[ Lords of Ravage ] NO MERCY. NO HEROES! From October 15, 2025

https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/39808920/e03d82778f113b1870fdcf6bd58da6b3883c030d.gif Hey, villains! A few days of light remain before we plunge into darkness. Drop the mask of the benefactor, gloat over hypocrites, and bring the axe of war down on so-called heroes. Enjoy heroes' last gasp as you rise from the ashes once more. https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/39808920/d69527675ced2586b703ea7b3b81c4a1a6580bc6.gif After four long years of trials and tireless work, the day has finally come. This is the moment we have been waiting for. The month and the day. We proudly announce the full release of . Evil truly is on the rise! https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/39808920/fc2314495f750c42881fa66e5db6900ae6d67018.gif Brutal, unforgiving battles await you alongside deep and compelling tactical choices. One mistake won’t be your downfall, but mistakes have a nasty habit of piling up. https://clan.fastly.steamstatic.com/images/39808920/19b3017665979ac2604e0ca64bb8dc92325c3f39.png Spare no expences, in gold and in lives of your followers. The ground will turn crimson in your wake. Recruit, level up, build a deck of Edicts and Relics, construct your lair, and forge invincible force in this roguelite experience! https://clan.fastly.steamstatic.com/images/39808920/a7c3c730052853ca570607fc3e20987374bdef3e.png We deliberately moved away from "carnival-style evil". Each boss has their own backstory and a personal reason for ending up on their dark and twisted path. Each Lord is a story of a disgraced monster seeking power to achieve a grim and selfish goal, one that justifies any means. You act with cynicism and precise intent, showing cruelty not for its own sake, but when it is the most reasonable way to gain an advantage. https://clan.fastly.steamstatic.com/images/39808920/d727d5742c5fb2a62d7f8a8ab289994db92303cd.png Each Lord has their own unique playstyle, which means your tactics must take into account their twist on the build rather than relying on a familiar, comfortable combination. We have tried to strike a universal balance with an easier path for newcomers and deep customizable difficulty for those who seek a tougher challenge. https://clan.fastly.steamstatic.com/images/39808920/e505a218babff3df65a4ff7179a395e78c928e68.png We would appreciate your wishlists as they will help boost the game’s visibility at launch. Together, we will make evil triumph, and every negative review only makes us stronger! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TfJUuJP9-tk& Special thanks: To our patient team of artists and designers who felt every shade of black, many earning their first Steam game achievement. They always found the time to meet us halfway when it was needed. We hope to create many more dark games together. You can meet each of them in the game credits, if you make it to the end, of course. 😈 On our path to universal evil, we were accompanied by dedicated industry veterans. We would like to especially thank Andrey Postnikov and Danil Kamenev, who helped us find a way out of dead ends. Our marketing team at 101XP decided to embrace the dark side and soak in the horror. The editorial team at Turn Based Lovers, for their sincere support from the very beginning of the announcement. And also the entire developer community of STEAMиздат - sending them our greetings.

+ 86% off Mainframe Defenders / Dev. diary #3 Lords of Ravage! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42064757/e05bde71935b40312f2d80fdd45cf663c1a2d38f.png Hi! We've finally got some good news. We've got the funding, and we're ready to continue the work. It's been a while since the last dev diary, and despite putting a stop on production of assets, we've had time to refine the game mechanics. But the long wait is now over, and we can finally start working in full force. Our current priorities are: - Assets for the game. Pretty self-explanatory. We've got more than half of the game done already, but in some areas we're still lagging behind. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42064757/267fdc9c6bfc348e3ed4b8be7a376712978ee013.png - UI rework. In our many internal tests, the UI and UX were consistently cited as the main issues of the game. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42064757/c9d588869fea6ef458884d00d1f0a120da4a5b15.png - In-game map. This is a significant part of the game, so the aesthetics of the map and event window are important. We've got some promising prototypes to put a fun visual twist on a tried-and-true node travel and event system. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42064757/e33d1efdafe41829a23845d4270bee926161e4ba.png With all of the insane reworks we've done, I think the gameplay core is already solid enough. But as you work on the game, you can lose a bit of grasp and need a fresh perspective from outside, especially from new players. We can't wait to get some feedback from you guys! Expect much more information from us. Next time, expect a development diary on the juicy new event system. Meanwhile, here is a new environment for the game: Swamps. You may have noticed from the cover that we're participating in Turn-based carnival 2023 from the 14th through the 21st, thanks to the folks at Acram Digital. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42064757/ab84c38f30727a4bd815c286711fef5113b70e90.gif Huge thanks to Lord Berold for shaking down Mainframe Defenders for an 86% discount.)))

Second anniversary of Mainframe Defenders!

Synthetic_Domainsteam_community_announcementsworkshop

1603d ago

Hello everyone!

So, the second anniversary of Mainframe Defenders has arrived. A lot of time has passed. It seems only recently that we launched the Meltdown update, where we completely rebalanced the game and fixed a lot of issues, but there is even more stuff to come!

Mainframe Defenders: Meltdown

After numerous complaints about the Spanish localization, we have redone it from scratch (ETA: March 2022) and are waiting for feedback on the quality. We are also adding Steam cards, icons, and emotes to the community. Now you can see what the robots from the game look like in a 3D sketch style and much more. If you like it, we will try to continue working in this direction. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36104698/5a082287a28ec33f1ecab8335b3d7354f9920758.png We are not deviating from the tradition that we maintain every anniversary, and we are launching the biggest discount yet (80%). The promotion starts on March 7th and lasts until March 21st at a special price of $2/£1.44/€1.64/¥0.2/₩2.1/¥7.4/CDN$2.3/A$2.5/NT$37.2/zl7.2. Next start to april! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1184810/Mainframe_Defenders/ NEW PROJECTS! We haven't been sitting idle, and now we are ready to announce a new project! We are happy to introduce you to a new game waiting to be wishlisted:

Lords of Ravage

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1830320/Lords_of_Ravage/ We have not moved away from the turn-based strategy genre, but on the contrary, we decided to release something turn-based, beautiful, and unique. Our new game is a 2.5D strategy in a dark fantasy setting with rich lighting. Unlike the visually simplistic Mainframe Defenders, the fights here are much more spectacular. At the same time, we are still focused on gameplay. A selling feature is that you are the final boss and the leader of a shadowy organization! Get ready to smash the heroes and satisfy your lust for power! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36104698/45e533acf036d848c481c23381061e5161637da8.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36104698/3a7e75857294bce49ed58b968d99135f4b9f1c15.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36104698/01edd478b06fce54a29ea118e896e0edad3171b5.png As usual, if you are interested in our projects and the latest news from our team, join our Discord and other social media.

1.3 Anniversary content update

ZeroTheCatsteam_community_announcements

1984d ago

New content: - New player units: "Synapse A" and "Synapse B". - New strategic tile: "Upgrade Chest". - You can now rename your units and assign individual colors to them. Upgrade System for enemies: Every enemy has a chance to have an additional item. That chance increases as you progress through the tier, and scales with the difficulty. So far the upgrades are: 1. "1 Armor breach" on the attack. 2. +10/15/20 armor (depending on tier) 3. +30/40/50 hull (depending on tier) 4. -50% status effects damage. 5. 20 damage cap from any source. 6. 10/15/20 heat applied per shot. The upgraded enemies are marked with the + icon. Reworked content: - Status effects mechanics changed: some status effects can now have a set amount of turns before expiration. This solves the issue of player mechs having 10 stacks of "Propulsion Damaged" and limping along for the rest of the mission. The duration is refreshed upon adding new stacks though! - "Propulsion Damaged" and Interference now only lasts 3 turns, regardless of stack amount. - "Corrupted Data rework". It lasts for 2 turns now, but prevents any healing and can't be cleansed. This gives this status effect a unique place in the game, adding a new threat type. - "Damaged Sensor rework". Lasts 2 turns and limits the max damage from weapons. - "Armor Breach" now lasts 3 turns. Negative armor now increases incoming attack damage. "Armor Breach" values reduced for all items. - Corrosion now ignores armor. - New status effect: "Unstable Current". Lasts 2 turns and reduces weapon damage by 5 per stack. It is introduced as a proper active counter to burst fire builds. - New status effect: "Lingering Heat". Applies 1 heat per stack, but can't be cleaned at all. - Player units utilize Improved Interference that cuts damage by 50%. - "Dominator Armor". This armor sets a limit on how much damage the owner can take in a single instance. This counters single crit shot builds and mass corrosion, but leaves the unit vulnerable to other builds. - "Enemy Nullifiers" are reworked into Isolated Internals. Isolated Internals item cuts 50% of any status effects damage. This should be enough to discourage players from focusing on the wrong target, yet will allow finishing a wounded Sentinel with status effects. - "Armor Penetration" removed from the game. - Armor values reduced. Item Balance: - Immobilize items nerfed severely to no longer be able to lock enemies in place indefinitely. Still should be a good 'panic button'. - Broadsword has Immobilize and does not have a huge CD. It is prone to overheat though. - "Javelin" and "Brazier" have a new ability: bonus damage depending on your current heat. - "Laser Cannon", "Horus", and "Rapier" have a new ability: stacking damage bonus, similar to the one "Acarids" have. Each time they are fired, they gain a bit of damage up to a maximum. - "Crucible" now applies part of your current heat on the attack. - "Abolisher" now deals insane amounts of damage, but has a huge CD and applies heat just by having it equipped. - "Improved Sensor" now provides an additional bonus during enemy turns. This should buff return fire builds. - "Welding Kit" now heals slightly less, but also reduces heat by 15. - "Cooling Kit" now reduces heat by 30. - "Rend cannon" is now also increasing damage whenever a status effect damages an enemy. - "Acid Suppressor" now apply both, Corruption and Internal Damage. - "Internal Damage" damage reduced to 15%. Player Units: - Couple of talents reshuffle. "Mechanic" + "Oppressor" Internal Damage combo is gone. - All Immobilize talents are replaced with other options. - All Armor "Penetration" talents are replaced with other options. Enemies: - "Pretorians" now have "Dominator" Armor and got the T2 variant. - "Armored Spiders" renamed to "Heavy Spiders". They have Isolated Internals to make them tankier against status effects. - "Bulwarks" and "Suppressors" have static armor. - "Suppressors" now apply "Armor Breach" instead of Interference - "Orions" now apply "Lingering Heat" on the attack. They've got more armor, and apply heat to the attackers. - "Sentinels" apply "Unstable Current" and "Damaged Sensors" on the attack. - "Devastators" increase main gun damage by 1 each turn. Each time they are attacked they apply "Unstable Current". Any damage dealt to them is capped at 40. Featuring a new T3 model as well. - "Overlord" applies Interference on attacks and has status effects damage reduction. - "Assailant" has 50% status effect damage reduction. - "Attack", "health", "max heat", and armor values tweaked for a lot of enemies. Lower difficulty levels should be more forgiving now. - "Repairman" and "Operators" can now either move or heal, but not both. "Repair Kit" now has CD 2. Oher changes: - Very Easy difficulty made easier. - UI shows the number of turns left for status effects.
