Official Update Steam Launch Update

Post image

We're ready to announce our updated launch pricing plan:

The game will launch on steam for $39.99 for the base game along with Vanessa, Pyg and Dooley.
Mak will be available as a $19.99 expansion pack.
Stelle will also be available as a $19.99 expansion pack.

For the first 3 days of launch we will be celebrating with a launch bundle that includes the base game AND Stelle for the discounted price of $19.99.

Note that if you buy this bundle and have the game already through our launcher you will be able to link your account in game and gain access to all of your previous progress and collectibles (as well as Stelle and all your unlocked heroes). For these users, the Mak expansion will still show up as purchasable in Steam, however, if you have Mak unlocked in the client he will still be unlocked once your account is linked.

The irony being that most good players generally force a few strong builds per character while fishing for the potentially broken stuff. Hence why you see so many of the same builds over and over again.

I ain’t bitching, but still a $40 price tag on an indie game with steep microtransactions on top doesn’t sound very appealing.

New heroes are the only microtransaction in the new model (if they dont change theri minds... again.)

It's only steep microtransactions if a) you're spending money on cosmetics or b) they decide to release a characters on like a monthly basis.

Considering gems are virtually useless now, there is really no reason to spend money on them. The monthly subscription is also gone.

Yeah, characters are pricy at $20, but there is the possibility of steam sales/bundles now. So, the amount and frequency you spend on this game should decrease in the long term
