'Space Punks' Disappoints, Shutting Down In November

by Rainier on Sept. 7, 2023 @ 9:06 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.

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 Open Beta (Epic Games Store), with a console release in 2022.
