Door Kickers Alpha 6!

Update6

Hello, Door Kickers!

We took a little jump ahead in time and here’s Alpha 6. Shotguns inside. And suppressed SMGs. Need we say more? Download, as usual, using the link you first received during purchase or just use your Steam key.

As we were saying above, with Alpha 6 you have the option to run 2 new trooper classes – the Breacher and the Stealth trooper. Fear not, the Stealth has no fancy cloaking devices, just a suppressed weapon that can open a silent and deadly path through the level. Warning: stopping power is not always on the suppressed SMGs side 😉

The Breacher class, on the other hand, is all about blasting your way. Doors, enemies, they all come down, if you pattern your shots correctly. Handy for opening locks when time is short, but not really good for long range accurate shots.

With Alpha 6 we’re also taking the first step towards a real Mission Editor. Give it a try. Expect walls drawing – true walls creation – not so far in the future.

There’s also a bunch of tweaks that happen regarding aiming speed and the way troopers prosecute targets, especially after passing doors and obstacles. They’re still deadly, but a little more realistic so. We advise you to rely on handguns when expecting encounters at close range, but the truth is we’re not designing another Rock-Scissor-Paper game. So tell us how it works for you. Write back.

Or even better, come over to the forums and join the discussion. Vote on features. Win contests. It’s a lot of fun.
