    Funktronic Labs has just rolled out another surprise update for The Light Brigade. The move to version 3.0, dubbed ‘Shadow Hunter,’ has the potential to be the most significant update yet, adding a host of enhancements and new content to the fan-favorite roguelike shooter. Available today across PSVR2, Steam, and Meta Quest platforms, this free update brings a new level, new buffs, and a new character class that fundamentally changes the game.

    Central to the ‘Shadow Hunter’ update is the introduction of the Hunter class, a master of stealth, wielding a recurve bow and equipped with throwing knives. This new class promises to significantly alter the gameplay dynamics, steering away from the gun-heavy arsenal players have become accustomed to. This time, Funktronic Labs has opted for a more nuanced approach to combat, possibly drawing some inspiration from another fan favorite. The Meta Quest exclusive, In Death: Unchained, is celebrated for its archery mechanics that seamlessly blend with its roguelike structure, offering players a challenging yet rewarding experience. The Hunter class in The Light Brigade seems to take a page out of In Death’s book, focusing on skill, precision, and strategic planning over brute force.

    Then there’s ‘Sunless Keep,’ a brand new, procedurally generated world that brings an element of unpredictability and intrigue to every session. The design of this world challenges players to adapt their strategies on the fly. It’s like walking into a dark room and trying to find your way around; you never know what’s waiting for you around the corner. Players can also expect a slew of new tarot cards that provide various boosts and abilities, adding even more depth and variety to the game. These enhancements, along with numerous balance tweaks and bug fixes, further refine the experience, making The Light Brigade more replayable than ever before.

    While The Light Brigade was already a can’t miss experience with its mix of light magic, roguelike elements and vintage firearms, the shift towards more skill-based combat could attract an all new audience to the game. Rather than merely expanding its arsenal, this update transforms the game by offering players a new way to engage, further cementing its place as one of the best that VR has to offer.

    The Light Brigade - Shadow Hunter UPDATE (AVAILABLE NOW)

    The Light Brigade is available now for $24.99 on Meta Quest 2/3, Steam VR, and PlayStation VR2.
