Co-operative starship mishap sim Leap House simply acquired the primary main replace of its early entry section, bringing each purposeful capitalism and a surprisingly fulfilling trio of melee weapons. The previous takes the form of newly opened merchandise retailers at your property base, supplying you with an opportunity to refill on weapons, restore kits, or artifact buffs earlier than transport out on a mission. And, having thwacked a number of bots with the latter, I’m liking how worthy they’re of a treasured weapon slot, even in a recreation beforehand arrange completely for gunplay.
In addition to their beneficiant impression injury, the newly added wrench, crowbar, and sci-fi Heatblade sword can – with a well timed block – deflect laser blasts again on the mechanoid dickhead who fired them. Sure, Leap House now has parrying, which I’m conscious in 2025 is the motion recreation equal of claiming wow, this technique recreation’s acquired deckbuilding in it. However I nonetheless assume these three hittin’ sticks are good additions, for 2 causes: one, they add a wanted further dimension to Leap House’s in any other case simplistic taking pictures, and two, it’s merely a proper previous chortle to carry out laser-bouncing ninja nonsense with what’s outwardly a totally mundane pipe wrench.
Principally: Oh, good. Why that’s excellent. Sure, I like that.
The retailers aren’t as fascinating, although I think about the flexibility to rapidly instrument again up with primary weapons would possibly take some sting out of dropping your upgraded arsenal in a failed run. Talking of which, the patch notes additionally share a few of Souvenir Video games’ considering on tools permanence: briefly, it doesn’t sound like they’re including the (apparently much-requested) choice to stash favorite weapons for safekeeping, although the plan is to make higher-tier loot spawns extra frequent. “This may make good weapons frequent sufficient that hugging your MK3 for expensive life will not be gamers’ prime precedence,” the submit explains.
Again within the current, this replace additionally provides a handful of mission modifiers, probably throwing in but extra baddie spaceships to dogfight or further salvaging alternatives, in addition to somewhat Hallowe’en occasion involving the fetch-questing of pumpkins. Your reward? One other pumpkin, particularly one to put on in your head. It presumably nonetheless protects you towards the vacuum of house, not like those they’ve in Tesco.
Leap House nonetheless has a number of early entry leaping to do. Nothing right here fixes its greatest difficulty of mission and surroundings repetition, which is able to want fixing if it’s to have actual legs. This patch appears like a fairly adequate begin, although.
