The TALES OF DESTRUCTION update is now out!
This update brings plenty of new content, so let me highlight the major features :)
A high score and rank system have been implemented on each map as well as an overall Story, rank and high score. Learn and earn the score multipliers to go from NOVICE to the rank LORD OF TOOLS.
TALES: A new game mode has come with its first level, Distribution Hub. Experience RETOOLED turn up to 11. :)
Weapon alt fire: Each weapon has received an alternative fire option. Expanding the way you wreck your enemies. With weapon alt fires, new weapon combos have appeared as well as a new crosshair system that will more efficiently display weapon information.
It has been a lot work getting this update ready for release, and I hope you all like it! The full patch notes are below.
As a final note, I just wanted to say thank you all taking a chance on RETOOLED and looking forward I am really excited about what is coming up next for RETOOLED. Update Master Of Destruction is now estimated for late Q3 or early Q4 2024.
Have a great week everyone!
