Hi everyone,

Lots of new content just went live!

We have added a new style ranking system to Firefight mode which rewards you for being stylish! There's 30 types of stunts available to you to boost your score, read about them in the Firefight setup screen. Firefight mode should feel way more satisfying and way less grindy! Plus there's a bunch of new levels pre-unlocked for you to try out.

You can also now send living enemies flying through the air with your kicks, thrown weapons, and explosions. They'll get back up if you don't finish them off. This new system creates some extremely stylish combat moments! If you prefer the old way check game settings to turn it off.

There's also some great new music and lots of small quality of life tweaks requested on the discord and steam forums. Full notes below!

Please note that we are making all new leaderboards because of the new scoring system, if you want to access the old build and leaderboards they will be made available on a beta branch.

Thanks for reading and enjoy the new content,

-MattWLA

Patch 1.5.10 allows you to disable controller support entirely if you want to

It was a bit of a slow week on our side. As these things happen, there simply were too many distractions. Still we managed to fix a fair number of bugs and add an option to disable controller support entirely. Next week we’ll pick up the pace of those fixes a notch or two once more!
