Space Punksoffers crazy action in a unique, unconventional sci-fi world, in which players shoot for fame and fortune and take on lucrative jobs on remote planets despite the unlikely chances of success. The players have the opportunity to pave their way to fame, honor and fortune by accepting lucrative assignments on distant planets and taking on all chances of success.

Space Punks is designed as a living, breathing, and ever-changing game world - a truly living game that is in line with Flying Wild Hog's creative mission of creating action-packed, fast-paced, and wholeheartedly unique titles that take players into unexpected and kidnap exciting new worlds.

The gameplay will delight not only hardcore fans of the dungeon crawl / loot shooter genre, but players all over the wide world of games. As is common in action role-playing games, there are complex skill trees that make it possible to develop different types of characters through experience. In addition, there is plenty of loot and equipment to help characters out on their adventures.

Space Punks will receive its second major Early Access (Epic Games Store) content patch this week. Building on last month’s “The Talented One” update and player feedback, the patch will overhaul Space Punks’ crafting and weapon specialisation options, providing players with yet more ways to customise their playstyle.

As well as a raft of bug fixes, gameplay tweaks and quality of life improvements, “The Crafty One” update is focused on that most central pillar of the looter-shooter: guns (and weapons in general). Players can look forward to a complete revamp of the crafting system, with new crafting materials to help boost your weapons stats and abilities. It also introduces batteries and software into the mix. Batteries to unlock additional software slots in your weapons, and software upgrades themselves to help boost your stats even further.

The update also introduces blueprints. These collectable weapon schematics are unlocked by spending resources collected from jobs or from specific quests. Players will be able to upgrade their blueprints as they progress through the game, in case there is that one weapon fitting their character and playstyle to which  they just keep coming back. For those that do want to switch it up - the update adds the ability to scrap any weapon for parts, with bigger payback for anything into which they have invested resources.

“The Crafty One” also adds a bit of style with the substance, with a 3D weapon preview, and an upgrade animation which changes depending on how many upgrades have gone into a weapon of choice. There are also special effects added to certain talents, and some will receive duration and cooldown timers, making it easier to see the info relevant to the triggered talents. Last but not least, there are tweaks to The Devil’s Gambit hub-zone, like new lighting, props and even a few much needed vending machines.

Head of Flying Wild Hog’s Cracow Studio and Space Punks Game Director, Michael Kuk said: “This update is the first step to bring significant depth to Space Punks’ with the new crafting and weapon upgrade systems - providing players with enormously expanded ways to customise their character’s equipment and playstyle as they progress through the challenges the galaxy has to offer. We are extremely happy with the response we’ve had to Space Punks so far from the Early Access community, and players’ ongoing feedback has been instrumental in informing how we build the game. We have a lot more we are looking forward to adding in the coming months of Early Access and Open Beta to make Space Punks the best possible living game it can be.”
