It’s been some time now since we last posted an update here about our plans for Act of Aggression. But don’t worry, we haven’t moved away from the game. Quite the contrary.

When we started working on this project, our goal was to bring back the “old-school” flavor that made us love RTS games, combined with more modern and original features. With Steam customer reviews rating Act of Aggression at ~66%, we have left behind one-third of our fans. It isn’t something we’re satisfied with, and we are not planning to let it be that way.
We remain dedicated to the same goal we started with.

Thanks to today’s ease of delivering patches and content to keep games alive, we had the opportunity to take Act of Aggression back to the drawing board. And that’s exactly what we have been doing. We’ve been busy identifying the reasons behind the less positive reviews: what we did wrong, what we failed to deliver, and what was expected from us. And, more importantly, what could be done about it.

So here we are, (almost) ready to deliver this massive overhaul. However, we won’t release this Reboot Edition as a regular patch, as it may change AoA too much for those happy with its current iteration. Instead, it will be made available (for free) to every owner of Act of Aggression, to switch between as they see fit.

There are too many changes coming to list here in their entirety. Instead, we’ve summed up just a few of the major ones here, which we will detail in a devblog soon:
- Single-resource economy.
- Improved unit reactivity.
- Unit facelifts.
- Up-front payments for construction.
- and many more ...

We believe all the effort we’ve put into Act of Aggression: Reboot Edition will address most, if not all, the complaints made about the game at release. Before releasing this edition officially, it will be made available on a Steam test branch for anyone willing to try it and give us feedback!

Stay tuned for more details!
