| Strike Force Heroes Huge XP Update + Survey | 2023-11-27 | Thank you all for actively providing feedback on the game since its release. We're hard at work updating the game and are rolling out the biggest change yet! The XP system has been significantly altered to allow lower level players the ability to level up much faster against higher level enemies in addition to teammates sharing a portion of XP from kills. We know that a number of players have expressed concerns about the game's difficulty being too high and so we have altered the difficulty of some of the maps, added some much needed ammo and health pickups, and enhanced the XP given from certain enemies. In addition to that, we have created |

So, it turns out all of the enemy stats were locked at level 30, so now they'll hit much harder at higher levels. I've also spent the last few days converting the game's code to make it more secure.

They now properly scale hard above 30. Harder boss should now be much harder. Gameplay - Fixed shield weapons getting stuck if blocking right as the rel |
