time into the original - to provide us with their feedback on the game as we implemented the final game mechanics and worked to balance the game. Once the game leaves Early Access, the Early Access pricing will go away as well, which means this is one of the last opportunities to pick the game up at Steam Sale prices!
So, grab the game today! If you can't, be sure to put it on your wishlist, and if you already have, please please please give the game a review in the Steam Store!

The Pit 2 Gives Players A Third Option Other Than Winning Or Dying; Escape Pods
"A what? Why?" you ask? Well, for a few reason. Firstly because a Roguelike is an unforgiving premise - you make it or you don't. But in The Pit 2 you're also a mercenary treasure hunter, a raptor, so dying doesn't sound terribly profitable. So, we've begun implementing a few features that give you a third option. If you survive long enough to find an escape pod, and maybe you're not too confident about your chances of reaching the bottom, why not take the money and run?
"What money?" you ask, because you are full of questions today! Not literal money, but you've been racking up a score in the game for some time and the Escape Pod is a way to take that score and brag about it. More importantly, we've added Datacore items; cubes filled with vast amounts of alien research and information which will be worth a fortune to any of the galactic empires willing to pay your price. Or, to put it another way, they're worth a LOT of points to towards your total score, provided you leave The Pit alive.
In the coming weeks we'll be expanding on this system, with more cool little twists, but for now you can challenge The Pit as normal and see your end-game stats laid out in the Scoring Screen, which has been given a huge overhaul.
Keep playing! Keep sending us your feedback - feedback is always a big part of these updates. And stay tuned for more cool stuff to come!
