FragPunk, the eagerly awaited multiplayer first-person shooter, has now launched on PC, bringing a fresh take to the genre. With a current Steam rating of 67%, reflecting a mixed reception from early users, the game has certainly sparked interest and discussion within the gaming community.
At the heart of FragPunk's appeal are its innovative fragment-cards, which introduce a unique twist to every 5v5 battle. These cards dynamically change the rules of engagement throughout the game, ensuring that no two matches are ever the same. "The cards can be combined, counteract one another, and add a new layer of tactical depth to the classic gameplay," explain the developers. This feature not only keeps the gameplay fresh but also encourages players to adapt and strategize in real-time.
Players have a selection of 13 unique launchers to choose from, each boasting special abilities that cater to various play styles. Whether you're a fan of teamwork or prefer going solo, FragPunk offers flexibility, allowing gamers to showcase their individual skills during intense online matches.
However, fans eagerly awaiting the console versions of FragPunk will have to wait a bit longer. Bad Guitar, the studio behind the game, announced a delay for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S releases just two days before the originally planned launch date of March 6. Citing "unforeseen technical issues," the developers have postponed the console launch without a new confirmed date, though they have committed to keeping the community informed about future developments.
