Mech Armada News

Hi Everyone!

If you haven't noticed, Mech Armada is part of the Going Rogue event. What does this mean? Well, it's your opportunity to grab Mech Armada with 20% off, while checking out a load of other awesome roguelite and roguelikes.

Set to run until May 9, it gives you plenty of time to grab my game before the discount ends and with a huge update having only just dropped, there's never been a better time to dive in.

As always, a heartfelt thank you for supporting me and those who continue to leave brilliant reviews.

Hi Everyone,

This will be our latest 0.X update. The next one will be 1.0 and I couldn't be more excited about what's coming on that one.

But for now, 0.13 is also looking pretty sweet.


One idea I've had for a while to encourage you to try new parts is to bonus a different part each day. So now, when you come to the game you'll see the Daily Part in the main menu and you can then start a new run with it (if you haven't unlocked it yet, you'll have to play some more battles first).



I tried to make the bonuses meaningful without being game breaking. Let me know how I did!


I wanted to add a new batch of parts before full release. Most of the parts so far have centered around weapons and torsos, but there was one transport part that I knew would end up in the game.

[h2]Jetpack[/h2]
It's finally here! While slow to walk around, the Jetpack provides a versatile jump that can clear obstacles and units, providing great maneuverability. While also looking stylish.



[h2]Smoke Grenade[/h2]
Don't you hate that the Swarm have both high mobility and long range? Then you need to cloud their vision and strike them from where they can't reach you.



[h2]Big Rocket[/h2]
You know what's better than a regular-size missile? A BIG ROCKET. These babies do the most damage out of any weapon in the game (without buffs) - but they're limited.




This is it for now, because I've been saving the majority of the work I've done over the last few weeks for 1.0. I'll be announcing the date pretty soon.

The more eagled-eye among you will notice I've removed the Feedback button from the main menu. That doesn't mean I don't want any more feedback, if you have any (and I'm sure you do) I'm always available on our Discord and I personally respond to every message.

Next on Mech Armada: the full release announcement. It's going to happen before you know it. Stay tuned.

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to give you an update and talk about some important news. Make sure you read until the end!


First, good news! Mech Armada will be featured in Steam's Daily Deal on Tuesday, March 29th. The sale will start at 10:00am PT, and will last until March 31st at the same time.


After 11 significant updates, we're closer than ever to full release. In fact, the game is still on track to reach 1.0 before this summer - that's coming up!

The main area that I'll save until 1.0 is a proper ending for the campaign. Spoilers ahead if you haven't finished a run. but while currently you get reset by the fog, in 1.0 after beating the Demon you'll unlock another chapter in the campaign that will get you closer to the final goal of defeating the Swarm.
I'm not going to say any more for now...

But I can show a sneak peek of one of the two new environments that we've been working on. The downtown map is in fact looking so good that I'm going to use it for the first environment in the game. Here are some (work in progress) pictures:




I can't emphasize this enough, but you should get Mech Armada during the upcoming Daily Deal if you can, because after that I'm going to slightly increase the price of the game, so this is the cheaper Mech Armada is going to be for a while.

The price will go up from $14.99 USD to $19.99 USD (local conversion will vary).

I've been working full time on this game now for two and a half years and added a ton of stuff since the Early Access release last August. Increasing the price is necessary to keep the studio afloat.


As the Early Access chapter nears completion, I can't help but marvel at the incredible amount of feedback and support I've received from you during this journey. There is no doubt in my mind that Mech Armada never would have reached the current quality level without all your help.

A heartfelt thank you for supporting me.
