Tango Fiesta Game Banner
Genre: Action, Indie
Developer: Spilt Milk Studios Ltd
Release Date: Thu, 24 Sep 2015
The day has finally arrived! We’ve launched straight out of Early Access, there’s a MASSIVE launch discount (particularly the 4 pack) and a ton of new content! Read on for details...

To be specific:

Tango Fiesta is now v1.0! It is no longer in Early Access, but in Steam as a full product!

We’re doing a launch week deal where the game is 33% off! And we’ve reduced the price of the 4 pack so low that you can get it for less than twice the price of the single game!

We’ve updated the game with World 5 - fighting through the toxic rust belt of future Detroit, alongside Bionic Cop! So that’s 3 new levels, a brand new boss fight, 3 new weapons, 7 new enemies and some environmental hazards to fight against!

We’ve unlocked the full story mode! Just play the game as you normally would to experience the true story behind all your favourite 80’s action movies!

But that’s not all. We’re too stuck in the Early Access mindset to leave it be. There’s a ton of stuff we’d like to release into the game over the coming weeks, and here are some of the highlights you can look forward to!

Linux build!

Soon. We’d rather release it as bug free as possible, so we’re holding off for the moment.

New objective types!

We know some of you play the game so much you already want to see new challenges, so Hostage Rescue, Intel Hunt and more will be added to the game across every level, mixing into that procedural goodness.

New Game Plus!

Again you guys and gals keep tearing through it, so we’ll make sure you can keep playing and the game will just get harder and harder. Let’s sort the men from the boys and the women from the girls - we might even throw in a few twists to keep it really interesting.

Steam Workshop!

We’ve been trying to make sure this is bug free, but we’re just not happy releasing it at the moment. As soon as we are, you’ll be able to create your own heroes and play as them online and off, as well as share them with other players via steam!

More cool stuff!

Want a new gun? Or a new hero? Or even a new level based on your favourite movie? Why not suggest it in the discussion forums right now - we’re incredibly open to suggestions!

Some of these we promised from the start, others are ideas we’ve had brewing for ages - and we can’t wait to get all of them into your hands as soon as we can! Meanwhile, the trailer’s on the store page above here!

Now back to normal, here’s the details of the changes that you can expect to see, compared to the last Early Access update we did.

CHANGELIST!



Brand New


Full story mode that stretches across every single one of the 20 levels.
3 new levels, including PUKE, a toxic hazard that could ruin your day.
7 new enemies, from the knife wielding Punks to the homing-RPG toting Riot Police, and even horrendous experiments gone rogue!
3 new weapons. The handy Muzzletite Puppy, the explosive Rocket Launcher and the poisonous Sludge Grenade. Unlock them through playing the new Bionic Cop world!
1 new boss. But we’ll keep him a secret. He’s the final boss!
