Happy Birthday Strike Force Heroes!

It’s hard to believe, but on November 10th, Strike Force Heroes is officially turning ONE! I can already hear it saying it's first words... *In baby voice* "Kill Globex!" We want to take a moment to thank you, the incredible community for making this year and everything about the game what it is. Your feedback, passion, and support have been the driving force behind everything we’ve done so far! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42755219/f6576753912ba629109784916aac5e11c9387a4d.png (Drawn by Community Member & Mod: Riggs) Before we continue, lets take a look back on where Strike Force Heroes first began, and how far we've come!

A walk down Memory Lane

The First Trailer

What seems like forever ago, we launched a teaser trailer followed by the first real look at Strike Force Heroes:

The Last Trailer

Over 11 years later we released the full release of the remake. Seeing them side by side is just crazy! Neither of us ever expected to see the game at this level of detail -- and with multiplayer?? *Mind: Blown*. But here we are, just as excited about SFH as we were 11 years ago!

Number 1 Community

Strike Force Heroes has developed such an incredible community, it's honestly mind boggling. With such incredible people creating such a massive collection of beautiful artwork we had so much content to make a pretty cool Collab video! For most games, a collab video like this would never even be possible, so it's such an honor to be part of such an amazing community! Thank you all, once again!

Console Porting

Console development is officially underway! That means soon you'll be able to play the game on all the major platforms:

• Steam
• Nintendo Switch
• Playstation 5
• Xbox Series X

(The online play will be respective to each console) {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42755219/1900f8bf3da3c1a650332c5a1c23137548d12b0c.png As always, thank you for your continuing support and love for the game!

Hey heroes! After a long process of upgrading & fixing & upgrading & fixing the game for console development, we've finally got it back to a stable state for more updates! This update fixes a few more smaller issues, as well as removing the server browser which just gave wrong impressions to many people. v1.29

Changes

Strike Force Heroes is and always was; a story-based game intended to be enjoyed solo or with friends. As all playerbases naturally decline, we've decided to remove the server browser. It just feels bad when not many games are available, and sometimes does more harm than good. - Online server browser removed. (But party codes can still be used with as many people as you like)

Fixes

- Players who experienced Outfit issues with the Ninja DLC should now find it working properly. - Daily mission no longer shows incorrect text during the pause menu. - Custom games no longer show bonus objectives on the pause menu. - Custom games no longer display star ratings in the post-game screen {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42755219/1900f8bf3da3c1a650332c5a1c23137548d12b0c.png Anyway, enough patch notes -- time for some ol' fasioned GlobeX slayin!

Hey heroes! After some traumatic personal events, I've taken a step away from online development for a while, and thus was not aware of this bug until recently, nor able to fix it until now. This small update fixes a bug where specific Story/Cameo characters no longer have their unique loadouts. v1.27 - Fixed a longstanding bug where the story Heroes have randomized costumes and weapons - Fixed a longstanding bug where the story Heroes ignore the first weapon in gungame Edit: v1.28 - Fixed an issue caused by v1.27 where bots did not appear in custom games (they were looking for their story loadouts, which didn't exist)

<3 Your friendly neighborhood SFH programmer, Justin

Hey heroes! After it's been a hot minute (1 month!) but we've noticed a number of serious bugs in the game that were introduced in the Ninja DLC. So we're put together a mega update with not only a ton of serious bug fixes, but also a number of huge balance changes to bonus objectives, missions and overall gameplay! This update should make the overall experience feel much smoother, and less unfairly difficult at times. v1.26

<3 Sky9 Games

While the game was meant to be played among friends, the party list makes it possible to play with strangers, however lately many players have been hacking their game to get items they shouldn't have, This mini update addresses many of those issues by removing items that players should normally not be able to obtain. The full rundown are below! v1.22 - Removes skills being used from other classes they don't belong to - Removes boss/challenge weapons from players inventories - Changes unreleased DLC classes back to normal class - Removes unreleased DLC items from players inventories - Removes outfits that players do not own (DLC/Kickstarter/etc) - Plus a few other minor changes to reduce hacking. And as always, I'll continue to monitor and make adjustments as the game needs! <3 Sky9 Games

Thank you all for actively providing feedback on the game since its release. We're hard at work updating the game and are rolling out the biggest change yet! The XP system has been significantly altered to allow lower level players the ability to level up much faster against higher level enemies in addition to teammates sharing a portion of XP from kills. We know that a number of players have expressed concerns about the game's difficulty being too high and so we have altered the difficulty of some of the maps, added some much needed ammo and health pickups, and enhanced the XP given from certain enemies. In addition to that, we have created a difficulty survey and hope that you can take 5 minutes to fill it out as your feedback will help shape the game! Survey Link: https://forms.gle/6L3jALz3vARrAJQ6A Thank you for your support! <3 Justin & Mike

v1.12 hotfix - Fixed a huntress hologram bug introduced in v1.11 Heya Heroes! Another big update here with a buttload of fixes! So, it turns out all of the enemy stats were locked at level 30, so now they'll hit much harder at higher levels. I've also spent the last few days converting the game's code to make it more secure.

It was truly a labor of love to revisit this classic Flash game and bring it to a new audience.

But it's not just the same, we've rebuilt it from scratch to have a brand new story, with new cutscenes, new gameplay systems, and for the first time ever: online multiplayer! We hope you have as much fun playing it as we had making it and we will continue to support it with updates, patches, DLC and much more. Strike Force Heroes is back!
