Marauders is a tactical first-person multiplayer shooter set in an alternative 1990s where The Great War never ended, Earth has been industrialized to its breaking point, and many have fled to the stars.

Marauders will see players step into the boots of a roving space mercenaries known as ‘Marauders’ to explore and breach hostile spaceships; salvage valuable loot, including an arsenal of iconic weapons from the last century; and do battle with other players and AI enemies in tense multiplayer combat. 

Players will be able to play solo or in squads of up to four and equip gear and weapons to increase their chances of survival while embarking on daring raids among the stars. They’ll also have to keep a close watch for others looking to do the same and end their expedition with a bullet. Should they make it out alive, they’ll be able to use their haul in further matches, put those resources scavenged toward upgrading their ship, or sell everything for a tidy profit.

Team17 Digital and Small Impact Games announced ‘United Allies’, the largest content update to date for hardcore looter shooter Marauders, arriving 25th April for free on Steam Early Access. 

In the new update to the Steam Early Access shooter, players can explore and pillage a colossal colony cruiser while taking on the brand-new ‘United Allies’ faction, a syndicate of heavily armed space-navy Marine operators hailing from the game’s fictional western alliance. They’ll take on United Allies conscripts to rack up their kill count and have the chance to loot new equipment, including unique cosmetics, Sherman plate armor, and personal explosives such as hand grenades and the devastating ‘China Lake’ grenade launcher. 

Marauders’ United Allies update also adds a variety of community requested features to the game, including 14 new ships for players to purchase via an in-game ship vendor or breach in battle and claim as their own (more than triple the amount currently available in the game); the brand-new ‘Wreckage’ resource that introduces in-flight salvaging via ship airlocks and provides another way for players obtain materials; deadly explosive barrels; handy in-raid vendors to purchase resources from; and proximity voice chat for players to scheme with their squad and taunt their opponents.
