The developers of the Real Time Strategy Game Door Kickers, KillHouse Games, announce that have the game into Beta which means more stability and features as compared to Alpha... "No fear, its still the same game, but – as promised - it’s got major improvements, over and under the hood. Starting with the new Menu makeup (inspired by the great work of Vadim Veedoff), going through the changed equipment unlocking and Squad Levelup, and getting to the improved tactical options in game, we feel its a much better experience.

Yes, we did say Squad Levelup. Back when we first put the Doctrine Tree out we knew some things didn’t really click together, and your feedback confirmed we’re on the same page. The new system works as follows:

• troopers start with innate, random ability values. In the future, more might be added.
• they levelup based on XP and get a flat set of improvements with each rank. In the future, there will be some player control over trooper improvements.
• the squad levels up via the sum of XP received by ALL troopers
• Squad Levelup unlocks the trooper classes and gains you Doctrine Points to use in the Doctrine tree
• the new mission challenges give extra XP
• oh, yeah, the squad and troopers should all reset with the new version
