Ember Joins the Fight!! Version 0.4.0 is Live!
A new challenger has crash-landed...
EMBER from Hyper Team Recon joins the fight!
As Duels of Fortune's second guest fighter, she uses her slimy nature and shapeshifting abilities to create her own extremely unique fighting style! Slip, slide, and teleport around the stage, and use Ember's signature Spin Attack to take the opponent's form and copy their moves! With her special copying gimmick, movement-focused playstyle, and lots of built-in synergy between attacks, there's no shortage of fun to be had with this brand-new fighter!
Additionally, Ember comes with two costumes of her own, new Hyper Team Recon-themed costumes for Annie and Black Heart, new Missions, and a brand-new stage, the Iced Caps, featuring its own unique hazard and music track!
Hyper Team Recon is not fully released yet, but a demo of the game is available to try for free via the Paper Power Demo Disc Vol. 1, and an updated demo will soon be available on Steam! Go try it out!
Ember was a ton of fun to make, so we hope you enjoy playing as her just as much as we enjoyed working on her!
