We have received a lot of constructive feedback along with congratulations and words of encouragement. Thanks to your amazing activity we have already managed to squash some nasty bugs that have been reported by you!
In this first community patch, we managed to squash some bugs and improve things in cutscenes, SFX/Audio, and UX/UI along with other fixes and implementation of new features. See the full list of updates here:
New Features
- Added difficulty options when starting a new campaign
- 3 difficulty options: Easy, Normal, Hard
- Added an Ironman mode option when starting a new campaign
- In Ironman mode you only have one autosave slot
- Added a Hardcore mode option when starting a new campaign
- In Hardcore mode allied characters don't go into downed state when their Health reaches 0 but die instantly
- Added Overwatch ability for Igor the Coachman
Cutscenes
- Updated visuals for most cutscenes
- Updated audio for cutscenes
- Updated subtitles for cutscenes
- Updated subtitles for level intros
SFX/Audio

UX/UI
- Added confirmation popups to Restart Mission and Exit to Menu
- Added a warning screen on trying to start a mission without maximum characters selected in party selection
- Changed the character level icon background to yellow, for it to be more easily distinguished from Action Points icon
Fixes
- Replaced the generic Unreal Engine application icon with our custom BEAST one
- Fixed an issue with Health bars not showing for all characters targeted by area of effect abilities
- Fixed an issue with the player not being able to close Options or Load Game menus while in Pause Menu
- Fixed a potential issue with Overwatch being triggered by characters behind the attacker (outside of the visible cone)
- Fixed a potential issue with VFX not being displayed when applying various bonuses to characters via abilities
When starting a new campaign you can now select between 3 difficulty options: Easy, Normal, Hard and even Ironman mode.
In Ironman mode you only have one autosave slot so take great care or you'll need a new keyboard in no time 😉
In Hardcore mode allied characters don't go into the downed state when their Health reaches 0 but they die instantly instead.
Once again we thank you for embarking on this fantastic adventure with us and for being such amazing players!
