Hi Defenders,

Version 0.9.5 of Banshee Force just dropped with lots of cool changes. One of the first new features are 5 additional levels with 3 cities to defend at one time. Remember at any time you can select these levels from the menu screen and try defending all 3 cities at once. They appear as levels 16-20.

New Upgrades Added in this Update

More powerful upgrades were added to the list of upgrades.


Green Stealth Enemy

As you see in the upgrades there is a new green stealth enemy that will appear in some levels. Both the enemy and the missiles shot from the enemy will disappear. You can guess where the enemy might be hiding but your automated towers will not be able to target the stealth enemy or missiles if they don't have the target stealth upgrade.

Time Warp Field Tower

This release also has a new tower called the time warp field tower. This tower will create a field above it that will slow ships as they fly through the field. You can use this to your advantage to make ships easier to hit by hand shot missiles or automatically shot missiles from your towers. Your missiles are not slowed by this time warp effect.

Tower Upgrade Icon Indicators

The more upgrades that are added to the game the harder it is to know what you have upgraded on each tower. This release adds little upgrade indicators that match the graphics in each upgrade above a tower each time an upgrade is applied. It can help you remember which upgrades are applied to each tower as you are planning on how you want to spend all your earned money.

I hope you enjoy these updates as we are getting close to the 1.0 release of Banshee Force. The plan is to have more more feature update with some final cleanup of the game and then get it ready for 1.0 release.

Hi Defenders,

Version 0.9.4 just dropped of Banshee Force and lots of new features have been added. The big feature of this release is the "Banshee Fighter". A new tower has been added called the Banshee Hanger. Inside this hanger is a Banshee Fighter.

Once you build a Banshee Hanger you can summon your Banshee Fighter with a new command on your right controller that lights up. The Banshee Fighter will automatically fly out and teleport to your left hand. At this point you can move your left hand and fly the fighter and shoot for up to 60 seconds anything in the area. You can choose to land the fighter or after 60 seconds it will land itself automatically.

New Upgrades Added

A lot of upgrades were added to increase the power of your towers.


Game Localization

Initial location has been added to Banshee Force and the Achievements in all the Steam supported languages. If you switch to another language and find any issues with the translations, please let us know if you know the correct translation for the English text.

Red Elite Enemy

Also, rumors are true that in later levels a new very difficult red class elite enemy will appear. The enemy is much tougher than the blue class enemies and delivers a much bigger punch on your towers and cities. You have been warned.

Things we are considering to do in .5 are the following

• Stealth enemies
  
• Stealth enemy missiles
  
• Tower upgrades to see stealth
  
• A new 3 island challenge
  
• Possibly upgraded graphics on shields

The next version might take a while as we update to deal with changes to Steam VR 2.0 and support more headsets also.

Note, we haven't seen anyone able to get past the first 8 levels at normal difficulty without starting at a later level.
