In the exhilarating world of Frag Punk, a 5v5 hero shooter, the ingenious addition of cards injects a thrilling twist into the gameplay. From the game's inception, the concept of these cards was a pivotal element, offering players the power to shape and redefine the rules of engagement in each round. Imagine wielding the Homecoming Bullet card, sending enemies on a teleporting journey, or transforming your weapon into a turret with a mere throw - the possibilities are as endless as they are electrifying.
Balancing these game-altering cards presents a unique challenge, with the team implementing a cost system to ensure fair gameplay. Each card is assigned a specific cost, allowing players to strategize whether to invest heavily in a single powerful card or distribute their resources across multiple options. Additionally, a rank system adds another layer of equilibrium, offering players a selection of cards to choose from simultaneously, ensuring a level playing field for all competitors.
The introduction of the new character, Chum, a stone robot with a penchant for fishing, promises to bring a fresh dynamic to Frag Punk. Alongside this intriguing addition, a new map inspired by Chinese, Japanese, and Korean cultures adds a vibrant backdrop to the adrenaline-fueled battles. With regular updates planned post-launch, including new heroes, maps, and gameplay modes in seasonal chapters, Frag Punk is poised to revolutionize the hero shooter genre. Get ready to dive into this action-packed world when Frag Punk hits Xbox, PlayStation 5, and PC on March 6th.
