Complete Control

CHAMPIONS!

In preparation for THE BLACK LABYRINTH and the upcoming console ports of AMID EVIL, we've released a long overdue controller overhaul and reworked all the menu code in the game!

What does that mean? Well, all the game menus are now 100% controller compatible (no more mouse cursor) and we've also finally been STEAM DECK VERIFIED.


[h3]And YES that's a brand new WEAPON WHEEL you see.[/h3]



It works with both controller (Hold RB) and KB + M (Hold Q) - try it out!

  • [h3]There's also a new auto-switch weapon pickup option

    A new and improved key bindings menu

    And we finally overhauled (basically re-wrote) the CODEX!
    (ENJOY THE LORE)[/h3]
  • [h3]Volumetric fog has been optimized, so you should get quite a few
    extra frames in maps that use it.

  • Keys have VFX to help them stand out a bit more now.

  • And the AEWARLOCK cheat now adds mana.[/h3]

[[ Plus also lots of other behind-the-scenes stuff in preparation for The Black Labyrinth launch ]]



[h3]Speaking of THE BLACK LABYRINTH...[/h3]
[h3]We hope you saw our latest gameplay video:[/h3]

Which we can now confirm will launch as a standalone app on Steam that will support nearly every VR headset on the market.
