Announcing the biggest mega-patch yet for Mech Shuffle! I have been hard at work adding new content, fixing bugs, and working on accessibility. Here are some of the things you can expect to see on November 25th:
- Updated Sprites for mechs and terrain
- New Assault Class mech
- New match rewards (events, lore, mech labs)
- 50 New Cards (now at 150+ cards)
- New Token types (fortify armour)
- Improved accessibility
- And tons more!
New Assault Mech: MANTIS
The MANTIS is an imposing foe to face on the battlefield, and you can unlock it as a new playable mech. Like any Assault Mech, the MANTIS is a bastion of self defence, and a true weapons platform which can make excellent use of any weapon system:
New Match Rewards
Choosing your path through the battlefield is going to be even more impactful than before. Asides from the usual end of match salvage rewards, you will often have the choice between additional rewards:
- A random event (high risk, high reward!)
- A Battlefield Mech Bay (UPGRADE CARDS!)
- A Mech Manufactory Bay (DUPLICATE CARDS!)
- A Battlefield Refit Bay (REMOVE CARDS!)
New Cards
A large number of new cards are being added to the game, bringing us up to the 150+ cards mark. There are new Pilot Skill cards, new weapons, new system cards, and a lot more to discover. Some new cards are only available through encountering events!
New Token: Fortify Armour
Fortify Armour allows you to double the effectiveness of an armour token, so that it can absorb an additional point of damage before being destroyed. Beware though, this is not a repair. You won't be able to fortify an armour point if it has already been destroyed!
Accessibility Improvements
We've increased the font sizes throughout the game, to improve readability and accessibility. As well, Mech Shuffle requires colour matching to play properly, so it was important to add an accessibility option for people with colour vision deficiency. If you find yourself having difficulty distinguishing the different token damage types, give the new palette a try.
