Strike Force Heroes News

Hey heroes!
After a long process of upgrading & fixing & upgrading & fixing the game for console development, we've finally got it back to a stable state for more updates!

This update fixes a few more smaller issues, as well as removing the server browser which just gave wrong impressions to many people.

v1.29
[h3]Changes[/h3]
Strike Force Heroes is and always was; a story-based game intended to be enjoyed solo or with friends. As all playerbases naturally decline, we've decided to remove the server browser. It just feels bad when not many games are available, and sometimes does more harm than good.
- Online server browser removed.
(But party codes can still be used with as many people as you like)

[h3]Fixes[/h3]
- Players who experienced Outfit issues with the Ninja DLC should now find it working properly.
- Daily mission no longer shows incorrect text during the pause menu.
- Custom games no longer show bonus objectives on the pause menu.
- Custom games no longer display star ratings in the post-game screen



Anyway, enough patch notes -- time for some ol' fasioned GlobeX slayin!

Hey heroes!
After some traumatic personal events, I've taken a step away from online development for a while, and thus was not aware of this bug until recently, nor able to fix it until now.

This small update fixes a bug where specific Story/Cameo characters no longer have their unique loadouts.

v1.27
- Fixed a longstanding bug where the story Heroes have randomized costumes and weapons
- Fixed a longstanding bug where the story Heroes ignore the first weapon in gungame

Edit:
v1.28
- Fixed an issue caused by v1.27 where bots did not appear in custom games
(they were looking for their story loadouts, which didn't exist)

Hey heroes!
After it's been a hot minute (1 month!) but we've noticed a number of serious bugs in the game that were introduced in the Ninja DLC. So we're put together a mega update with not only a ton of serious bug fixes, but also a number of huge balance changes to bonus objectives, missions and overall gameplay!

This update should make the overall experience feel much smoother, and less unfairly difficult at times.

Just a small update here to fix a few issues with the Ninja DLC release

v1.25
[h3]Fixes[/h3]
- Ninja "Blazing Hot" feat no longer fails to give the Outfit
- Ninja Exp popup's img & text now more similar to the other heroes
- Ninja's icon now shown on shops and item hovers, displaying if he/she can use the item
- M202 can no longer be reloaded instantly be swapping weapons
- Sawed Off + Legionary Shield no longer displays with strange colors.
- Throwables can no longer gain "+Spare ammo" mods

[h3]Balance[/h3]
The double throwing weapons were a bit too strong, particularly with the Ninja's secret weapon. Being able to clear the entire map every few seconds was definitely not something we planned for lol.

- Ninja's Resourceful: 2x throwable Ammo > 1.5x throwable ammo (rounded down)
- ICBM Impact 122 > 110
- ICBM no longer gains ammo from pickups, is now limited to 1 per life
