Press release:
Monday, 3rd October 2022.
The Wakefield-based indie games publisher and developer Team 17 and the UK-based indie games developer Small Impact Games, are today very happy and excited to announce that their hardcore looter shooter “Marauders” is now available for PC via Steam Early Access.

The highly anticipated, deep space shooter sees players take on other squads and AI enemies in a stellar sci-fi battleground of hulking frigates, bullet-riddled space prisons, and decaying agricultural hubs.

During each match, players hunt for valuable loot and gear to add to their ever-growing inventory or swap for cold hard cash on the black market, all while breaching and stealing others’ ships and earning a notorious reputation among the stars.

At early access launch, Marauders features over 40 specialised contract missions and additional unique raid locations, with an extensive roadmap of content to come over the months ahead.

Marauders is available to purchase from today on Steam at £24.99/29.99 USD/€29.99.

Following early access launch, Marauders developer Small Impact Games will continue to add a range of exciting content for players to sink their teeth into, including new enemies, weapons, maps and more. A full early access roadmap features below.

Marauders takes place in an alternative 1990s where The Great War never ended, Earth has been industrialised to its breaking point, and most have fled to the stars. Band together with your crew of up to three other players to navigate a hostile battleground, hunt for loot, craft new weapons and gear, and salvage what’s needed to survive.

Marauders Key Features :

Raid, loot, escape: Plunder deep-space battlegrounds and embark on daring raids for troves of valuable loot, then get out alive to claim your spoils and turn a healthy profit
Tense first-person combat: Work alone or with up to three other players to survive intense combat encounters with realistic bullet simulation against enemy teams and AI opponents
Persistent gear and XP: Keep your best gear match-to-match and tweak your favourite weapons with mods while using XP to unlock new items and increase your chances of survival
Upgradeable spaceships and explosive sci-fi dogfights: Upgrade your ship’s armaments; build a brand-new craft with scavenged resources; or take someone else’s by force

Marauders is being developed by Small Impact Games, an independent development studio based in the UK, and is available from today to purchase on Steam for £24.99/29.99 USD/€29.99.
