Demons Rise Lords of Chaos

 
Upcoming Game Release - Strike Team GladiusOct 30, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsStrike Team Gladius is our next major release. We've been working on it for the past year and half. It's built on the same core, turn-based game engine as Shieldwall Chronicles but adds lots of new game mechanics such as explosive terrain objects, new ability types, passive skills and lots more. It continues the storyline of Strike Team Hydra but brings the combat planet side. Larger maps in a variety of locations, each with their own tactical nuances.

The sinister Werespider who is an armoured melee fighter with the ability to use its webbing and paralysis poison to ensnare and weaken its enemies. It also includes updates to the store to make the item sorting easier to use.

The first is the stealthy ninja ... a cunning assassin class that can use poison darts, dual blades, and every trick in the book to kill his enemies. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/32560716/c42dbb1ce4da27b7fe3f14e1a81bcd9b4f8407d5.png The second is the Ratkin Plague Blade, a nasty fighter that uses disease as a weapon. His blade oozes corruption and he'll have the ability to infect enemies with several, long-lasting debuffs. His pox-ridden body will also be surprisingly resilient and immune to pain.1.5 Patch UploadedMay 16, 2018 - Community Announcementshttps://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/32560716/ba79b258352a0dbca37ffecee7efc2355a24c3ee.png - Added a new playable character class called the Toadman Guard. A tough, brutish warrior that can emit poisonous slime and gases from his skin during combat. - Added a new tooltip that appears when the mouse hovers over a tile. This tooltip displays terrain effects, collectible details and a summary of enemy units with their hit points, action points, and counter attack details. - Added a new party-member summary on the left side of the screen that displays each surviving party member’s hit points and a small icon to denote whether that unit can attack, move or perform any abilities this turn. Pressing any of these icons also focuses the camera on that character and makes him or her the actively selected character. - Removed zero value items as rewards for completing a level. Instead, players will instead gain an additional 500 gold for completing the level if the random reward item has zero gold value. - Fixed a bug where the end turn button would disappear if the space or end turn button was pressed while a character was performing an attack. - Fixed a bug where receiving an extra attack due to an ability would not refresh the enemies that can be attacked until the player manually clicked on the active character. - Fixed a bug where the wrong patrol level would be checked off as completed when patrol levels 5 or later were completed. - Fixed a bug where unchecking the “persistent corpses” option would not cause corpses to be hidden automatically. - Fixed a bug where the inventory stat screen incorrectly capped certain characters’ dodge and attack skills at 100. - Fixed various minor bugs.Preview of Tooltip ImprovementsMay 9, 2018 - Community AnnouncementsA quick preview of a small UI improvement in the next update. Hovering the mouse over a tile with either a collectable item or enemy unit will show a small popup window that explains what that collectable item or the stats and number of counter attacks available for that unit. Should be a useful way to scan the battlefield and get key information without having to use right mouse click to check out individual tiles. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/32560716/4b7483789600bef05e7e57e5be1cc2f95b9a12a6.png https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/32560716/df02e9206699c0dd0ec3ceca3322531c3734a27e.png Hope you like it.Preview of new character (Toadman)May 8, 2018 - Community Announcementshttps://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/32560716/97f6797142e8365027adf921f9cb0c1956b0ad58.png Here's a preview of the next character class to be added. It's a beastman that is part venomous toad and part human. He's a huge warrior armed with a shield and flail so will definitely be tough in melee. His powers will revolve around using his sticky tongue to distract his foes and using the various noxious gases and slime that his skin can emit to choke his enemies or make himself harder to hit. Slow to react but with a lot of hit points and some unusual skills, he should make for a fun new addition to the roster. Also making further enhancements to the UI to make controlling the team and navigating the battle easier. 1.4 Patch UploadedMay 3, 2018 - Community Announcements- Fixed a bug where pressing the End Turn button while a unit was performing a move or attack would cause the end turn button to disappear. - Removed the “Leave Area” button and instead gold is now picked up and the end turn screen is loaded automatically without user input.
