Developer eBrain Studio has released a new update and revealed a roadmap for cyberpunk action roguelite LOOPMANCER, which is out now on Steam and the Epic Games Store. A weeklong discount of 10 percent is now in effect on Steam until September 5.
Since its launch last month, LOOPMANCER has received a variety of improvements and new features requested by the community. These include difficulty rebalancing, expanded customizable control schemes, auto-pickup of files, cues for incoming attacks from beyond the screen, task and trap layout improvements, and more.
Today’s v1.03 update introduces a gallery where players can unlock concept art and character models as they make their way through Dragon City. It also adds widescreen support, improves the sorting of collectible files, and enhances player visibility of enemies, among other features.
LOOPMANCER’s incoming v1.04 update will add a Rogue Build system that increases the variety of combat in the game. Players will be able to equip all outfits, weapons, and buffs with additional effects, thus allowing them to use murdered enemies as corpse bombs or deal ramming damage during dashes. The v1.05 will introduce a challenge mode where players will be able to freely assemble stages and enjoy an endless adrenaline rush. Expect more news regarding these updates soon.
Today’s Systems Showcase video sheds more light on LOOPMANCER’s neo-noir narrative, treacherous randomized world, and the vast array of lethal armaments available to private detective Xiang Zixu. In the game, players are able to wield melee weapons, firearms, tactical gear, prosthetic limb chips, special moves, and more to take down hordes of enemies, including an army of bionic ninjas controlled by the fearsome Hiroyuki Ogata and a gang of hooligan mobsters led by the infamous Wei Long.
Players with GeForce RTX can activate ray tracing and NVIDIA DLSS to experience unparalleled graphical quality and AI-powered performance boosts. Ray-traced reflection tech further immerses players in LOOPMANCER’s twisted cyberpunk world, from the festive spirits in the pavilions and the blinding neon lights in the heart of the metropolis to the thunderstorms of Feng Li Walled City and the unsettling darkness of a decaying village.
LOOPMANCER is now available on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.
