A new DLC for Red Solstice 2: Survivors called the Howell-Barrex Inc. is now available. There is a wealth of new additions from this DLC, such as a new class and a new mech.
New Content
There is a new class in this top-down strategy game called the Engineer. This multi-talented individual provides you with new tactical options that can help you keep invaders at bay. Among these are the ability to create electric walls and flamethrower turrets.
For those who want to bring the pain, the new UBAS mech is the right one for you. This combat exoskeleton has plenty of firepower to destroy anything in its path. It is also tanky, so you can just go to the middle of the battlefield without worries as this thing can take the hit.
New Features
Along with the DLC comes the “Mechanical Man” update that introduces new features and improvements. Going to your missions is no longer as daunting as before as the developers included some tactical info for each one. You can now see what type of enemies you may encounter and some useful details that may help you plan accordingly.
If the game is too easy for you, then the Overlord might change that. Available on the highest difficulty setting, this ultra boss can spawn on the later stages of the campaign and may pose a significant challenge to anyone brave enough to face it. So, if you think you have what it takes, then battle it with everything you’ve got.
