It's the Final Countdown...

Stand by for action, brave commanders!
Here at Thunderbox HQ we're getting ready for our final crew update, and it's a good one...

This update will finally max out the crew roster (to 18), and adds numerous enhancements.

Joining the existing crew are The First Officer and Janitor - bringing totally new strategies to the game with their unique set of abilities...

L O G I C A L


The deceased captain's Number One brings a distinct tactical advantage to your crew, with his mastery of Battle Plans. Able to draw these game-changing cards more efficiently than other crew members, the First Officer can be powered up to select any plan he chooses... particularly handy when the dilithium hits the fan.

I M M A C U L A T E


If you like the floors on your spaceship to sparkle like a crystalline entity, then the Janitor's your man! He may like to think of himself as the sheriff, but his improvisational know-how lets him use Action points as wild Skills, enabling him to repair pretty much anything, anytime, anywhere!

E N H A N C E D


And new crew isn't the only torpedo in our tube - we're busy adding a ton of enhancements, including...

  • Improved Tactical HUD
  • WASD scrolling
  • Crewman loadout selection
  • Maximum crew to 7
  • Steam leaderboards
  • And more!

S E C R E T S


We also have a biiiiiiig secret about one of the final two characters, that we're not quite ready to share just yet. If you want to find out what it is, head on over to Discord to join the final round of beta testing. All we can say for now is that we've had to take the nuclear option...
