Skyshine's BEDLAM - REDUX - Update is live

[HiddenX]

The REDUX version of Skyshine's BEDLAM is coming with a lot of enhancements:

REDUX! Update is Live!

We're very excited to inform everyone that the REDUX! update for Skyshine's BEDLAM is now live! After listening to everyone's feedback over the last 6 months and slowly evolving the game, we believe this is the best iteration yet! It's been a total labor of love and we hope y'all enjoy playing it as much as we've had working on it!

We will be showcasing Skyshine's BEDLAM:REDUX at SXSW Gaming Expo at the Austin Convention Center March 17th through the 19th! Come see us at booth #629! We will be giving away a bunch of BEDLAM gear, tons of posters and promotional items to our fans while supplies last!

New battle mechanics

•Squad based tactics with 2AP (Action Points) per unit with each team being able to use any or all of their units per turn!!!! It is what everyone has been asking for!
•Movement will cost 1AP
•Attacking without moving will cost 2AP and inflict 100% damage
•Moving and then attacking will cost 1AP and inflict 60% damage
•Weapon powercell cost slightly reduced to encourage more usage
•Added 'End Turn' option
•In Arcade play, Blitz has been reworked to be more fun
•Option added in Settings to turn on original 2AP per team rules

Gameplay

•Improved A.I.
•Play as EACH FACTION! If you ever wondered what it would be like to fight as a crew of Mutants or Cyborgs or even mixed... now you can!
•Each Dozer now has a "leader" Elite!
•You can now choose your crew complement (want to start with an Elite and fewer rookies?)
•Reworked Campaign mode NO more is the goal to just get to Aztec City...collect the four lost relics to help ensure victory over the self-proclaimed overlord of Bedlam! And can you liberate Bedlam of all the ruthless factions and restore order in the wasteland?
•Reworked Arcade mode! Can you make it to Aztec City on a set course, with no side missions, lots of obstacles and no Dozer management? If you do, one of the four new Dozers awaits!
•Improved Events. Lots of event options now affect the state and level of danger in Bedlam!
•Added some variety to existing events and reduced the overall number of clicks through events.
•Revamped threat level system: Not only do events affect the threat level but so does battle outcomes! Your choices now matter more.
•Marauder Rush ability added to Enemy and Crew Marauders
•Gunslinger Return Fire ability much improved

New Content

•New character sprites for all faction crewmembers!
•72 new rookie and veteran crewmembers!!!
•5 new Dozers, one for each faction!
•5 new Elites, including The Mechanic!
•BEDLAMIZED NAMES!! When one of the new faction crewmembers are added to your Dozer at launch, they pull their nicknames randomly from a huge list of names based on many of our backer's real names and suggestions!
•Many new events added and a random outcome system implemented
•Battlefields have been revisited to resize, re-layout and reposition for maximum awesomeness

General changes

•Reduced memory footprint of all animations
•Bug fixes galore
•Dozer travel and transport animations reduced for better performance
•Sometimes during Dozer travel the game no longer freezes (bug fix)
•Battle resource pickups (in Arcade mode) have been repositioned so they are more attainable
•New tutorials are being worked on!

Whoa! Lots of changes.

We definitely can't say the devs left this game alone and ran for the hills like the group did with AntharioN, because Bedlam devs dutifully followed through many changes.

Best new feature is play any race from beginning!

Completely off-topic question: wouldn't you recommend AntharioN then ? It is on my Steam wishlist!

 

[SonOfCapiz]

Will be checking this out. I thought the game had a lot of potential and looked good on paper but fell short in practice. Hopefully, they'll reach the sweet spot with this update

Antharion isn't bad, but the devs did basically disappear shortly after release.

 

[Silver]

This game is back on my wishlist.

Was extremely disappointed about Bedlam at release. I am glad they listened to feedback and changed a lot. Looking forward to play it again after Easter.

Maybe it's even good enough that I would finally wear the Bedlam Shirt and put up the Poster I ordered before release.

I have seriously gotten into the habit of not touching any modern game until a year after it's release because some kind of enhanced or vastly improved version will pop up.

Hah, yeah.

Currently in my todo list:
Bedlam - as mentioned here
The Age of Decadence - Several Content Patches were announced
-Darkest Dungeon - On Release new Content like additional quests in town were announced
-Fallout 4 - Season Pass and stuff
-Heroes of Steel - Is still regularily patched and new content added. In addition they sometimes vastly improve the game with patches
Reals of Arkania: Blade of Destiny - Probably has reached it's best version now, however there is still a chance it gets some updates after startrail is done.

You forgot to mention original sin, wasteland 2 and Shadowrun. I don't wait a year but I wait until at least the third major patch. I have 2018 reserved for the enhanced edition of Numenera.

I actually played these already...and will therefore never experience the benefits of the patches...
