https://store.steampowered.com/app/4267800/_/ Hello everyone! Xiao Mang here, saying hi to you all! We're thrilled to announce that: Bandit Simulator TD is officially set to launch on Steam on October 12, 2026! Compared to the demo version, we've made massive changes and will be adding plenty of new content and gameplay features! In this edition, we're covering a major rework: How You Recruit Characters. Character Recruitment Rebuilt from the Ground Up Previously, all Legendary (unique) characters were unlocked linearly through a tavern that opened up as you cleared stages. That progression felt too linear — it lacked randomness, surprise, and player freedom. Now, we've diversified the ways to obtain Legendary characters. Currently there are three methods: Tavern – Still recruits Legendary special characters, but only those of lower rarity. City Conquest – After capturing a city, you ca…

Compared to the demo version, we've made massive changes and will be adding plenty of new content and gameplay features! In this edition, we're covering a major rework: Stronghold Defense & City Walls. City Challenge Mode Overhauled One of the most common complaints from our previous playtest was: Enemies in the city wave challenge would circle around the map. When they wandered out of our defensive range, players were forced to drag their units into an awkward "chase" — which added unnecessary mental burden and tedious micro-management. It was genuinely frustrating! We've now reworked the City Challenge into a proper Siege Mode: Enemies now have actual siege capabilities. They will charge straight toward your strong…
