New Items - Concept Art

Hello everyone,

As requested by the community, here are new items we are currently working on. One of the suggestions was that items that Insectoids can carry are more organic instead of normal gear like armor and swords.

We would also like to decrease the current stats of items and make the attributes more interesting. You could have passive and active item effects like cleave, lifesteal, hp regen or "cursed" items that have posivite and negative effects at the same time.

We would love to hear suggestions on what kind of new items you would like to see, both visually and how they affect the current game mechanics.


We are also developing new Insectoid unit upgrade from Legionnaire to "Rhino" This unit would act as a armored "tank" of the Insectoid army that has taunt.

Best of wishes
