Full release is coming closer and closer and we’re still in the process of improving Elemental War!

Highlights

With update 0.9.16 everything in-game can be used with controller now. Besides that we added menu music and the possibility to play multiplayer even without a Clockwork account.

Controller Support

With 0.9.16 it is possible now to play every game mode also with controller. This works pretty good. There is just one problem in combination with Steam that we’ll have to figure out.

Multiplayer

The multiplayer got two improvements. First we added some tutorial infos there. This should help to understand what to do when playing the Clash Mode.
The other thing is that we added the possibility to play Clash Mode now also without a Clockwork account. That way we remove a barrier for newcomers, even though players without an account won’t get experience points and can’t buy skills and so will run into problems in the long term.
