IronFall Invasion surpasses 300,000 downloads

Posted on 9 years ago by Kirara Koneko(@KiraraKoneko) in 3DS eShop, News | 15 Comments

3DS eShop title IronFall Invasion has now surpassed 300,000 downloads.

There is now an update available that adds quite a bit of new features to the game.

New features for all players:

In the Controls menu of the game’s settings, the “Aim Sensitivity” and “Camera Sensitivity” sliders have been expanded with more increments to allow for finer tuning according to the player’s preference.
In Multiplayer: in the “free-for-all” game mode, players who leave a game before the end have their score reset.
In Multiplayer: the range of the “shock gun” item has been increased.
In Multiplayer: the damage and bullet statistics of the “grenade launcher”, “explosive rifle” and “shotgun” items have been adjusted accordingly to reflect balance issues noticed in user comments.
In Multiplayer: the respawn algorithm has been improved.
During a sprint, it is now easier to turn left and right.
The U-turn command (pressing back twice) has been improved to decrease involuntary U-turns; it is now necessary to press back twice in a faster way than before.

New features for players that purchased IRONFALL Invasion content:

In Multiplayer: when joining a quick online match, it is possible for players to filter out the “Tanks (Demo)” map from their quick online match search, to allow for more variety in the automatic selection of arenas.
In Multiplayer: players will now remain invincible for 4 seconds when they respawn.
In Multiplayer: players will now also receive credits if they finish in second place.
It is now possible to take cover while sprinting.
There is now an additional lock-on on the vertical (Y) axis in aim mode.

Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures is finally coming to the North American Wii U eShop this coming Thursday. But what about 3DS? Thankfully, we can say with certainty that the game is still planned for the portable as well.

Developer FreakZone Games informed me on Twitter:

@NE_Brian Yessir! Not long!
— FreakZone Games (@FreakZoneGames) March 27, 2015

I also inquired about the possibility of cross-buy support between the Wii U and 3DS versions of Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures. FreakZone sounds hopeful in making that happen!

@NE_Brian I don't know yet, but I hope so.
