Pantropy is a sci-fi MMOFPS with RPG elements that takes place on a hostile alien world.

Pantropy takes place on a post spacecraft, hostile alien world around the year 2100 AD. Generators create wormholes that connect planets and make the colonization of foreign worlds possible. Players band together in factions to endure the difficult challenges that unfold. Pantropy’s exciting FPS gameplay has players competing with each other (and the native inhabitants of Pantropy) for limited resources. 

Players band together in factions to endure the difficult challenges of Pantropy. Exciting FPS gameplay has players competing with each other (and the native inhabitants of Pantropy) for limited resources. Using an in-depth crafting system, players can create custom bases, research new equipment, and build mighty mechs. Pantropy encourages cooperative gaming to explore, gather resources, develop new technologies, and, ultimately, to survive.

Pantropy is officially now live on Kickstarter, looking for $92,912,  and is slated for Steam PC early Access Q2 of 2018 post Kickstarter.

“We added this faction system to reduce frustration and to increase the cooperative gameplay experience for our players, we strongly felt a clear 2-Faction system was not present enough in other games out there on the marketplace today.”, says Sebastian Kaulitzki, Executive Producer at Brainstone Games.

Pantropy has no micro-transactions or in-game purchases. It returns to the roots of online gaming where players earn rewards through skill and determination, not dollars. In order to gear up, players must scavenge for resources to craft tools, weapons, armor, vehicles, and buildings to protect themselves from the vicious alien fauna.

Kickstarter backers will receive a closed early alpha edition post campaign. The alpha servers host up to 64 players simultaneously on a 64km² map and future releases will support highly populated servers, larger battles, and more powerful discoveries. Future stretch goals include: PS4, Xbox and other possible developments may be mentioned during and after the Kickstarter campaign launching on Feb 6, 2018.

Pantropy features an “Anti-Offline-Raid System”, which protects your base from getting raided and destroyed sometime after you log offline. In addition, the “Friend or Foe Faction System”, gives players the ability to team up with friends while lending them the ability to identify menacing foes inside their own faction by banning them and even placing bounties on their head. The game is set-up to reward for good behavior by ranking up in reputation or decreasing depending on the player's individual behavior. 

Cooperative gameplay allows players to explore, gather resources, create custom bases, build mighty mechs individually or with others simultaneously, research new equipment, develop new technologies with an in-depth crafting system (almost everything in Pantropy needs to be crafted). Missions assigned in the game are designed to dynamically react to the player and influence the world around them. 

Pantropy is currently being developed for PC. Steam alpha access will be available in late 2017, and the full release is anticipated in 2018. The alpha servers host up to 64 players simultaneously on a 64km² map and future releases will support higher populated servers, larger battles, and more powerful discoveries.
