You can either play as the grenade-shooting loudmouth Duke, use drones and mini-guns with the tech-savvy insect engineer Bob, beat up enemies with battle-wielder Finn’s fists or wield the nanotentacles of the cyborg Erin. The hero selection at the start of the game already looks promising. The optimal combination? Theoretically, yes. To me, Space Punks seemed like a mix of Lost Ark and Diablo mechanics coupled with a dash of Borderlands 3 and a touch of WildStar. After all, the trailers looked promising too: A quirky troupe of heroes in a stripped-down sci-fi environment, making a racket thanks to synergy effects and a range of interesting abilities. Instead, I went with my better half and my best buddy to the distant future realms of Space Punks.Īs a purple battle-axe, mine-throwing giant insect and nanotentacle lady, we questioned robots galore, looted kilos of crates, endured sandstorms and played the new action role-playing game by Polish developer studio Flying Wild Hog (Shadow Warrior 3) in detail for you.Īmong my friends, we were looking for a game with plenty of group action anyway, so the opportunity to take a look at Space Punks before the start of the ( Open Beta) came just at the right time.

SPACE PUNKS RELEASE DATE UPDATE
The open beta update will allow new and returning players to experience the overhauled gameplay loop with new Get-A-Job and Craftron 2000 system improvements. We have so much more we’re looking forward to adding in the coming months, and can’t wait to show the gaming public at large what we’ve been working on!” The Open Beta means we look forward to welcoming more players than ever to the world of Space Punks, but that doesn’t mean we’re done listening to our all important player community, or that we’re anywhere near “done” working on the game.

Players can look forward to a unique mix of over-the-top sci-fi action-RPG wrapped in self-aware humor, with enough guns, grenades, gadgets and gizmos to keep them always coming back for more. The last few months of Early Access were instrumental in refining and tuning the core gameplay concepts we want to create - in line with all important player feedback at every step of development. Michał Kuk, Head of Cracow Studio for Flying Wild Hog and Space Punks Game Director said: “We are incredibly proud of what we have built with Space Punks so far. Players will be able to earn lots of money completing missions by living their lives extremely dangerously, which of course means that the greater the reward, the more blood they'll probably have to shed.

The game will be a free-to-play title, and is an ARPG set in an irreverent sci-fi universe where you and up to three others can shoot their way to fame and fortune during its campaign. Players will be able to play the top-down sci-fi looter shooter's open beta via the Epic Games Store on April 20th, 2022. Polish developer Flying Wild Hog has just announced the Space Punks release date.
