FragPunk, a new 5v5 multiplayer first-person shooter, has launched on PC, receiving a mixed 67% rating on Steam based on initial player reviews. The game's unique selling point is its innovative use of fragment-cards. These dynamically alter gameplay mid-match, creating unpredictable and varied combat experiences. Developers describe the cards as combinable, counteracting each other, and adding a significant layer of tactical depth to the core FPS mechanics.
Players can choose from 13 distinct launchers, each with unique abilities, catering to both collaborative and solo playstyles. FragPunk allows players to showcase individual skills in online matches.
However, Bad Guitar, the studio behind FragPunk, has announced a postponement of the console launch. Initially scheduled for March 6th on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, the release has been delayed due to unforeseen technical issues. While a new release date remains unconfirmed, the developers assure players of ongoing updates.
