FragPunk is the new free-to-play 5v5 hero shooter poised to break the rules of combat.
What makes FragPunk different is the introduction of Shard Cards that can affect the playing field for all players.
Shard Cards are voted on by players before each round and can change the entire playing field – from making player’s heads big to your team into zombies when you are downed.
FragPunk has a low barrier entry but a high-level of gunplay mechanics making it a great choice for casual gamers to hardcore FPS fans alike.
Between gameplay tempo, aesthetic, & characters, FragPunk's inherent chaos sets it apart from other hero shooters, but the cards aren't always in its favor.
FragPunk is a fun and promising tactical hero shooter with unique card mechanics that refresh gameplay each round. However, it still suffers from balance issues, confusing virtual currencies, and low server tickrate that impacts the overall experience.
FragPunk comes with a card system, a stylish look and aims to clean up the F2P sector straight away. For the most part, this works really well, as the matches remain fresh and there is never a dull moment. However, you have to be able to put up with the many microtransactions.
Fragpunk is a solid entry into the first person shooter genre. It is tough to tell whether this one will become a permanent fixture in the live service space or dissolve in the future. After 20 or so hours with this one, I am still enjoying the shard card and ranked modes. The true test of time is whether they keep changing up the formula, characters...
FragPunk from developer Bad Guitar Studio has a lot going on, most of which is positive. The game is easy to jump into, there are a variety of modes to play to keep the gameplay fresh, and the game just looks and feels cool. Not all of it is gold, but it’s certainly close.
