  Crossroad Update - Demo Patch #2

  With this patch, we're bringing you the ability to choose your path and encounter random events through our new CROSSROAD feature. We also completely reworked the final invasion levels, changed the butterfly effects, created new agent traits, added achievements, and implemented quality of life features. Message from the developers As we approach Steam Next Fest and our Early Access launch, we've been looking into improving replayability even more, making each mission unique with its own twists and turns. Divergence was already great at that, but now with the Crossroad, players will be able to choose their path and encounter even more unique outcomes. Another key aspect that was missing was allowing players to get a sense of the difficulty and the meta. Previously, there was no way for players to easily compare themselves to others and correctly evaluate their performance against a given difficulty. Now that should be possible with the newly added Leaderboard. We also added a feature that lets you inspect leaderboard entries to see their squad composition and gear. It should help newer players learn synergies and good team compositions. Following these improvements, we are confident in the strength and stability of our core gameplay systems. Going forward we'll mostly be focusing on adding new content, polishing the game, and balancing. Demo Patch #2 Crossroad 5 times per mission, you'll arrive at a special location with a crossroad. Crossroad allows you to pick a special destination that triggers an event. Some events give an instant reward while others change the next level. Each event has a custom visual and fantasy themed around the historical period you're in. You're guaranteed to encounter at least 2 accessory events during a mission. Includes a tie-breaker mechanism: if players vote for different destinations, the choice is resolved with a random roll. Crossroad divergence is turned off for now, but will be added in the future. We might tweak the amount and ru...

  Demo Patch #1: Divergence, Gadgets, Item Compare & Guides

  In this patch, we are introducing the new Divergence system, a complete gadget rework, balancing adjustments, improved visuals, and a bunch of onboarding improvements. Message from the developers It's been great watching you play Gear Up Einstein since we released our first playable demo back in April. We're thrilled to see the positive response and glad to be overwhelmed with feedbacks. Keep it coming! After reading all your comments and reports, we've been hard at work making a bunch of adjustments. On top of that, we've been cooking up cool new features, some of which are releasing with this patch (e.g., Divergence). Overall, the amount of new content is on the smaller side, but that's because we're solidifying the foundations for the crazy updates we plan to release next. A developer update video will be dropping shortly to tease what we're working on and what's next for Gear Up Einstein! Demo Patch #1 Divergence After each mission, the timeline divergence increases. Higher divergence levels increase the chance of items and entities from other eras appearing. Divergent elements are identified by a purple visual effect. Beware: combat difficulty remains the same even if divergent elements are slightly stronger than what you usually encounter Gadget Rework Removed gadget loadout customization before starting missions. You now have a gadget inventory during missions. The Nuclear Machine automatically generates nuclear energy and creates a random gadget whenever it reaches its maximum capacity. Note that the Nuclear Machine cannot create a gadget if your inventory is currently full. All gadgets are now stronger and have a much larger impact on battle outcomes. Gadgets are now unlocked through your personal progression. Item Compare While your character panel is open, hovering over an item will automatically display a comparison between what your character has equipped and the hovered item. By default, the comparison doesn't show all details. Use the Inspect action t...
