Director’s Message: Toward the Full Release

Thank you to everyone who played the demo of Steel Knight's ARMIS during the event. On behalf of the development team, I’d like to sincerely express our gratitude.
We’ve been working on improvements and further development based on all the feedback we received from players during the demo event.



[h2]Key Updates[/h2]

[h3] Increased Game Speed[/h3]
During the demo, many players commented that the game felt a bit slow.
To address this, we’ve carefully adjusted the in-game speed to better match market standards and player expectations.
We’ve also rebalanced the pacing of battles and movement.

[h3] Implementation of Emergency Evacuation System[/h3]
In the previous demo, we focused heavily on maintaining dramatic tension by avoiding easy escapes during battle. However, this often resulted in frustration when players got stuck.
To improve the experience, we’ve now added an “Emergency Evacuation Device” .
While you’ll still need to discover these devices during gameplay, they offer a last resort if you’re overwhelmed in combat.

[h3]Enhanced Drama[/h3]
One of our top priorities for Steel Knight's ARMIS is its dramatic storytelling. Many players praised this aspect in their feedback.
As such, we’ve increased the frequency of character cut-ins and other dramatic elements to not only heighten tension, but also to deepen the personalities and relationships of the characters.

[h3]More Skills[/h3]
Skills are a vital component of gameplay in roguelike action titles.
We’ve significantly increased the variety of skills available, including new additions that allow for deeper combinations and strategies.
Players can now build more diverse attack and defense styles by combining character modules with optional equipment.



That’s all for now!

We appreciate your continued support and hope you’re excited for the full release of Steel Knight's ARMIS!

🚀 New Feature: Inertia-Control Maneuver “Oracle Shift” Implemented! 🎮

To all our fellow rebels,

First off, a huge thank you to everyone who played the demo! Your feedback has been invaluable, and we truly appreciate all the thoughts and suggestions you’ve shared with us. ːsteamthumbsupː

After carefully reviewing your feedback, we’ve temporarily taken down the demo to make improvements and bring you an even better gameplay experience. And today, we’re excited to introduce a brand-new feature based on your input!


[h3]🔥 New Feature: “Oracle Shift” Inertia-Control Maneuver[/h3]

We’ve added a powerful new maneuver to all rebel mechs! With Oracle Shift, you can instantly fire your thrusters for a high-speed evasive move. Each mech has slightly different performance, but all you need to do is press a button to activate it instantly.

It’s especially useful when you’re surrounded by enemy ARMIS or need to dodge incoming fire!



[h3]⚔️ Combo with Melee Attacks![/h3]

Oracle Shift isn’t just for dodging—it also pairs with Melee Attack “Vartia”, evolving into Mobile Attack “Vartia Shift”! This lets you cut through enemies while dashing, making it perfect for wiping out those pesky Imperial grunts.





Our development team is working hard to bring you even more exciting gameplay mechanics, and we can’t wait to share an even better version of the demo with you soon!

See you on the battlefield! 🚀🔥
