Total Incremental Battle

We've just released a big playtest updateWe've just released a big playtest update.Some highlights:7 new unitsImproved prestige progression systemTime Machine progression systemReworked Annihilation system to make it much more interestingThe upgrades are going to be much more interesting. You'll be able to create your own unique builds to maximize the power.And each upgrade will have a mini-quest that you need to complete to unlock it.Automation systemFor the full release, we want the game to have many weeks of content. It'll be more idle and less active later on. But to keep the game fun, it'll require some automation. We've thought a lot about how to make it work, and we are looking forward to your feedback for it!Reworked challengesWhat's Next? The current version of the game is getting very close to what we want for the public Steam Demo. If everything goes according to plan, we expect to release it in 2–3 months. Before then, there are still several major improvements we want to make: Research system rework (we're not happy with the current design, and the UI needs a complete overhaul)Player profilesMore Annihilation upgradesAdditional UI improvements and polishSteam Deck controlsPvP We'll also be listening closely to your feedback, so some priorities may change before the demo launches. After the Steam Demo Once the Steam Demo is released, we'll close the current playtest and shift our focus to the full game. Later, we'll open a new playtest for the full version. Here are some of the features we're currently planning: Secondary Reset Layer A new progression layer inspired by games like CIFI and Revolution Idle.

Let us know what you think!Stage Structure Rework & Persistent OrdersOrders now persist between battles, so you no longer need to set them up every time.We also reworked the stage structure:Enemy layouts now change between stagesEach stage after Stage 10 now contains 5 floorsEvery floor within a stage shares the same enemy layoutThe goal of this rework is to make tactical setups stay valuable for longer periods of time. In most cases, you’ll only need to prepare your tactics when entering a new stage.Improved Group ManagementGroup management has been heavily reworked and now includes several new features:Collision and group overlappingCustom group sizesFormations per group New Player UnitCatapult — deals powerful AoE damage New Enemy UnitsSpear Orc — effective against Cavalry, but weaker in most other situationsArmored Orc — uses a shield to reduce incoming archer damage, but deals less damage in melee combatArcher Orc — dangerous when left unchecked, but vulnerable to flanking Cavalry Traits, Counters & Synergies Each unit now has a set of traits. For example, the Knight has the traits: Frontline, Infantry, and Sw...
