Tiki Games has announced that the first major update for Novastrike is now available on the PlayStation Network.

"At the start of June we released Novastrike and quickly discovered a lot of customers found the difficulty settings to be too challenging," said Kevin McCann, president and creative director of Tiki Games. "Subsequently, the update really focuses on making the difficulty modes more accessible while also still retaining challenging modes for players that are very experienced with shooters."

"Trophies became available while we working on the update so we included sixteen trophies for players to earn," continued Kevin McCann. "We also included customizable controls, XMB music playlist support, and more. Supporting our customer-base is and always will be an extremely high priority for Tiki Games."

Novastrike Update highlights include:

Reduced difficulty for Recruit, Soldier, and Veteran modes. A new Hardcore mode has also been introduced for shooter fans wanting a real challenge.
