Hello everyone! The Ignited Steel launch is coming up and although we wont confirm a release date (but really really soon) we are here to talk about the game’s development. YokaiCade’s team has made great progress both with the narrative as well as the gameplay. In its current state, Ignited Steel has a completely developed campaign even with its final bosses!

This was something we created after receiving feedback from people close to us who had played the game as well as the fast forward buttons for enemy turns. We have improved the playstyle of the game, adding a big amount of different kinds of weapons that combined with the overheating mechanic give variability and replayability to the game, offering the player a fresh experience every time.

Combining this with the overheat mechanic, Ignited Steel offers the player versatility for their combat style. With the overheat mechanic we will deal more damage to our enemies but we will be more vulnerable so we need to be careful on which strategy we choose.

The climatic conditions will affect the rate at which our mechas will heat up. At this time, we have 3 different battlefields, cold, warm and neutral. Stay tuned this upcoming weeks for more details about the Ignited Steel development and its release date! Thank you for reading and see you soon!
