Full list of changes and additions is at the bottom of this post.

What's next?
MKN will now be in the maintenance phase, so no new major updates are planned. I will be monitoring feedback for major bug reports and will try to fix them in small updates. You can also expect a few new parts in occasional content drops. Thank you for every single feedback and bug report so far - you helped me make this game better.

The story doesn't end here.

MKN2 will be officially under development starting this coming Monday! Ethan and humanity's struggle will continue. I will be working hard to create a bigger and better sequel in every way possible. There are many new features I want to add such as melee weapons, loadout saving, and different leg types. The list is long. You can expect an update here as soon as the MKN2 store page is ready, hopefully by the end of the year.

If you would like to support my endeavor financially, please consider purchasing available DLCs; each purchase helps to increase my budget. Please feel free to let me know what you would like to see in the sequel. Many of the features in MKN came from community suggestions.

And thank you again, you give me the energy to keep working with determination!

Hello knights!
I'm finalizing my work on patch 1.6 and the Raid Map Pack DLC . There are a few new unique weapons and parts coming to the game in the free update.

GEM-40 Artemis

A unique Tier 3 lock-on missile launcher. Projectiles aim for their targets and, when a hit is ensured, fire a chemical laser which causes an instantaneous explosion on the target.



ALC-01 Havo

The first laser assault rifle, similar to ELC-01 Sunstorm and SR-01 Surya, causes instant explosions on the target, though with a much higher firing rate and precision.



A lot of you asked for a nuke, but NATO is still hesitant to use them. However, there are new experimental weapons coming that will come close to it:

NV-30 Lena


This is a Tier 3 plasma bomb launcher. Fires projectiles with an experimental explosive warhead that creates a huge plasma ball on impact, dealing damage over a large area for a few seconds. The explosion is strong enough to damage your mech so watch out.



LPM-1 Aurora
This is a Tier 2 cruise missile version with the same plasma warhead.


There will also be a new Tier 3 torso, MF-122 Eclipse, that will come in a few variants including one with four built-in coaxial gatlings.

Thank you for your ongoing feedback and issue reports. I try to keep track of them. Patch 1.6 will include new fixes and improvements. The item list on the victory screen will now show up to 250 picked-up items on a scrolled list. Also, as mentioned, you will be able to choose any drop tier on any raid map.

If you are interested in getting the upcoming DLC with 5 new raid maps or would like to support me in my endeavor to create a better and bigger sequel, please consider adding it to your wishlist here:

More news coming soon.

Hello!

Mecha Knights: Nightmare is getting a second DLC - the Raid Map Pack. This pack will contain five completely new raid maps, including farm fields, oil fields, small towns, and an underground base!

The DLC will be released along with a patch that includes improvements, fixes, and free new T3 parts.
You will now be able to choose item drop tiers in each raid map, with higher tier drops becoming available as you progress through the main campaign. There will also be new challenging threats in the later raid waves. My goal is to add more replayability, allowing you to hunt for any item tier on your favorite maps, while I will be working on a bigger and better sequel!

The DLC will be released in June or July and will be priced at $5 USD.

You can wishlist the DLC here:
