FragPunk, the eagerly anticipated multiplayer first-person shooter, has now officially launched on PC, bringing a fresh twist to the genre. Early reviews on Steam have given the game a mixed rating, with a current score of 67% based on user feedback. This new title from Bad Guitar promises an exhilarating experience with its unique 5v5 battles, but what sets FragPunk apart is its innovative use of fragment-cards. These cards dynamically change the rules of combat during the game, making every match uniquely thrilling. "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, highlighting the strategic element that these cards bring to the battlefield.
Players have the choice of 13 distinct launchers, each boasting special abilities that cater to various playstyles. Whether you thrive in teamwork or prefer going solo, FragPunk offers flexibility, allowing players to showcase their individual skills in online matches. This blend of customization and strategic gameplay has sparked interest among FPS enthusiasts looking for something new.
In other news, Bad Guitar has announced an unexpected 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 postponed just two days before the scheduled date due to "unforeseen technical issues." While a new release date hasn't been confirmed yet, the developers have committed to keeping the community informed on progress. Fans eagerly awaiting the console versions will need to hold on a bit longer, but the promise of updates offers some reassurance during this waiting period.
