Pantropy is a game that claims to be many things. The official description includes the following terms and features: a Sci-fi, faction multiplayer shooter with mechs, RPG elements and strong PvE and Pvp gameplay with a focus on building and crafting.
Pretty ambitious, right?
Pantropy is officially launching on kickstarter Feb 6, 2018, and is slated to release on Steam PC in early access sometime in the second half of 2018. The game has you tearing it up on an alien planet, blasting martians to bits, competing with other players or banding together in factions to fight back against the hostile planet. With no micro-transactions or in-game purchases, Pantropy is hoping to be a kind of return to the roots of online gaming, where players earn rewards through skill and determination, not spending real currency to "git gud".If you want the slickest gear, you have to scavenge for resources to craft tools, weapons, armor, vehicles, and buildings to protect themselves from the vicious alien fauna.
The game takes place on a hostile alien world around the year 2100 AD. Cooperative gameplay allows players to explore the terrain, gather resources, create custom bases, build powerful mechs individually or simultaneously with others, research new equipment, develop new technologies with the in-depth crafting system, which is needed for almost everything in the game. The game missions are designed to dynamically react to the player and influence the world around them, so expect a pretty dynamic AI.
Executive Producer Sebastian Kaulitzki had the following to say about the faction system, and how it will set their title apart from what is already on the market:
"We added this faction system to reduce frustration and to increase the cooperative gameplay experience for our players, we strongly felt a clear 2-Faction system was not present enough in other games out there on the marketplace today."
Pantropy is set to hit Kickstarter February 6, 2018, and has an active campaign on Thunderclap reaching over 1.3 million. Check out their website for more info here.
is it a xbox one game or ever will be?
