1C Entertainment and Conglomerate 451 developer RuneHeads release the largest Early Access update to their grid-based, cyberpunk dungeon crawler yet.

During the past two months, RuneHeads have been working hard on improving the game by adding a series of key features and gameplay changes, such as the much-anticipated story mode, expanded loot system, new areas and characters, new intro, and much more.

What’s new in today’s update:

  • REM (REsources Module) System: After defeating an enemy there is a chance it will drop a REM, a collection of resources and items

  • Plugins: A new item type that can be installed in Cypher Decks to modify an Agent’s Combat Hacking skills
  • Further balancing of the game
  • Tons of major and minor fixes

About Conglomerate 451:

Set in a city overrun with corrupt corporations, assemble a squad of cloned agents in a bid to restore order to sector 451. From altering your agents’ DNA and installing ability-granting neural implants, to equipping them with powerful cyberlimbs and literally hacking the world around you mid-conflict, you’ll need to take every advantage you can get. Not only will agents lost in battle lose all their previous progress, starting again as a fresh clone, but even basic wounds can have a lasting impact on your agents, evolving into permanent disadvantages

Conglomerate 451 is out now on Steam Early Access, with a full launch planned for later this year.
