- Winter Update - 21 December 2019
Hey everyone! For the end of the Year we have another smaller Update (before U25) celebrating the Launch in Asian regions, the Winter Sale and the Holidays! With the Launch in the Asian regions, we have added 3 thematically fitting weapons for everyone to enjoy. The best thing is that those are no rare weapons, spicing up the normal loot tables! - NEW Common Weapon: TYPE-89 ‘TOKKO’ The Type 89, kitted for law enforcement, is the first semi automatic assault rifle in the game and comes with a nonlethal attachment, granting a % chance to fire a rubber bullet, dealing heavy damage and stunning hit targets! As the grenade launcher is not limited to once per magazine as with the M16A4, you can have some lucky moments! - NEW Common Weapon: QBZ TYPE LAS The QBZ is a common semi automatic laser assault rifle that switches to higher burst amounts depending on weapon heat, and has a high powered…

Increases the difficulty of the first floor (or 10 Waves) significantly, but not the ones afterwards. If you have a lot of playtime and the early game does not pose a real challenge anymore, Lightning start will make things more fresh again!

- Synthetik: Arena is a free condensed take on an intense roguelike shooter - 21 January 2019
Narrowly missing my games-of-the-year shortlist, Synthetik: Legion Rising was one of my more pleasant surprises of 2018. A sci-fi roguelike shooter with an unusual focus on semi-realistic weapon handling. A bit like Nuclear Throne by way of Vanquish, it’s loud, fast, hard and great in co-op. Now you can try it free, as developers FlowFire Games have intriguingly made their wave-survival expansion – Synthetik: Arena – free and standalone. The dungeons may be gone, but the frantic combat and fumbling to reload mid-firefight are unchanged. Grab it here on Steam , and see the trailer below. (more…)
