Hello, Animas!
Thank you for your continued passion and support for Gigantes Ex Machina.
The v0.2 update was carefully crafted based on the valuable feedback you've shared with us.
One of the most requested features—key binding customization—has finally been added. You can now freely assign keys for keyboard, mouse, and controller input via the system settings.
We've also rebalanced difficulty levels and weapon performance to deliver a more intuitive and well-rounded combat experience.
Newly unlocked regions, enhanced systems, and a wide range of balance adjustments are detailed below.
System & Feature Improvements
Key binding customization for keyboard, mouse, and controller is now available via system settings.
A new enemy visibility enhancement feature has been added, making it easier to locate enemies on the battlefield. This can be toggled in system settings.
The reward sequence for Story Missions and Arcade Mode has been updated.
Equipment traits in the hangar have been fully reworked for better customization.
Weapon trait customization is now available in the hangar.
Damage values below 1 are now displayed to one decimal place; values of 1 or higher are shown as whole numbers.
Resistance values are now displayed in the combat UI.
New Missions
Story missions in the newly unlocked regions Atlantis and Asgard are now partially available.
A new Ruins map has been added to Arcade Mode.
After completing regular missions, players can now challenge Assault Missions, featuring increased enemy numbers, faster reinforcements, and higher stats for a more intense experience.
Combat Mechanism Changes
Mission difficulty has been adjusted to be more accessible.
SN-04 Susanoo has received new attack and defense patterns.
AE-113 Aerial has received a new trait: Recon – Base Booster Regen +50%.
Weapon & Ability Adjustments
All primary weapons, secondary weapons, and abilities have been buffed to be more effective at lower levels.
The charge attack range of the Railgun has been increased.
Movement penalties during Railgun charge attempts have been reduced.
When AG-52B Argus enters Howitzer Mode, it gains Super Armor, taking damage but becoming immune to status effects.
Item Changes
Auxiliary Tank has been removed and reworked into the Ion Thruster.
Ion Thruster: Enhances booster capacity, reduces energy consumption, and boosts afterburner speed.
Sync Stabilizer: Sync rate now increases by 10% per level.
Rapid Cooling System: Rapidly cools the booster to reduce Quick Boost cost, and recharges faster when booster capacity is below 25%.
New Modules
Heat Pipe: Reduces Booster energy consumption by optimizing thermal transfer efficiency.
Compressed Fuel Cell: Uses high-pressure compressed fuel to efficiently reduce energy consumption during Quick Boost activation.
Graphene Armor: Enhances armor durability and slows damage from repeated impacts.
Bug Fixes
Fixed an issue where the Sync Stabilizer's EXP bonus was not functioning.
Fixed a bug where Auto Turrets failed to aim vertically, making it difficult to hit low-flying drones at close range.
Fixed an issue where the ECM Jammer was being displaced by AG-52B Argus’ Ram attack.
Resolved a bug where the camera angle failed to reset when starting a new mission immediately after completing one.
Fixed a display issue in the hangar where weapon stat graphs did not update correctly after switching primary weapons.
You can continue playing with existing save files, but due to changes in reward sequences and new features, some sections may not function as intended.
For best results, we recommend starting with a new save file.
