'Space Punks' Rolls Out Open Beta With New End-game Content, Gameplay Overhaul - Screens & Trailer

by Rainier on April 20, 2022 @ 9:00 a.m. PDT

Space Punks is a top-down looter shooter that features insane, over-the-top action in a unique, irreverent sci-fi setting.

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.


Developer Flying Wild Hog announced it has launched the open beta (the Epic Games Store) for its top-down looter shooter Space Punks.

“The Cracked One” Open Beta update gives players old and new the chance to jump into a retooled core gameplay loop, with a new “Get-A-Job” feature designed for easy quickplay, and a smoother crafting system giving them access to tools of even greater mayhem earlier in their spacefaring careers. 

With an endless dungeon mode set deep within “the Crack” Black Hole, it will see players jump from one dimension to another as they explore the unknown and attempt to reach infinity. The dimensions come in two flavors: Common - in which players have to kill a set amount of enemies to move to the next dimension, and Milestone - where players will have to find and kill the area boss to be able to continue gameplay . The update will also launch a raft of key bug fixes and improvements that will extend beyond the launch of the Open Beta.

Michał Kuk, Head of Cracow Studio for Flying Wild Hog and Space Punks Game Director said: “The launch of the Space Punks Open Beta is another huge step for us in the ongoing development of the game, and we’re excited to talk about everything new we’re adding for players both old and new to enjoy. The introduction of “the Crack” adds the first stage of an endgame content that our Early Access community has been clamouring for. Combined with the revisions to the primary gameplay loop, “The Cracked One” update represents the completion of the central “core” of Space Punks. We still have a huge amount we’re looking to add to the game throughout the Open Beta and beyond, so watch this Space!”

Phil Mansell, CEO of Jagex, said: “Space Punks has gone from strength to strength over the course of its Early Access phase, and we couldn’t be more excited to be working with Flying Wild Hog to bring more players into the crazy galaxy they’ve created. The dedication they’ve shown in crafting a unique gameplay experience in line with their Early Access community’s feedback echoes what Jagex aims for in its own “Living Games” philosophy, and we look forward to supporting Flying Wild Hog and Space Punks throughout the Open Beta and beyond.”

If you want to continue to support the development of the game and look good doing it, you can purchase a Founders Pack from the Epic Games Store.

Space Punks Founders Packs come in two flavors:

  • Brag Pack (€23.99 / £21.99 / $29.99): The essential pack for any wannabe misfit, guarantees early access and unlocks all four main characters. The bundle also includes a Season 1 Open Beta Battle Pass along with exclusive backgrounds, four emotes, the Epic Cloak, and the Epic Dash Effect.
  • Prosperity Pack (€39.99 / £34.99 / $49.99): The ultimate starter pack, only for die-hard scoundrels! In addition to everything that comes with the Brag Pack, it also comes with other perks: four epic character skins, an epic player appearance, and more.

Key Features:

  • Endless arsenal: firearms, grenades, gadgets, things that! Whatever weapon you're looking for, this galaxy has it all. And they only have one purpose: immediate fulfillment of your wishes.
  • Limitless Power: If you want something in this universe, it's MORE. Everything here revolves around space modeling clay. Grab things. Get famous. And get more powerful with every run.
  • No heroes: outsiders. Pirates. Rascals. Don't call them heroes. They may have hearts of gold, but they would love to mortgage them to get money for weapons.
  • Share the glory: Sure, you have to share your loot, but nothing beats the shared exhilaration after a successful run with your closest friends in the galaxy.
  • Brilliant Galaxy: The universe is strange and wonderful, full of weird and not really wonderful things ... they're all waiting to kill you. Better kill them first!

Space Punks is currently available in PC Early Access (Epic Games Store), with a console release in 2022.
