Hadean Tactics News

-- Fixed not being able to buy stuff for your hero on the Crypt.
-- Fixed best time leaderboard display.

[h2]Hello everyone![/h2]

We are thrilled to announce that controller support is now available for all Hadean Tactics players! This has been a very big task that required a deep dive into the game's infrastructure. After a lot of refinements, we're finally ready to roll it out for everyone.

This update also brings the Compendium rework - every unit in Hadean Tactics now has its very own file in the Ethernal Records. Unlock the entries as you play and uncover more about the units that shape your journey.

[h2]What's next?[/h2]

We've also been working on the final 1.0 update behind the scenes - this upcoming release will feature the final boss battle, and the ending of the game. In the meantime, over the next few weeks, we'll post a few more updates as we continue to enhance the Hadean Tactics experience. We're bringing official localization to Simplified Chinese and Brazilian Portuguese (more languages to come in the future), and working towards Steam Deck verification, among other improvements.

[h2]Timeline[/h2]

We are aiming to release the 1.0 update by the end of this month, if not next month. We'll keep you posted on our progress, so stay tuned!

Finally, if you find any bugs or have any feedback or suggestions, you can post them here on our Steam community, or reach out to us directly on our Discord.

As always, we truly appreciate your support and patience throughout this journey. Your feedback and understanding fuel our efforts, and we couldn't do it without you!

Until next time! Stay awesome!!

Cheers,
Doug and Lili @ Emberfish Games

[h2]Hello everyone![/h2]
Happy Summer!

We've just put version 0.6 up on the beta branch! The most significant feature of this update is the controller support. Implementing this has been a big challenge, but we're thrilled to say that it's finally ready for testing!

Right now this update is very fresh so you may encounter some roughness and bugs, but we'll work on it together over the next few weeks to polish and fine-tune it.

This is part of our bigger 1.0 update, which beyond having a lot of polish, QOL, and balancing, will also feature the true final battle and ending of the game. We'll be adding these to the beta over the next couple of months.

[h2]How to access the beta[/h2]
Switch to the beta branch on the game's properties on Steam.



The game should update automatically to the beta branch.

You can report bugs and give us suggestions here on the Steam community, or on our Discord.

[h2]Sale and price[/h2]
In more news, we are extending our current 25% sale into the Steam Summer Sale. This means you have until July 13th to grab Hadean Tactics at this price. If you've been considering diving into the game, now is the perfect moment!

Lastly, as we mentioned before, after the sale the price of Hadean Tactics will increase from $17.99 to $19.99. This reflects the amount of content and improvements we've added since the start of Early Access in 2021, which includes 2 new Heroes + 6 variants, 30 new draftable units, 211 new cards, 5 new Bosses, custom Heroes and custom Decks, Weekly Heroes, and more. This adjustment will take effect the day after the sale ends, and will be the final price for the game.

As always, we deeply appreciate your support, patience, and feedback. Thanks for being part of our journey!
You guys are the best!

Hello everyone!

We hope you've been enjoying your time with Hadean Tactics! Just wanted to say hi and provide an update on what's been keeping us busy lately.

Firstly, we have been working on the controller support and console port. It's been a challenging process and has required a great deal of our time and attention. Good news is we're approaching the final stages for the controller support and soon it will be available on the beta branch. We will share another announcement here as soon as it's up.





We've also been preparing the game's texts for translation. As said before, we will initially be localizing to Simplified Chinese, German, and Brazilian Portuguese, and we plan to gradually add more languages as time goes on.

We also want to give you a heads up that the price of Hadean Tactics will be increasing soon, before the 1.0 release. We've added a ton of content and value since the beginning of Early Access, so we believe the new price will reflect that.

Last but not least - from May 14th until May 21st, you can grab Hadean Tactics at a 25% discount. This is a great opportunity to dive into the game if you haven't already.

As a reminder, if you want to get the most immediate news and updates from us, you can join our Discord. We have an amazing group of players there who share strategies, discuss updates, and help the game grow.

Thank you all for your continued support and patience. We're very excited to show you what's coming with the 1.0!

Cheers,
Doug and Lili @ Emberfish Games
