It's a time for love and giving, so give them hell in the Newly inaugurated Infinity Tower. What goes on in there, anyway? Nobody knows! How tall is it? It's still mystery ... The real question is How high can YOU go? Quick points: - This is a one-way raid and there's no return. The only way is UP. - You're cutoff from supplies so enemy kills don't give Strategic Points. - Every five floors there should be a bunch of hostages to rescue. Higher up they become scarcer so spend those points wisely. - We've also |
| Workshop and Modding Improvements | 2018-11-22 | Yesterday's update adds a bit of "behind the scenes" changes to the game and allows you to create, upload or enjoy mods of all types, not just levels as we've had until now. For example, here's a mod that changes the in-game HUD character portraits: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1570225144 https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/30444167/dd5c11c04ae072c58601108380123aa01db4e3a0.png And here's a little mod by sneaky Red Panda that just removes the star costs for all weapons and equipment in the game: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1570656046 And here's the beginning of |

As usual, the first person to comment with a link to their screenshot of the end screen with both medals gets an extra DKAS key to share with a friend :) This should even work in coop, if one of you chooses Shield, it should count for both.

We're always dead serious (apart from small innocent April's Fools jokes). Our first game is used by the military to train, right? We don't do .... zombies. But Action Squad is our crazy child, and we can't really control what it does. So this week, it stumbled into the Nowhere City cemetery, and this happened: https://youtu.be/wrRM3nkVnpY So, what's in our treat bag this Halloween: - 4 zombie style enemies added. Or were they 5? 6? Be careful, reports are still garbled. - Weekly |

| CN/JP/KR Localizations Added! | 2018-09-25 | We just added Chinese, Japanese and Korean translations to the game. Oh and Brazilian-Portuguese too, while we're at it :) https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/30444167/6c3e8984c6e30ac01e814f1f5bfe289cc58a72b0.png As always, we've worked with highly experienced professional translators AND tested the translations in the most efficient way (let's just say that random Chinese mom #3 at the kids playground was very enthusiastic and supportive). But in the off-chance there's still bugs in the translations, please report them in the relevant thread: https://steamcommunity.com/app/686200/discussions/0/33173537276794891 |
