Battle Shapers 0.3.0 – Stormscraper Update Adds New Tower, New Challenges!
Last October, developers Metric Empire debuted their first title Battle Shapers into Early Access, now the team is releasing a brand new update for their roguelite FPS. Update 0.3.0 is now available and introduces an electrifying new tower for players to explore – the Stormscraper. The update also features new weapons, abilities and a never-seen-before enemy.
New Tower: The Stormscraper
The Stormscraper is now ready for you to take on to cleanse the corruption! While the Stormscraper was once the center of energy production in New Elysium, this was before the tyranny of the Overlords overtook the city. Work your way through this bright and high-tech biome to liberate it from corruption and get one step closer to saving New Elysium. Fight a new enemy, explore new rooms and find new hidden ciphers to unlock!
This will allow you to challenge three towers in a single run, both extending run duration and adding a new layer of difficulty.
New Weapon: Havoc Hammer
Our first throwable weapon is finally here, the Havoc Hammer! Cock back your arm to charge up and throw this huge kinetic hammer at enemy bots to knock them back. Use this weapon to deal big damage by slamming enemies against their surroundings or knocking them away from you to help give you space in a tight situation.
New Weapon: Megaton
The Megaton is our new, flashy Kinetic rocket launcher. This launcher doesn’t fire an exploding rocket, that’s old tech. The Megaton fires imploding rockets that pull enemies towards the center of the implosion. Slam enemies together with the implosion and finish them off while they’re grouped up!
New Weapon: Arc Flash
The last new weapon of our update, the Arc Flash! This burst-fire gun is truly in a class of its own. It fires out a slurry of Shock bubbles that stick to enemies then explode after a delay. It makes up for a shorter effective range by dealing massive damage to enemies caught in your horde of bubbles.
New Ability: Thermite Clusterbombs
The Thermite Clusterbombs are our new Pyro grenade. But it’s not just one grenade, it’s five grenades. This ability allows you to throw five grenades at once to cover a massive area and set all of your enemies on fire. Alternatively, get up close and personal to throw all five at the same target to deal massive damage!
New Ability: Scatterblast Turret
Have you ever found yourself annoyed by swaths of pest-like murderous robots? Well, we’ve got the solution for you: The Scatterblast Turret! This new ability places a turret that rapidly shoots small Vibro bullets in a circular wave-like pattern; use it to handle grouped up enemy bots like a pro.
This update also contains a multitude of bug fixes, performance optimization and difficulty balancing tweaks.
