Fortnite's 'Save the World' campaign never actually went free to play, frustratingly. For now, Jagex is taking the Fortnite approach by only selling premium bundles at this point in the game's life, with the base, non-bundled game planned for release in the future. It looks like Space Punks will eventually launch as a free-to-play game, another aspect that will greatly set this one apart from its closest competitor. The bad guys revealed so far consist of robots and aliens, naturally. The visual style closely recalls Borderlands, though one of the playable characters is a purple, humanoid pig, and another is a green insect, neither of which would happen in Gearbox's loot shooter series. Space Punks is a 4-player online co-op shooter in which players control a team of 'trigger-happy misfits' as they take on missions on a hostile alien world (or worlds). Also, it will probably be free to play at some point. The game is Epic Games Store exclusive but will eventually come to consoles as well. What are gamers who can't enjoy FPS games to do? Enter Flying Wild Hog and publisher Jagex, whose new early access co-op game Space Punks looks just like Borderlands but with a third-person perspective.

Borderlands is a fantastic 'loot shooter' series, but it's also a first-person shooter. The Early Access will not use any real-world money, though cosmetic-only microtransactions are planned for the full release. Players can also earn in-game currency that can be exchanged for emotes, dances, or cosmetics. The team at Flying Wild Hog referenced Helldivers, the twin-stick action RPG, as one of the main inspirations for this new. There are also new modes the team is working on, modes they say will introduce sort-session play that’s both fun and competitive.Īs a live-service game, Space Punks will continue to grow after launch with new planets, missions, activities, and enemies all planned to hit Space Punks over its lifetime. Space Punks is a top-down looter shooter, developed by the same team that launched the Shadow Warrior series, and despite the very obvious visual differences, Space Punks brings a lot of Shadow Warrior’s DNA to the table. In Space Punks, players can team up with friends, equip different weapons, and hunt for more loot.

They’re simply translating that FPS feeling into the top-down perspective. In an interview with IGN last year the team says the goal is to be a “living looter shooter.”įlying Wild Hog is best known for games like Shadow Warrior, and the team says that connection between melee combat, ranged combat, and movement can be found in Space Punks. The living looter shooter was first announced back in 2021 and combined a grungy apocalyptic wasteland setting with the isometric action from the Diablo series.
