Marauders is going early access in a few days and we have some excited Cursed Gamers waiting. I personally pre-purchased the game so I could get access to it over the summer and I love the gameplay. There are a few things I definitely did not like and I’ll get into that a bit later.

This game is set in a universe where WW2 never really ended and the war took to space. We’ve seen other games and movies with this theme before and people will feel a familiar setting to Iron Sky, Iron Harvest, and etc. In this title gamers will take to space and rock out in a nearly steampunk like ship while they fight for loot and glory. Overall the game play feels like Tarkov but in space. It’s going to hit you on gear-fear, ratting, chad kits, and getting that juicy loot. When you get everything set you can launch with your crew of up to 4. They have a handful of maps it will randomly throw you on. These maps are filled with both main structures and side structures like AI run ships you can raid. You have missions you can complete, loot to grab, and all of the other teams trying to kill you before you can make it out. All-in-all the game play is fun but there are some things lacking.

If you never played Tarkov then the following may not hit you as hard as people who have. Tarkov is a pretty flushed out game with the gun handling system being one of the best. Marauders are lacking in this department and you don’t really feel the “power” of your firearm like you would in other shooters. Marauders is also an early access game and it shows in the features. The hideout is fairly basic but I believe they have plans to expand it in the future. Lastly, there are some serious bugs causing duping and performance issues. This is common in early access games but for a lot of people this is going to dissuade them from playing too long. Overall I will probably play it from time to time and look forward to seeing some Cursed guys and gals hopping on too! Marauders goes to EA on steam October 3rd and you can find more info below:
