The highly anticipated multiplayer first-person shooter, FragPunk, has officially launched on PC, sparking a buzz within the gaming community. Currently, it holds a mixed rating of 67% on Steam, reflecting the diverse early feedback from players.
In FragPunk, players dive into thrilling 5v5 battles, with the game's standout feature being the innovative use of fragment-cards. These cards dynamically shift the rules of combat throughout the game, ensuring that no two matches feel the same. "The cards can be combined, counteract one another, and add a new layer of tactical depth to the classic gameplay," the developers at Bad Guitar explain. This unique mechanic introduces a fresh element to the genre, encouraging players to strategize and adapt on the fly.
Gamers have the choice of 13 unique launchers, each boasting special abilities that cater to different playstyles. Whether you thrive in teamwork or prefer to go solo, FragPunk accommodates both preferences, allowing players to showcase their individual skills in online matches.
Meanwhile, Bad Guitar, the creative force behind FragPunk, has announced an unexpected delay for the console versions of the game. Originally set to launch on March 6 across all platforms, the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S releases were postponed just two days before the planned launch date due to "unforeseen technical issues." Although no new release date has been set, the developers have committed to keeping the community informed on future developments.
