'Spacelords' (ALL) Now Features Full Cross-Play

Spacelords is a multiplayer online asymmetric adventure where you fight the invaders by teaming up with other Raiders, or turn the tables and storm into battle with those invaders fighting at your side!

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 announced that their Free to Play cooperative shooter Spacelords includes now full cross-play between PS4, Xbox One, Windows PC and Steam. 

Spacelords becomes one of the very first games to include full cross-play, unifying all Spacelords players around the world regardless of the game system of their choice. This measure will also ensure a more optimal matchmaking system and shorter queuing times between games for the growing Spacelords’ community.

“Implementing full cross-play is a really complex endeavor for any developer,” commented Enric Álvarez, Game Director. “For a small independent team like MercurySteam, the effort we put behind enabling this feature speaks volumes of our commitment to offer our fantastic community as many options to play Spacelords with total freedom as possible.”

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