MercurySteam did briefly give all the campaigns away for free in May, but evidently that didn't produce enough of a long-term boost to keep the old model going. "We've answered our community and hope this removal of any payment barriers will build our devoted community further." "Our vision is to see our game enjoyed by millions of users for years to come and putting all of the game's rich content into their hands for free is the way to realise it," director Álvarez said in today's announcement. I hear it's, like, okay? But playercounts are low, peaking at barely over a hundred concurrent players in the past 30 days, which puts a multiplayer game in a death spiral of bad matchmaking.
A fifth player can join as the 'Antagonist', see, a big nastie who has come to wreck you in the name of "a dark space demon." And it does support solo play too. Raiders Of The Broken planet is a cooperative-focused cover shooter with different classes romping through missions shooting and bashing faces, and occasionally going up against another player. Game director Enric Álvarez says they hoped this "would open it up to a large number of users, but it didn't work as we planned." And so, F2P. Since its 2017 launch, Raiders has run under a shareware-ish model of giving the starter campaign away free then charging a tenner for each extra campaign (three so far).
MercurySteam's four-player cooperative (and sometimes 4v1) shoot-o-brawler Raiders Of The Broken Planet will relaunch as fully free-to-play in August under the new name of Spacelords, the Spanish studio announced today.
