It's more fun, chaotic, and entertaining across the board. Solo is more than plausible, but considering this game has abilities that synergise between the playable characters, and hordes of enemies that won't hesitate to overwhelm you in an instant, having a few pals along for the ride is encouraged. There's no doubt about it, Space Punks is designed to be played cooperatively. Granted, this is provided you don't rush into combat too quickly - and this is on the harder, more rewarding difficulties for that manner. On the other hand, I, who has mostly played this game solo so far, has found that the levels and the contracts are more than approachable alone and don't require all that much investment into the skill trees and the improvement of a character. I will say that the RPG aspect of the game and the character development seems like a major investment, and to really explore it will require you to sink a decent portion of your own time into it to really draw value from it. Match this up with the variety of weapons on offer that if you are a fan of the wild world of Borderlands will hit right home, and you get a thoroughly enjoyable game that can be hard to put down. The characters, be it the nanotech wielding Eris or the humanoid pig Finn, feel unique and fun to play and each bring something new to the table. Yet, the arcade, simple to understand, chaotic, and smooth feeling nature of Space Punks offsets this design quite significantly. Sure, you will have side objectives to complete alongside this, but that largely revolves around wandering the map to find a number of chests to gain resources and gear to become stronger. And talking about this design, the levels are quite small, and the objectives are pretty repetitive. You get defined levels with defined objectives, where at the end of each one, you return to the hub location to reap the rewards and improve your character. It's sort of like a typical looter-shooter game loop in that regard, but plays in a more arcade style, which is ideal since chaos and explosive action is crucial to the success of Space Punks, and in this regard it delivers without question.īut, as Space Punks is also a free-to-play game, you don't get a sprawling ARPG that really allows you to connect and become attached to the characters. You’ll be able to buy things like cosmetics and items of convenience, but not direct power – the game will not be pay-to-win.Designed as an isometric ARPG, the game asks players to pick one of four characters to head out into the reaches of space to complete a contract to earn gear and become stronger, to be able to then take on more challenging contracts in turn. Once Space Punks leaves Early Access, the game will be free to play. The bigger the explosions, the greater the fame and fortune – that’s just how things are out there in the interstellar community! With trigger-happy misfits covering your back, you’re going places, kid. There’s No ‘I’ In Posse: More scoundrels in your squad equals more guns, and more guns means more stuff getting smoked, plus an all-round pleasingly higher level of general carnage. There’s an awful lot of ass asking to be kicked across the galaxy, and luckily you’ve got the boots, the tools and the appropriately agitative personality traits needed to do the kicking.Īction com: Blast more, earn more, loot more – big guns and big cash energy means even bigger (literal) galactic renown for your rambunctious rebel crew as you (literally) plunder planet after planet after planet.
