Granvir @granvir.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Granvir fully released 1 year ago today! Thanks to your support I've been able to continue working on the game and make it better. Thinking of how far we've come, here's a look at the very first functional build of Granvir from June 2022.

2248

Granvir @granvir.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Granvir is getting an optional and toggleable soft-lock targeting mode next update for those looking for a more Armored Core feel. You'll automatically lock on out to double your targeting range and be a little less accurate than manual mode.

This hand of mine glows with an awesome power... Shining Finger! Its been almost 1 year since Granvir released so I wanted to treat myself to a new part inspired by my favorite Gundam, Shining Gundam.

1215

Granvir @granvir.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

Claymores are getting a one-handed move set in the next Granvir update so you can give your mech the Elden Ring loadout. Unfortunately, jump attacks only boost your cool factor.

0186

Granvir @granvir.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

Here is something nice for the left handed mech pilots. Next update you'll be able to use holsters cross-body so a left side arm can draw from a right side holster. Its very handy for dual wielding mechs too.

0205

Granvir @granvir.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

I wanted to take a break and do something silly so I added the ability to dig the drill lance into the ground to propel your mech.

2187

Granvir @granvir.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

Here's a quick mission with the new procedural terrain deformation. These are just some mild hills but playing with fog of war off feels much more natural now.

0354

Granvir @granvir.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

I expected to see a lot more broomstick looking equipment when I watched Witch from Mercury. I felt a little sad it only really showed up on the Calibarn.

2173

Granvir @granvir.bsky.social · 28/07/2026

The new rocket shields aren't the fastest boost but they still have a lot to offer your melee mech. Block attacks, charge with your lance, boost your melee damage, recover your thrown weapon or equip two for extra strength kicks.

0123

Granvir @granvir.bsky.social · 26/07/2026

Here's Granvir's new rocket sword in action. Releasing the boost starts the swing so you can split enemy mechs in two before they can strike back. Its very satisfying to get the timing right. I got a little carried away and made 7 variants.

0144

Granvir @granvir.bsky.social · 22/07/2026

The new booster back modules will be available across all tiers. Slap a pair of twin tails on your mech, grab a leek and you're ready for melee combat.

1173

Granvir @granvir.bsky.social · 21/07/2026

Its time to expand the back module options.

0102

Granvir @granvir.bsky.social · 18/07/2026

Granvir update 2.40.0 is live with the reactor rework, basic photo mode and a ton more! You can access photo mode in mission after assigning a key to activate it. Use the Steam overlay to grab screenshots. Check out the full patch notes on Steam: store.steampowered.com/news/app/274...

Granvir - Update 2.40.0: Reactor Rework - Steam News

Regular Update

1123

Granvir @granvir.bsky.social · 14/07/2026

I feel like full damage collateral in Granvir has been a bit overbearing. Hitting two enemy mechs is a big boost to DPS and ammo efficiency. Next update I'll be toning down subsequent hit damage but giving penetrating projectiles the ability to punch through handheld shields.

1130

Granvir @granvir.bsky.social · 07/07/2026

Many have asked for improved kick mechanics in Granvir. Next update kicks will deal more damage, apply mutual pushback and can be used while sliding or grappling. Baseline leg kicks will be about as useful as a punch but the right build can make them shine.

2175

Granvir @granvir.bsky.social · 30/06/2026

I'll be busy later this week so I'm squeezing out Granvir 2.38.0 early. Let me know what you think about the sliding after you try it out. Its a big change so your feedback is very important. store.steampowered.com/news/app/274...

083

Granvir @granvir.bsky.social · 29/06/2026

Sliding has opened up a lot of opportunities beyond mecha drifting. I'll be adding a new grapple that pulls the enemy mechs to you soon.

0445

Granvir @granvir.bsky.social · 25/06/2026

Lower tier hover mobility options for your mech are coming in the next Granvir update. I think its a very polarizing mobility type with unique survival skills but enough players are enjoying them to keep expanding the selection.

2122

Granvir @granvir.bsky.social · 20/06/2026

Update 2.36.0 for the roguelite mech builder Granvir is live with 3 new hovering mobility options. Give them all a shot and let me know your favorites!

1163

Granvir @granvir.bsky.social · 18/06/2026

I'm a long way from space and a few particle cannons short of a Zeong but I couldn't resist. Teach the enemy that legs are just for show in Granvir's next update.

0224

Granvir @granvir.bsky.social · 16/06/2026

Today I was tempted by a good suggestion. Crawler tetrapod that can transform into a high speed hovering biped coming to a Granvir update near you.

1172

Granvir @granvir.bsky.social · 15/06/2026

Do you prefer your hover mechs with 2 legs or 4? Granvir's new hover quads can take to the skies or hunker down for a big boost to reload speed.

1201

Granvir @granvir.bsky.social · 13/06/2026

Slip and slide your way to victory with the new hybrid hover legs in Granvir's 2.35.0 update. I hope to add a lot more new hover type mobility options so let me know how these feel.

1135

Granvir @granvir.bsky.social · 12/06/2026

Next update adds some fun little trackers to psychologically manipulate you into playing on a difficulty that's so high it isn't fun for you! Highest difficulty completed will be tracked per campaign and per pilot class.

091

Granvir @granvir.bsky.social · 12/06/2026

I'm still getting used to the new hover mech movement but it seems to combo really well with grappling.

3283

Granvir @granvir.bsky.social · 08/06/2026

There are a lot of cool hover mechs out there but the Dom is one of my favorites. You can toggle between walking and hovering and even fire your weapon to accelerate. I'm looking for 3 pilots with a lot of enthusiasm for flying in a column.

0143

Granvir @granvir.bsky.social · 06/06/2026

Kind of a snoozer for Granvir this week since a big bug with firerate had to be fixed. Your favorite high firerate weapon should now meet its target DPS. The fastest firing weapons are up 30% DPS after the fix.

0111

Granvir @granvir.bsky.social · 30/05/2026

Testing out the new hover type mobility platform. What should I name this one?

5143

Granvir @granvir.bsky.social · 29/05/2026

If you like throwing weapons, the short spears are a nice longer ranged option for your Granvir. You can combine them with a grapple for extra range and damage or to help pick them back up mid combat. Maybe the cave mechs were onto something...

091

Granvir @granvir.bsky.social · 22/05/2026

Granvir update 2.23.0 is live with a batch of throwing spears, important mech stats in the builder and tons of adjustments to the Campaign 4 preview.

0154

Granvir @granvir.bsky.social · 16/05/2026

The Campaign 4 Millennium Eclipse preview is live. Here's the roadmap for full release I'll be grinding away at for the next few months. Expect progress as part of each weekly update.

083

Granvir @granvir.bsky.social · 16/05/2026

Granvir 2.31.1 is live with the new campaign preview! You can play the first 10 missions of the new wave defense based campaign. If you decide to give it a try, please share your experience. Your feedback is super important in getting the balance optimized for maximum fun.

0122

Granvir @granvir.bsky.social · 14/05/2026

I've still got a lot of work left to do on campaign 4 but I'll be dropping a preview version for this week's update. You can play the new wave defense missions, build turrets and battle on the new urban and dockyard maps.

0110

Granvir @granvir.bsky.social · 09/05/2026

Granvir update 2.30.0 is live with a new double wide beam rifle and triple length beam sword. If mounted cannons are more your style, the Galewind series finally has a T4 entry with a firerate you can boost at the cost of heat build up.

1152

Granvir @granvir.bsky.social · 06/05/2026

Just finished Double Zeta so I had to do a hyper beam saber and double beam rifle. I loved how the second half played on the first. I felt so bad for punished Mashymre too. Seeing the gang become so capable on their own was both cool and tragic. Foaming at the mouth for CCA.

1201

Granvir @granvir.bsky.social · 02/05/2026

Ever wonder what its like to throw a giant axe from the cockpit of your mech? Wonder no longer in the latest update of the roguelite mech builder Granvir.

12810

Granvir @granvir.bsky.social · 02/05/2026

Roguelite mech builder Granvir is throwing it back in update 2.29.0 live now. Get a grip on the new throwing axes and check out the new torso-linked first person cockpit variations.

0192

Granvir @granvir.bsky.social · 29/04/2026

Granvir is a roguelite mech builder with cockpit and overhead perspective all about giant lances. There are like 30 other weapon types but the dev is so egregiously biased you don't need them.

1236

Granvir @granvir.bsky.social · 28/04/2026

This indie dev is making a roguelite mech builder with cockpit view similar to Your Favorite Mech Franchise (TM) but different enough that you'll get annoyed if you play it on that recommendation alone.

16514

Granvir @granvir.bsky.social · 25/04/2026

Granvir Update 2.28.0 is live with the addition of wrist mounted laser blades. I've also rounded out the set with a pair of distance oriented boosting legs and a short range radar torso to keep track of the melee. There are some fixes too I promise.

081

Granvir @granvir.bsky.social · 23/04/2026

With the new wrist blades I have combined the power of the moonlight greatsword and the moonlight laser blade. The power of the moon in the palm of my giant robot hand.

0266

Granvir @granvir.bsky.social · 22/04/2026

Haha laser blade go spinny. I may have watched a few too many AC6 zero damage runs. Unfortunately I learned nothing.

0211

Granvir @granvir.bsky.social · 20/04/2026

I've had a lot of fun with the laser blades playing the older Armored Cores especially in 4A so naturally I needed to have one for myself. I'm not really good enough to use them against enemy ACs but they really bailed out my early game economy.

1233

Granvir @granvir.bsky.social · 18/04/2026

Granvir Update 2.27.0 is live. Many have politely suggested I remove the fog of war and now you can do it yourself with custom difficulty. You can also take your loathsome creature of a mech for a spin in campaign 2's new urban special mission.

1142

Granvir @granvir.bsky.social · 12/04/2026

The Zeon mobile suits are some of my favorite and I've always been a fan of the lewis gun so now Granvir finally has its own LMG. You can't see anything over the enormous drum but I think its part of the charm.

55818

Granvir @granvir.bsky.social · 11/04/2026

Granvir update 2.26.0 is live with a batch of high capacity machine guns, a leg facing indicator to help out the first person pilots and a bunch more. If you're looking for a mech builder to play with friends, Granvir is 20% off all weekend.

080

Granvir @granvir.bsky.social · 09/04/2026

If you want to play a melee build in Granvir but giant mecha greatswords aren't your style, knives are a solid core melee weapon. They don't cancel an empty hand's movement speed boost and do significantly more damage to a parried enemy. Just watch out for unblockable overheads!

080

Granvir @granvir.bsky.social · 08/04/2026

If you are just starting out in Granvir, early melee mech builds can be tough. Not all weapons are made to be your bread and butter. Some are for cheaply finishing easy fights. A greatsword + grapple combo makes a solid core with gap close, a parry and tons of damage.

0171

Granvir @granvir.bsky.social · 07/04/2026

Thank you for 500 reviews on Granvir! I love working on the game and it’s your support that makes it easy. The updates will continue to flow!

0223

Granvir @granvir.bsky.social · 07/04/2026

Granvir is 20% off this week! First person and third person mech piloting enjoyers can join together for co-op roguelite mech building action.
