~ The Grit and Valor - 1949 Team

Hey Commanders,

We hope you've been enjoying update 4 of Grit & Valor - 1949!

We have some news regarding the Steam VR version of our game. We are working hard on updates to address feedback we have recently received. With our focus on improving the experience of Grit & Valor - 1949 for all platforms. The Steam VR version will no longer be launching this week as planned. We apologise for this inconvenience and want to ensure you have the best possible experience when playing.

Please continue to share any feedback and we promise to keep you updated on any upcoming patches and the launch of the VR version.

Thank you again for your patience and continued support.

Greetings, Commanders!

The fourth post-launch update which comes with a huge list of improvements, balancing and fixes is out now. These include a special focus on post-game content: "Threat Levels" and a re-work of the Overclock system.

We have an update regarding the VR version coming to Steam. Due to an unexpected technical issue with the game, the launch of the VR version has been delayed to next week. We apologise for this inconvenience and want to ensure that you have the best possible experience when playing. We promise to keep you updated on the situation and to let you know once the VR version is officially out next week.

Thank you so much for understanding and for always supporting our game, in the mean time, we hope you enjoy the changes in update 4. We'd love to hear what you think, so let us know by joining our Discord server and sharing your feedback.

Threat Level Rising

Threat Levels have been activated across all regions, marking the beginning of a new post-game campaign. Each region now comes with five escalating Threat Levels. The further you push, the tougher enemies become.

Every Threat Level comes with a set of Directives, high-risk challenges that must be completed in a single mission. Succeeding earns you Medals, Command’s new currency for unlocking higher Threat Levels.

Combat balance has been overhauled to match the rising challenge, so expect tougher fights, tighter margins, and deadlier choices. The War Room’s been retooled to support this new structure. You’ll find Threat Levels front and centre in mission prep, making it easier to track your progress and plan your next deployment.

To read more about Threat Levels, check out our preview post from last week.

Overclocks Reforged

We also recently posted a preview of the Overclocks re-work! You can find it here in case you missed it.

Overclocks are no longer tucked away in the Mech Yard, but now earned in the thick of battle. You’ll unlock and equip them mid-run, shaping your firepower and tactics in real time. If you spent Intelligence or Blueprints unlocking Advancements or Overclocks before, Command’s issuing full refunds.

Overclocks are now organised into 10 specialist categories, each one pushing your mechs in a new tactical direction. Not every mech can access every category, so you’ll need to know your unit and make your choices count.

Power (the way Overclocks are unlocked) has also changed. It’s now fuelled directly by Boosts and Enhancements: each one you slot in adds to your Overclock ‘Power’ capacity. We’ve lowered the thresholds to get you into the action faster, and you’ll see your Power Level front and centre when selecting upgrades.

We also added a new Overclock reward screen and upgraded the Squad Overview so you can track your build at a glance.

Command is also dropping 43 brand-new Overclocks into the rotation. Some existing ones have been reworked, others reassigned as Enhancements, and one decommissioned entirely.

The Grit and Valor - 1949

Greetings, Commanders!

Kevin here, back again with another Developer Diary and today we'll be talking about a brand new feature - Threat Levels

We’re really excited about this one and it’s probably the biggest change to the game since launch, and will feature in our upcoming Update 4.

What are Threat levels

Threat Levels allow you to crank up the challenge in every region, letting you take on all 4 Regions with tougher enemies that hit harder, take more damage, and keep you on your toes.

There are 5 difficulty levels in each Region. Completing 3 Directives at a given level earns you Medals that unlock additional Threat Levels, but not in a strictly linear order - you’ll need to complete Threat Levels in later regions before you can tackle the hardest Threat Levels in Region 1, for instance.

Why Threat Levels

In a nutshell, Threat Levels give the player more to do in the game but also they:

• Create a smoother, more rewarding sense of progression as you move through regions and tougher difficulties

• Add meaningful end-game content after New Germany

• Encourage replayability and variety by letting you unlock and tackle higher threat levels across regions

• Push players to experiment with squad choices and improve their skills through medals and directives

How Difficult Will it Get?

I asked my colleague Erin who has been regularly testing the new features for a rough breakdown of the difficulty levels:

• Threat Level 1 – git gud this is easy

• Threat Level 2 – okay, not too bad, not too difficult

• Threat Level 3 – uh, struggling a little here

• Threat Level 4 – oh god make it stop

• Threat Level 5 – internal and external screaming!

Anyway, we challenge you all to clear each Threat Level in every Region and look forward to you all telling us how you did!

Thanks for reading our latest Dev Diary and we’re really excited to hearing your feedback on this and all the other new content in Update 4!

Until then, thanks as always for your feedback and support. If you'd like to hear more from us about Grit and Valor, join our Discord server and follow us on social media!

Greetings, Commanders!

Kevin is back again with another Developer Diary! This time we’re delving into our planned overhaul of the Overclocks system. Thanks to your invaluable feedback, we found ways to make each run feel more unique and satisfying. Overclocks can be equipped to Mechs in the Mech Yard after earning enough Power (granted by Modules). These give your Mechs a definitive edge during combat, such as by dealing more damage against bosses or reviving your Mech once it reaches 0 HP. However, we felt that this system was going underused for a few reasons:

• Limited variety

• Clear winners for most OP Overclocks (Phoenix Protocol *cough*)

• Hidden away in the Mech Yard

• Grindy to earn Power for Overclock slots

In our new system, coming in Update 4 along with VR Mode on 21 August, Overclocks are now accessible through collecting rewards during gameplay. Their other core mechanics remain similar but with some key improvements:

• More Overclocks – a greater variety of Overclocks to choose from

• Better run variation – Overclocks no longer carry over into new runs so different combinations can be chosen each run with no go-to choices

• Playstyle defining - Overclocks are now more playstyle defining. Enhancement and Boosts have been reworked to be more Power focused to complement this

• More accessible – Overclocks are now available during main gameplay and from the get-go

New Overclock Examples

• Phalanx Resolve – When this Mech kills an enemy, a nearby ally restores health

• Adrenal Redline – While at low health, this Mechs fire rate and movement speed are increased every second, stacking up to 100 times

You'll hear all the full details about the updated Overclocks system in the full Update 4 patch notes on 21 August!

Until then, thanks as always for your feedback and support. If you'd like to hear more from us about Grit and Valor, join our Discord server and follow us on social media!

- Kevin and The Grit and Valor - 1949 Team

Hey everyone, Kevin here again with another Dev Diary! First off, apologies for the gap in between Dev Diaries, we have been doing a lot of work behind the scenes getting the game ready for the next Major Update and I’m really looking forward to doing a deeper dive into the contents over the coming week. The focus of this Dev Diary though is the Cover debate, and our conclusion. Thanks again to everyone who jumped in to give feedback on this, I know cover has been a point of contention for many (including within the dev team) - you’ve all been brilliant about pointing out the good, the bad, and the “huh, that’s weird” moments.

If you missed our earlier post, here’s the short version: Grit and Valor originally launched with 1-sided cover - walls would only protect you from one direction. Based on your feedback (and a healthy dose of “but… a wall’s a wall, right?”), we decided to trial 2-sided cover. The idea was simple: if there’s a chunk of solid material between you and the enemy, it should block fire from either side. After a good amount of playtesting, here’s where we’ve landed:

Our Takeaways

• It feels good. In most situations, 2-sided cover is more intuitive and realistic. You can move a bit more freely, take risks more comfortably, and split forces without feeling overly exposed.

• It changes the flow but in a good way. You can hold ground more dynamically, make more interesting flanking choices, and in some cases avoid the “dash from one safe spot to the next” rhythm, often due to enemies arriving from a different direction and the cover you're next to happens to be facing the wrong way.

• Enemies aren’t suddenly superhuman. We worried they’d start abusing cover against you all the time, but that hasn’t really happened except in some very specific situations (usually tied to poor positioning or unusual map layouts).

The Implication

To get the full benefit, we needed to rethink level layouts. That meant placing cover so it can be used from multiple angles without clogging movement routes, and balancing cover strength so it lasts long enough to matter without making it a permanent fortress. This ended up being quite a big job as it meant a review and rework of every level in the game. Some needed more tweaks than others but still, a huge undertaking for our small team.

Where we’re at

So, we decided to commit to 2-sided cover going forward and have now implemented the change. Here’s what you can expect to see in Update 4:

• Stronger, better-positioned cover in key spots.

• Fewer “useless” pieces that block movement without offering good protection.

• More consideration for how both you and the enemy can interact with cover.

As always, we’ll be keeping an eye on how this plays once it’s rolled out. So if you find weird edge cases, keep letting us know - your feedback is what helps us improve the game.

That’s it for 2-sided cover but watch out for the next Dev Diary showcasing some of the other major changes we’re making for Update 4.

Thanks everyone, and see you on the battlefield!

Grit & Valor is coming to VR 21 August! Experience all-new VR features, allowing you to get up-close to the action in this dieselpunk tactical roguelite. Owners on PC will gain access to this additional mode for free!

Greetings, Commanders! 

Accessibility is central to our design philosophy. We believe games are better when everyone can play. 

In this post, we’d like to walk you through the accessibility features we’ve implemented in Grit and Valor – 1949 and share a bit about how we approached them. Prefer to sit back and watch? We cover this content in the video below: 

🎨 Visual Accessibility 

Colourblind Settings 

Unit allegiance and item rarity are partly distinguished by colour, which can be a barrier for colourblind players. To address this, we’ve introduced: 

• Dedicated Colourblind Modes for protanopia, deuteranopia, and tritanopia. 

• Text Labels for Rarity, so you’ll always see “Common,” “Rare,” etc., alongside the colour. 

• Custom Colour Selection, allowing players to choose hues that suit their specific vision. 

We understand that disabilities including colour blindness exist on a spectrum. It’s not just a matter of being fully colourblind or not. That’s why we designed a colour picker rather than locking players into presets. While we provide standard profiles, we also give players the freedom to choose what works best for their eyes. 

High Contrast Mode 

Inspired by standout implementations in games like The Last of Us Part II, this mode helps players with low vision by: 

• Clearly tinting allies, enemies, and objectives (distinct from the behind-wall effect to preserve clarity). 

• Removing highlights from dead units, so players can focus on live threats. 

• Letting players darken or desaturate the environment and skybox via sliders. 

Much like the colour picker, the contrast sliders came from the understanding that people experience visual limitations to different degrees. Even if you don’t have a disability, features like High Contrast Mode can still help. Some of our own team members with no vision issues prefer to play with it enabled. 

General Visual Features 

• Permanent unit outlines 

• Adjustable unit marker sizes 

• Off-screen indicators with screen-edge arrows 

🔊 Audio & UI Accessibility 

HUD Feedback for Audio Cues 

For players who can’t rely on sound, we reinforced critical events visually through the unit HUD: 

• Selected units are clearly mirrored in the HUD 

• Damaged units pulse or change in the HUD 

• Fallen units display in greyscale 

• Incoming hazards are visually signaled on the battlefield 

General Audio Features 

• Subtitles in all cutscenes 

• Spatial audio support (5.1 & 7.1 surround) to help localize sounds 

🎮 Input & Sensory Accessibility 

Customisable Controls 

Flexible design and controls allow players to customise the gameplay experience to suit their needs and preferences. All controls (keyboard, mouse, and gamepad) are fully re-bindable. This is critical not just for accessibility but for player comfort. 

Other Features Include: 

• Invertible camera controls 

• Haptic feedback at key gameplay moments 

• Command Vehicle rumble alerts to warn of imminent destruction 

💭 Looking Ahead 

With the game fully launched, this is a perfect time for us to reflect and think about future projects. We would like to improve by bringing accessible design into the process earlier, at the beginning of full production. 

Something as seemingly small as font size settings means making layout and UI decisions differently from day one. The earlier we include accessibility in the conversation, the more naturally it can be baked into every layer of design. 

We hope this gives you a clear look at how we’re thinking about accessibility in Grit and Valor – 1949. Whether it’s a permanent need or just personal preference, we want our tools to help more players enjoy the game their way. 

Have feedback or ideas? Let us know on Steam or in our official Discord; we’d love to hear from you.

– The Grit and Valor Team 

Greetings, Commanders!

We received fantastic questions from the community, and our developers were delighted to answer. Check out their responses below!

1. Are there plans for future content updates or dlc? 

We're currently working on an update that will introduce additional replayability and new play style-changing rewards within a run. And while expanding the game with more fresh content is something we're really excited about, we don't have firm timelines to share yet. But, it's part of our vision for the future.

2. Are there any plans for the game to be released on future platforms? 

Yes, we recently announced that Grit and Valor will be coming to PS5, Xbox X/S, Nintendo Switch and VR Platforms (Meta Quest , PSVR2, SteamVR) on the 21st August 2025. The VR version is a free add-on for Steam/PS5 owners. We hope VR players enjoy playing from this new perspective. 

3. Are new types of Mechs coming? The ones in game already are awesome! But just wanted to know if there was anything new with another unique play style? 

We’re really glad to hear you’re enjoying the current Mechs! Designing each one to feel unique and impactful is something we care deeply about. While we’re definitely excited to explore new Mechs in the future, it's too early to confirm. That said, an upcoming update will include a rework of Overclocks to give them a bigger impact on your play style, so you’ll be able to experiment with even more variety using the current Mech line-up.

4. What's been your approach to making Grit and Valor accessible, especially from a visual, auditory and motor standpoint? 

That’s a great question! Accessibility is a real design challenge in game development, especially given how much interactivity, audio visual feedback, and motor precision is often involved. From the very beginning, we set out to create a more accessible strategy game. That intent shaped a lot of our core design decisions. For instance, keeping the number of controllable units small to avoid overwhelming micromanagement, limiting battlefield size to reduce camera complexity (a common accessibility hurdle), and simplifying the controls wherever possible. In fact, the entire game can be played using just a mouse, even as new features have been added.

Our team is passionate about making sure our game is accessible to as many different types of players as possible, and while it’s always an ongoing process, we made sure to include a range of accessibility options at launch to support different player needs. We know there’s still more we can do, and we’re actively listening to feedback from players who rely on these features to help guide our future updates.

We also aimed to make our accessibility features adjustable to let players dial in their preferred experience. People have different levels of disability and we wanted to have settings that could adjust to those levels. This inspired options like the colour picker and the re-bindable controls. We hope they benefit as many players as possible.

Keep an eye out for a full video in the next couple weeks explaining the processes we used to make the game as accessible as possible.

5. What can we expect for future updates? 

Future updates will continue to build on player feedback, with our core focus being on increasing the variety of upgrades you’ll see during a run to keep your battles feeling fresh and engaging. We're also increasing replayability and removing some friction points from gameplay. While waiting for these future updates, you can jump into our recent third update which brings with it enhanced combat feedback, a balance pass on Ability Augments, and new Mech Skins.

6. Has the team considered bringing the game to mobile, allowing players to link their accounts and play while travelling? 

A mobile version is something we've definitely thought about and the idea of linked accounts allowing you to carry on the fight on-the-go sounds great. Our current focus has been on supporting and expanding the experience on PC and console. So while mobile isn’t in active development right now, it’s a possibility we’d love to explore in the future.

7. Are there plans for time-limited events or late-game content like wars or alliance-based challenges?

Our current focus is on strengthening the core gameplay and polishing existing features, but we are looking into post-game systems to add additional challenge for players who have completed the game. Your ideas like time-limited and special events are absolutely on our radar for future updates.

Want to stay in the loop?

Greetings, Commanders!

Our third post-launch update has just arrived and is packed with overall quality of life improvements, balance changes and bug fixes.

Patch Notes 1.2.0 (179)

Hi everyone, today we're releasing a small Hotfix to address some the issues some players have been having with Enhancements and Overclocks not triggering.

Bug Fixes

The Grit and Valor - 1949 Team

Hey everyone – Kevin here again with another Dev Diary!

First off, a big thank you for all the positive feedback on the latest update, it really means a lot to the team. We’re very happy to see it landing well with so many of you. That said, we know there’s still plenty of work to do, so please keep the feedback coming!

This week, I wanted to talk a bit about progression. We’ve been hearing from some players that the game can feel a bit grindy, like runs don’t stand much of a chance unless you’ve already sunk a good amount of time into upgrading your squad at the Resistance Base.

When we set out to make Grit and Valor, our goal was to create that classic roguelite loop: try, fail, learn, improve, repeat. But from your feedback, it sounds like that loop is leaning more toward frustration than fun in some cases.

Just before I get into what we're thinking, I will mention that Update #1 went some way to addressing the 'grind' concerns already by making sure players start with all 3 mechs in their squad from the start, but clearly there is more to be done.

So here’s what we’re thinking (still early days, so nothing final yet): we want to ease up on how heavily the game leans on meta progression, as that seems to be driving some of the grind. Instead, we’re planning to boost the strength, impact and variety of run rewards, so each session feels more rewarding and meaningful on its own.

We’re also looking at moving Overclocks into the run itself, which should help create more exciting (and varied) power spikes during a run, and make things feel less dependent on long-term upgrades.

We’re not going full roguelike, but we are thinking to nudge things more in that direction.

If this feels good in testing, we’ll follow it up with a balance pass, just to make sure the stronger run rewards don’t end up making things too easy if you happen to stumble on a really amazing build, especially since we know some of you are already breezing through the game! This might also come alongside some other difficulty changes if needed.

Another thing we know is adding to that grindy feeling is the lack of level variety. We’ve actually started prototyping some new level types, and eagle-eyed players might’ve noticed that a new level type was originally planned to go out with Update 2. These are closely tied to the progression changes we’re working on, so we’ve decided to hold them back until that side of things is in a better place.

Huge thanks for sticking with us, and for helping shape the game with every new update.

Thanks everyone, have an awesome weekend!

• Fixed boost tooltips not having names.
• Fixed boost tooltips width being incorrect.
• Fixed access denied tooltip not appearing on Command Centre when it is locked.
• Fixed enhancements for dead mechs appearing as a choice when awarded.
• Fixed Jump Jet not displaying correct stat values for kills and damage dealt.
• Fixed reroll text on rewards screen not displaying correctly when it is affordable.

• Encourages more strategic positioning – players need to be mindful of where enemies are coming from.
• Promotes level exploration, as players move around to find cover that works based on the direction of threat.
• Gives players a tactical advantage – enemies are much less likely to benefit from cover.
• Cons:
• Doesn’t always make sense visually – why would a wall only protect from one side?
• Can be frustrating when a seemingly good piece of cover becomes useless just because enemies show up from the "wrong" direction.

• Feels more intuitive and realistic – a wall should offer protection on both sides.
• Makes cover more universally useful, which could help reinforce it as a core mechanic instead of something players forget about.
• It adds to the tactical challenge – if enemies use cover against you, that’s on your positioning. You either take the cover yourself or deny it to the enemy by repositioning.

• Players might end up dancing around a single block of cover depending on enemy spawns, rather than moving around the map. (see diagram below).
• If cover takes damage from both sides, it could get destroyed really quickly. That might balance things out and make players move around the map more, but could also make cover feel weak or temporary.

Launch and First Impressions

Top Themes in Player Feedback

• Core gameplay is fun but lacks tactical depth
• Core gameplay is fun but lacks variety (e.g., things you experience in runs and ability to change things up mid-run)
• The roguelite grind can feel frustrating
• Game balance needs further refinement
• Certain gameplay elements feel frustrating (notably: Hazards, repetitive VO, and the Cover system)
• Some players expected a turn-based experience similar to Into the Breach

What We're Working on Right Now

Cover - 1-sided vs. 2-sided

Re-group Command & Enemy Prioritisation

Control Improvements

• The path and range indicators now update correctly when selecting units with the 1-4 hotkeys on keyboard or cycling through them with the bumpers on a gamepad.

• While navigating the Region Map with a gamepad, the map now auto-scrolls to frame the currently selected level node if it is offscreen.
• Moved the Main Menu panel and Pause Menu panel closer to the middle of the screen when using an ultrawide resolution.

Three Key Updates Incoming

April Update: Early Game Overhaul

May & June: Gameplay Updates

Display Settings Fixes

• When you change the resolution, display or window mode and select Apply in the Settings menu, the game now saves your changes without re-applying them.
• When you make changes in the Settings menu and select Revert, the game applies your previously saved display settings and refreshes the settings text once the changes have finished applying.
• When you select Defaults from the Settings menu, the game returns to your main display (the first one in the Display list) and uses that display's native resolution in Borderless window mode. If the native resolution is reported as portrait, the game translates it to landscape.

Known Issues and Limitations

• The UI is designed for a minimum aspect ratio of 16:10 (commonly used on laptops and handhelds), so we don't recommend using any narrower resolutions. The 4:3 and 5:4 resolutions are automatically filtered out.
• Portrait displays such as vertical monitors are not supported, so the game may behave unexpectedly if you try to move the game window to them.
• When setting the Window Mode to Fullscreen and using a resolution other than the display's native resolution, the game may not display correctly. If you need to use a non-native resolution, we recommend using Borderless window mode.
• You may see unusual resolutions in the list which are larger than your display's native resolution (e.g. some 1440p monitors may also list 4K as an option). This is normal as the game reads from the same list of resolutions available in Windows Display Settings, even if they cannot be applied.

Balance Changes

• Scandinavia Enemy Health increased by 10%.
• Scandinavia Boss Health increased by 12%.

• Western Europe Enemy Health increased by 30%.
• Western Europe Boss Health increased by 18%.
• Increased difficulty and frequency of enemy waves during Western Europe Boss fight.
• Fixed Western Europe Boss being a Ballistic class unit.
• Fixed Western Europe Boss Pylons not damaging nearby units once destroyed.
• Airships delay before it starts shooting has been increased from 5 to 6 seconds.

• New Germany Enemy Health increased by 30%.
• New Germany Boss Health increased by 20% and Armor increased from 25%.

• Gold Tipped Rounds damage per 100 coins has been reduced from 10% to 2%.

• Reduced cost of Module Salvaging Advancement from 5 to 3.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug where the game could display in a portrait aspect ratio on some displays or handheld devices.
• Fixed issues with screen resolution not updating correctly when switching monitors or restoring settings to defaults.
• Fixed issues with localised text overrunning in parts of the UI.
• Updated some text in game based on localisation feedback, predominantly shortening text where possible across the board and making it more consistent across the game.
• Fixed issues with Line of Sight across all regions and levels, including some inconsistencies with terrain as well as various structures we feel you'd be able to shoot through/over.
• • Terrain objects and elevation should properly block LoS across the game
  • Various blocker objects in Scandinavia should feel more accurate
  • Various blocker objects in Western Europe should feel more accurate
  • Various blocker objects in New Germany should feel more accurate
  • Fixed issue in New Germany elevation where LoS was getting bypassed
• Fixed a bug where the research lab in the British Isles boss level could take damage after the boss was defeated, causing you to fail the level.
• Reduced cost of Module Salvaging Advancement from 5 to 3.

BASE STATS

• Health: 500
• Armor: 0
• Repair: 0
• Movement Speed: 15
• Damage: 15
• Weapon Range: 2
• Fire Rate: 120
• Weakness Damage: 50%
• High Ground Damage: 20%
• Critical Chance: 0%
• Critical Damage: 100%

ABILITY PAIRINGS

• Archie Miller - Mech Jet: this is a prime choice since the Leadslug only has a weapon range of two tiles. Being able to jump in to engage your enemies quickly helps overcome any vulnerability from being exposed to Axis units with longer range for too long.
• Emilia Rochefort - Mechano-Arm: another way to circumvent the Leadslug’s requirement to get close to enemies is with the Mechano-Arm to help it tank incoming damage. This is a great choice which enables the mech to play a bruiser-style role on the squad and relieve pressure from your other units.
• Jan Novak - Deploy Mines: these are our third choice from the starting lineup. With a respectable movement speed, the Leadslug can get around the map well enough to drop mines in prime locations. However, these do less than the other two abilities to make up for the mech’s key weakness.
