It isn’t simply enough to fire your weapons constantly at the boss, even though it was a bit bullet spongey from what we saw, as there will be adds to deal with. The mission we saw was a boss battle against a frog/lizard-looking enemy called a Jearbear. Flying Wild Hog are aiming for five key features in Space Punks: Endless Arsenal – of both melee and ranged weapons Limitless Power – more loot and progression than you will ever need Share the Glory – Space Punks is best enjoyed in multiplayer Not Heroes – your playable characters aren’t famous space pirates, yet just regular folk trying to earn a living and Brilliant Galaxy – a lot of thought has gone into the setting, story and overall lore for Space Punks. Their abilities can be buffed by the others too: Duke for example works best when paired with Bob or Finn, receiving bonuses from teaming up with them and working in collaboration with their strengths and weaknesses.ĭuring a recent developer presentation, we got to actually see how Space Punks will play. They are: Duke – the handsome alpha male Eris – not the sort of person you want to double cross Finn – an anthropomorphic boar not unlike Pey’j from Beyond Good & Evil and finally Bob – the galaxy’s baddest bug.Įach character has unique abilities and will be better equipped in different situations. These can be new skins for characters, companions or new entrances when landing in a new zone and more.Īt launch, there will be four punks with whom you can “rip space a new one”. There will be microtransactions available along with battle passes when the game properly launches, but these will only ever include cosmetic items. Perhaps knowing they are entering an ever-filling market, Space Punks will be launching as a free-to-play title.

We never treated Helldivers as a point of reference, it was more like, ok I love this game, but it would be awesome if I could move like three times faster and have dodges, and have the possibility to slice through enemies." That was the initial input of Helldivers. Yes, there was a mention to Helldivers, but that was not when it comes to the structure of the game or like overall idea for gameplay, it was more like, we need a cooperative game, with fast-paced action, with character development, and all that stuff I was missing in Helldivers.
I've got like 3000 hours that I've spent in Borderlands, but to be honest, we never referenced Borderlands. That's like one of my one favourite games of all time.
Kuk replied, "When it comes to Borderlands, I'm really proud to be compared to Borderlands. As part of that announcement, we've had the chance to speak with the title's game director Michael Kuk to get an idea as to what we can expect from Space Punks when it launches on the Epic Game Store in Early Access on July 14.ĭuring the interview, we asked Kuk about the similarities between Space Punks and Borderlands and how Helldivers played into the development of the game. A few days ago, Flying Wild Hogs announced the chaotic, explosive, action-RPG Space Punks, giving us a good look at its world and the sorts of mayhem we can expect to get up to in it.
