New Looter Shooter Game Marauders Revealed

Developer Small Impact Games and publisher Team17 officially announced its new game, Marauders, complete with a trailer showing players what they can expect in the upcoming space-pirate-themed FPS loot-n-shoot coming to Steam Early Access later this year.

The new intellectual property from UK-based Small Impact Games is labeled as a «tactical first-person multiplayer shooter.» The setting is an alternate 1990s where something known as «The Great War» never ended. In this alt-history universe, massive over industrialization has brought planet Earth to a crossroads, with many of its inhabitants already fleeing to the stars to seek refuge.

While exploring the depths of space, players will come across the standard assortment of colonies, factories, and space stations that can be raided for valuable loot.

But another option, one that seems to provide a much more scintillating experience, lets players actually attack and board other players' ships to plunder equipment and resources by force. Standard tactical close-quarter first-person combat scenarios aside, there's an added element that should keep the gameplay fast and furious. Every player involved in a board and capture is provided with a very limited oxygen supply that slowly dwindles over time. Players not only need to keep tabs on their six but make sure they don't suffocate before getting back to their ship.

Players will be able to fly solo or team
