An incredible discovery on one of Saturn’s moons leads a force of humans to the Broken Planet on the far reaches of the Universe. A source of energy called Aleph exists there that grants ultimate power to whoever controls it…

However, the human forces split into factions and fight amongst themselves for dominion over the Aleph. The peaceful inhabitants of the planet are caught in the crossfire, but a hero emerges amongst them who hopes to lead his people to freedom…

Using nefarious means and exploiting the disunity amongst the human ranks, Harec recruits a rag tag group of rogues, outlaws and hired guns from the various factions and pits them against those who would destroy his people...

In Spacelords, become a Raider and join the battle both on and offline in awesome 3rd person Brawler-Shooter gameplay. Customise your character’s combat style in unique ways with special collectible cards. Use Aleph to your advantage, to power special abilities, but manage it properly or you will give away your position on the battlefield!

In Spacelords you pick your protagonist and work together with three other players in a counter-operative adventure. The biggest idea underpinning the game is something akin to Dark Souls, where a single player, The Antagonist, can invade a match just as it begins and choose to fight alongside the bad guys against the four-player human team. The goal of this Antagonist is simply to troll the good guys and prevent them from achieving their mission objectives. 

MercurySteam launched today Spacelords Identity, the new game update for its free to play shooter Spacelords, adding a huge range of new content to the game, including the hotly awaited Space Shop.

The Space Shop offers a wide range of cosmetic customization for all the Spacelords character, making sure no two players will look the same in your games. Players can now acquire new skins for their favourite characters and their weapons, new emotes to express themselves as they battle for the control of the Broken Planet, and even a Space Disco to groove along their teammates in style!

“Identity is a step forward in Spacelords’ transition to the free to play business model, offering an exciting range of optional cosmetic items to the growing Spacelords community,” commented Enric Álvarez, Game Director.

“This update is just the second milestone in our ambitious Spacelords’ Roadmap, and we will continue to add top quality content to Spacelords in the coming months based on the players’ feedback.”

Identity also adds much more than cosmetic upgrades to the game. The Adventure has been improved with the addition of monthly rewards, individual scores based on the player’s performance, and the new Featured Player highlight, that celebrates the most heroic deeds in the game.

Spacelords (previously known as Raiders of the Broken Planet) is currently available on PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
