The new story mode comes in two difficulty modes:Easy: You just play and chill, if you lose you can always repeat the fight againIronman: Works like the regular mode, if you die you lose.

- Impact Update - 16 April 2025
Hello Pilots! The 'Impact Update' is now live! Once you finish the game in regular mode the Impact mode is unlocked and offers a bigger challenge with harder enemies and a total of 5 Acts for each run. There are 12 Impact levels at the moment with increasing difficulty for each one. For each level the enemies can gain additional energy, number of moves, or even an extra enemy spawn on each fight. The cost of repairs and max HP upgrades are also increased. Since we are still testing things out, these will probably change drastically in the coming weeks as we balance things out. Once we have a more final difficulty curve we will detail all the changes for each impact level. Let us know in the steam forums if you find any issue or difficulty is too high or low. In the next few weeks we will push new balances, new ui improvements and there are a couple of new bosses that will be added to th…

- Ophanim Update is now Live! - 6 March 2025
Hello pilots! With this update we are adding a new boss, enemies and a new card and some balance changes. There will also be more regular updates later this month with more bosses and other improvements. New boss Ophanim added to Act I Added new versions of some elite enemies like Turiel and Adriel. Now regular enemies only do one action per turn, so it’s more clear what enemies will do next turn. For elite or bosses there can still be more than one attack per turn and we added some UI changes to make it more clear, but more improvements will be done soon. Added new card, Cascading Resonance. Be careful because in certain maps, a badly placed attack with this card can destroy most of the city. Just make sure people have evacuated safely! Berserk mode has been buffed, now giving +10HP and more battery. We will continue to make some changes on how enemy intents work. This current version…
