The Light Brigade receives extensive 4.0 update "Phantom of Time"
The VR roguelike The Light Brigade is getting new content with the 4.0 update "Phantom of Time", including an additional class, a new ability, and a new map.
Developer Funktronic Labs has released the 4.0 update "Phantom of Time" for its VR roguelike The Light Brigade. It is now available for PSVR 2, Steam and Meta Quest.
New features include the Saboteur class, a gunslinger with the new "Timepiece" ability. This allows you to disguise yourself, create a double of yourself to evade enemies, tactically reposition yourself, or outwit opponents.
There is also a new procedurally generated map, Memorial Grounds, which depicts a military crypt destroyed by war. Once a burial ground for honored soldiers, the place has been overrun by the chaos of war. Now it's time to uncover the secrets hidden within the ruins.
The update also includes numerous balance improvements and bug fixes.
The Light Brigade: Continuous improvements since release
The Light Brigade puts you in the role of humanity's last line of defense. The VR game features realistic, physics-based gunplay inspired by World War I weapons.
