### 5/5 — アプデありがとう

*2024-07-13, version 1.0.8*

去年まで、もうアップデートされることはないんだろうかと残念に思ってたけど
最近アプデするようになって嬉しいです
新ステージとかキャラとか増えたんで今後もプレイしていきます

### 5/5 — 新ステージ追加する予定はありますか？

*2023-10-01, version 1.0.6*

全ユニットと武器を解放する段階までプレイしました。

どの要素を優先して強化するかを吟味したり、
ステージ攻略が進展するたびに基地が賑やかになったり、
プレイするたびに地形が変わる無限回廊に挑んだり、
やり込み要素が色々とあって楽しめています。

なので、今後のアップデートで新ステージが追加されるかどうかが気になります。
