Unknowingly it has been two months since the first release, I’ve spent more time on it than expected, and made various improvements in almost every aspect.

Battle Talent is designed to expand the boundaries of VR action genre and bringing it to as many VR players as possible. And now we have 13 languages support, thanks to all the translators! And we will submit to AppLab later.

The biggest change in this update is the dungeon part. In order to make the adventure more interesting, dynamic enemies, parkour and climbing have been added experimentally. I hope to hear your feedback soon.

In addition, there are a lot of details that have been improved in the combat system, which I won’t list them all here, please checkout the change log. Cool cinematic combat scene is the pursuit of Battle Talent, and hopefully this update will be a step closer to that goal.

Thank you!
