This is huge! Thank you so much for the update. I still hope this game to be one of many successful game on Steam so you guys can keep cooking and create many other cool feature/game
A very welcome change to the gameplay. Really hope this makes the staying power of the game much better. What I would like to see in future updates is the following 1. Pilot Skills - From what I've heard this was planned initally but then dropped. Hope to see this return. 2. Mod Support - I really think adding mod support and tools would help the longevity and interest in the game. 3. Story - Right now the game practically has no story. And honestly, without one the game will still get pretty repetitive after the first couple of provinces. This is actually the big reason I ended up dropping the game relatively quickly once I realized that there was no story after the prologue.
The game could do with no boss battles. A plot (other than good Blue guys fighting vs evil Red guys) with some better variety of events would have been critical, closely followed by pilot progression system (which was arguably easier to implement from technical side than any other feature, at least in its barebones version). But alas. Because there is no plot, there is no reason to care for what we're fighting for. Because pilots are nearly identical and don't follow a path with you, you have no reason to care for them.
I hope you can add a bit more lore and name these bosses as "Governers" or "Regional administrators. Really love the game, but it could use some "Worldbuilding". Different regions having different resources/bonuses, Pilots getting XP and abilities, Injuries/recovery etc... I hope you can keep up the pace and keep adding to the game!
I'd love to see the ability to break water towers/dams to flood regions of the map. Not like a physics simulation, moreso in the same vein of turret generators where building x% destroyed would cause Y region of the map to fill with water. This could add a dimension of player agency (aka fun) to maps themselves. Further, maybe make a deep water terrain that would either drown or disable most mech weapons, pacific rim style (I coulda saved cherno frfr). Thank you for not giving up on this beauty of a game
Absolutely massive. Does the improved weapon prediction also show the swing of a melee weapon yet? I wanted that for so long and was quite sad when energy waves were added instead of a proper swing prediction.
Its awesome that you are supporting your game with free post launch features but is it wise? would it not be better to work on a sequel? you know, go big or go home as they say.
I'll just be here waiting patiently for controller support... won't be getting a purchase from me until I can play this comfortably on my Legion Go. And I'm sure many Steam Deck users also feel the same way.
i feel like 1.3 should be focused on adding veriety to player play styles. more weapons. abilities. ect. i wouldnt mind being able to use regular tanks. or since there are now drones maybe a gunship
A lot of the complaints I have with the game could've been ammended with admiting it was still in early access, only sort of 60-70% complete. Not to bog you down with even more crap, a custom paint scheme selector would be nice as I have to use mods to add some more variety to the schemes
hire a writer or something for the plot. Personally I want this game to be like Code Geass rebellion type game with a Manipulator character. Or be like Gundam with different pilot archetypes. Cut the segments of the game with story missions. Story is super important and pilot personalities. Its how fire emblem became successful.
I am not sure that 'boss fights' are the way to go. It makes the whole game, nothing more than a "level by level game". Whereas it always had the option to become a thrilling story of rebels and renegades fighting for freedom. Nonetheless I stopped playing after reaching the "capital" and finding that it was practically impossible to win. I am sure that I could have done, if I had spent the time figuring out the tweaks etc. Min-maxing everything. But that is the point. It is just a min-maxing exercise. I bought the game initially because it promised a story. That seems to have been lost.
With the new mission types,are we going to get a way to save/load mech loadouts? Keeping a separate mech is pointless when you can manually refit an existing one,to not have to pay for an additional frame,storage and parts. For example I'd like to refit my sniper mech to a missile launcher one for demolition missions
Im waiting for new mech frames to make more types of troops. Imagine Centaur frame that has a lot of power and can hold heavy weapon with ease but it spent double time turning around
The boss needs to be a lot smarter, also you need to give some edge to the hostile force, some kind of disruption in the player ability of seeing the future, or deviating future maybe.

Does PB run well on deck? That's really all that is blocking me from getting it. The demo runs terribly, but it might not be maintained.
Yeah couldn't run this at a decent framerate at all on my old laptop even with settings turned down. Wasn't until after I got a desktop that I could actually run the game with all settings turned up and it's quite nice to look at especially at 165hz
This game is such a gem, i'd go as far as calling it a genre starter...it is like (lite) X-Com but...not. I just can't fathom how the mainstream or even indie people aren't showcasing this gem more. Such a unique twist to tactical combat.
The game has a fantastic team and idea behind it, but is missing critical components. Because there is no plot, there is no reason to care for what we're fighting for. Because pilots are nearly identical and don't follow a path with you, you have no reason to care for them. So it's difficult to get people to get interested for the sake of pure gameplay and nothing else. Right now the game is still in "has huge potential" stage.
How's the mod integration support coming? I remember back in 2023, it was a huge feature promised, but I still don't see any kind of workshop integration or easy mod access. I might have missed things, I suppose.
Been waiting for this for a hot minute. I finished my first provincial boss last night and I love this update so much. A lot of encounters feel much more tense and lethal whereas before I would just breeze through them. The boss fight had me on the verge of ejecting and retreating a few times. Can't wait to see how the rest of the game pans out. I hope we get more and more weapons/armor in the future; I love comparing stat numbers on my LMGs before deciding to go with the uncommon Torrent anyway cause it's lucky
As someone who completed the campaign mode in early access, this looks great. Seems like there's finally enough new content for me to give this game a full run.
This is huge! Thank you so much for the update. I still hope this game to be one of many successful game on Steam so you guys can keep cooking and create many other cool feature/game
thank you! we want to keep cooking as long as we can :)
Hoping 1.3 brings pilot skills. Was really bummed to see that part dropped.
Pilot skills and mod support would really make this game shine.
I want noob pilot with +50% aim deviation 😭

Excited to find a reason to come back and play this.
Boss battles were needed for 1.0, Be nice to see some wondering mini-boss patrols in the future

This is a great addition but where is the full battle replay feature almost every player wants. WE WANT TO SEE THE WHOLE FIGHT!
In epic slomo😊
Ooohhh really didn't expect the boss battle. Really happy this game keeps getting better and better.
Thanks for the update! Mission variety does a lot for the game. I've completed the game a couple of times now, can't wait to do another run!
I'm here for it. PB 2 would be sick with some Kaiju and Alien stuff
You are asking for more enemies even when we don't know the actual name of "ThE eNeMy"?
Glad to see this very unique, fun & cool game is still getting some love.
I hope you can add a bit more lore and name these bosses as "Governers" or "Regional administrators.
Really love the game, but it could use some "Worldbuilding". Different regions having different resources/bonuses, Pilots getting XP and abilities, Injuries/recovery etc...
I hope you can keep up the pace and keep adding to the game!
Oh that boss battle looks great, might be time to dive back in soon!

awesome. thanks for all of your hard work, can't wait to see what you create next :-)
YAAAAAAY this game is not dead! Thanks for the update! Imma try it now!
Crazy update and time for review updates soon.
You made me start a new campaign. you bastards.👍
Looks like another solid update!
Nice, time to dive back in!
iam suprised that you drop an update pls hold this game alive
Great update! Keep up the awesome work.
great game! dont give up on it, devs!
Its awesome that you are supporting your game with free post launch features but is it wise? would it not be better to work on a sequel? you know, go big or go home as they say.
I'll just be here waiting patiently for controller support... won't be getting a purchase from me until I can play this comfortably on my Legion Go. And I'm sure many Steam Deck users also feel the same way.
Any shot of improving steam deck support?
Woooow that's fucking cool!! I may need to come back to this game soon...
Will 1.3 have gamepad support?? please? I'd love to play this on my steamdeck
I love this game I love this game I just love this game
i feel like 1.3 should be focused on adding veriety to player play styles. more weapons. abilities. ect. i wouldnt mind being able to use regular tanks. or since there are now drones maybe a gunship
So this is why my team was wiped
Nice
A lot of the complaints I have with the game could've been ammended with admiting it was still in early access, only sort of 60-70% complete.
Not to bog you down with even more crap, a custom paint scheme selector would be nice as I have to use mods to add some more variety to the schemes
Awesome.
If only maps would be proceduraly generated.
Xbox controller suport?
Front mission modern version
: )
hire a writer or something for the plot. Personally I want this game to be like Code Geass rebellion type game with a Manipulator character. Or be like Gundam with different pilot archetypes.

This is MASSIVE! Oh my gosh, my favorite mech game just got way better! I have to check this out ASAP!
With the new mission types,are we going to get a way to save/load mech loadouts? Keeping a separate mech is pointless when you can manually refit an existing one,to not have to pay for an additional frame,storage and parts. For example I'd like to refit my sniper mech to a missile launcher one for demolition missions
Im waiting for new mech frames to make more types of troops. Imagine Centaur frame that has a lot of power and can hold heavy weapon with ease but it spent double time turning around
Side missions are still buggy, can't complete most side quests involving caches, fix it pls!
The boss needs to be a lot smarter, also you need to give some edge to the hostile force, some kind of disruption in the player ability of seeing the future, or deviating future maybe.
Does PB run well on deck? That's really all that is blocking me from getting it. The demo runs terribly, but it might not be maintained.
It's a very CPU heavy game. You can always buy it and refund it to try on the deck
Yeah couldn't run this at a decent framerate at all on my old laptop even with settings turned down. Wasn't until after I got a desktop that I could actually run the game with all settings turned up and it's quite nice to look at especially at 165hz
add mod support so people can add skills and story shit...
This game is such a gem, i'd go as far as calling it a genre starter...it is like (lite) X-Com but...not. I just can't fathom how the mainstream or even indie people aren't showcasing this gem more. Such a unique twist to tactical combat.

So it's difficult to get people to get interested for the sake of pure gameplay and nothing else. Right now the game is still in "has huge potential" stage.
Keep up the great work, this game has massive potential that just waits to be unveiled!
this is so nice.👍
i love this game.👍

Hellyeah! Glad to see those improvements, this is one of the best mecha strategy games out there!
As someone who completed the campaign mode in early access, this looks great. Seems like there's finally enough new content for me to give this game a full run.
Update 1.2 is awesome! Boss battles are incredible! I cannot wait 1.3 update!
Great news, love to see it that you folks are still in on the game. Will jump back on and see how its going. Keep at it!!
So glad you didn't abandon this, seriously, there's a great start with this game...
I need to get back to learning this game. Rough, but very interesting gameplay.
Very pleasantly surprised to see more being added to this. Great game.
This looks amazing starting a new game as we speak!!!!!!
Thank you, i love this game soo much.
Great to see you guys back with a vengeance!
Finally some variety
