Element Studios, the developer of Element TD 2 , released a new update bringing new maps and lots of cool stuff. All the FFA and Teams maps get alternative versions, which means the dev team added eight new maps in total. These variations are slightly more difficult compared to the original maps, as it consists of several paths. The Ranked level requirement is now level 15 to make it easier for players.
The developers have also made changes to help the end-game lag. One of these is disabling the VFX rendering off-screen. New graphical options, such as Anisotropic Filter, shadows, and AO quality, have been included to make the game look better.
