Action Square Launches Shooting Action Game 'Anvil 1.0' on Steam: "Continuous Development of New Content"

‘Anvil (ANVIL)’, developed by Action Square and serviced by global publisher HIKE, will officially launch version 1.0 on Steam at 11 AM on the 27th.

Anvil is a roguelike top-down shooting action game where multiple players cooperate by selecting various characters to progress through stages. Since its Steam Early Access release in 2021, it has attracted significant attention from global gamers.

The official release of Anvil 1.0 incorporates diverse feedback from users who played the Steam Early Access version and adds a large amount of new content. New features include a tutorial process for first-time players and an operator system. Through the virtual operator that guides the game via voice, new users can play the game more easily.

Additionally, a highly anticipated PvP (player versus player) mode has been newly introduced. This content allows 1-on-1 matches against other players, where the winner is the first to defeat the opponent three times. Furthermore, a new breaker called ‘Valkyrie’ has appeared, capable of summoning giant robots to deal explosive damage or hacking to provide beneficial effects to allies, making it versatile in various ways.

The basic gameplay framework is similar to the previous Early Access version, but the official version offers a more refined play experience with higher combat immersion. Large-scale balance adjustments and UX (user experience) and UI (user interface) overhauls have significantly reduced player fatigue.

Son Won-ho, the lead PD of Anvil’s development, stated, “We have released the official version 1.0 of Anvil by reflecting feedback from users who played the Early Access version over the past two years,” and added, “We will continue to develop new content through collaborations with other content.”
