- More detailed view on Ignited Steel: Uprising 1.1 - 18 October 2022
We are getting good feedback from players and we wanted to share with this new update a more detailed view on what this new patch brings to the table! As some of you may already know, the 1.1 Uprising update comes with the new Ignited Steel: Prologue, which will replace the free demo from this day. The prologue is a free trial version that fulfills the same function as the demo, giving the player a taste of what he may find in Ignited Steel. This new prologue is longer than the original demo and dives deeper into the lore and history of Ignited Steel, so that experienced players can also enjoy it. As I was saying, the Ignited Steel demo will be deactivated today and the prologue will become the free trial version for everyone. This Ignited Steel 1.1 update brings new content for all players: - New characters for your squad, with brand new abilities and that become part of the game's sto…

Weekend patch with several of your suggestions, a few bug fixes and stability improvements, some quality-of-life enhancements, and balancing. Thanks for playing the game! Expect more improvements in a few more patches next week. Especially balance-wise. We are preparing a batch of changes that will make the game a little harder, but also a little bit more fair. We are aiming for the game to be a bit more demanding at the baseline, and at the same time polishing off some of the difficulty highs and lows, as we feel it's a little too "spiky" right now. Anyways, please keep those suggestions coming. Some of you will recognize changes in this patch that you have proposed yourself! Time for a good weekend's rest! Boy do we need it.

- We are on beta-testing! - 9 February 2022
Hey! Welcome! As previously said, the Ignited Steel launching is coming and we are already on beta-testing! Yokaicade also trusted us on the organization of this process as publishers. We recruited a group of 15 volunteers to help us balance, fix and add things with their feedback before the launch! We cannot specify a date in case we are forced to delay it, but what we do can say is that a few of the Yokaicade devs will be streaming Ignited Steel on the Steam Next Fest. It will take part on Feb 21 - 28 and they will release a free demo available for everybody! We also want to mention that we changed the name of the game for this final and intensive marketing process before launching! We went from “Ignited Steel: MECHA TBT” to “Ignited Steel: MECH TACTICS”. Ignited Steel is planned to be a pure tactics game with roguelike elements, such as mechas customization and events along your way.…
- Ignited Steel dev-log - 21 January 2022
Hello everyone! The Ignited Steel launch is coming up and although we wont confirm a release date (but really really soon) we are here to talk about the game’s development. YokaiCade’s team has made great progress both with the narrative as well as the gameplay. In its current state, Ignited Steel has a completely developed campaign even with its final bosses! One of the latest features that Yokaicade introduced on the game is the camera rotation which allows you to guide yourself through the battle and observe from every angle how your mechas destroy the enemy units. This was something we created after receiving feedback from people close to us who had played the game as well as the fast forward buttons for enemy turns. We have improved the playstyle of the game, adding a big amount of different kinds of weapons that combined with the overheating mechanic give variability and replayabi…
