The much-anticipated multiplayer first-person shooter, FragPunk, has officially hit the PC gaming scene. Launched recently, the game has garnered a mixed reception on Steam, currently holding a 67% rating from early user reviews. This new title from Bad Guitar promises to shake up the genre with its innovative gameplay mechanics.
At the heart of FragPunk's appeal are its intense 5v5 battles, enhanced by the unique feature of fragment-cards. These cards dynamically shift the rules of engagement throughout the match, making every game session feel fresh and unpredictable. "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 system encourages players to think on their feet and adapt their strategies on the fly.
Players have the option to choose from 13 distinct launchers, each boasting special abilities that cater to a variety of playstyles. Whether you thrive in team-based scenarios or prefer to showcase your individual prowess in online matches, FragPunk offers flexibility to suit all preferences.
In other news, Bad Guitar has announced a delay for the console versions of FragPunk. Originally set to launch across all platforms on March 6, the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S releases were unexpectedly postponed just two days before the planned rollout. The delay stems from "unforeseen technical issues," according to the studio. While no new release date has been set, Bad Guitar assures the community that updates will be forthcoming.
