Balance changes, new languages and cross-play with 8-Bit Hordes!
It's been a crazy week getting 8-Bit Armies updated at the same time as finishing 8-Bit Hordes. This latest update to 8-Bit Armies includes the ability to cross-play with 8-Bit Hordes players which should make it easier to find online matches. There are also a number of balance changes to address feedback on the campaign and multiplayer, and also to level the playing field against the new Hordes factions, the Lightbringers and Deathsworn.
We are also happy to announce that the game now supports French, Russian, Brazilian-Portuguese and Simplified Chinese languages! Just like when we added German, if you see an issue with an incorrectly localized word or some UI that doesn't look right in a particular language then please let us know.
As always, we appreciate your feedback and support!
