Pirate Crews Battle for Supremacy in Multiplayer Action-Arcade Game “Plunder Panic”!
It now be September! The summer season fades, but the quest for gold doesn’t have to end!
On September 17th, Plunder Panic, the 6v6 pirate-themed online multiplayer arcade title from Will Winn Games, releases on Steam in Early Access (with a 1.0 launch on PC and consoles to follow in Q1 2022).
Taking inspiration from classic 8- and 16-bit games from the lawless days of years gone by, Plunder Panic pits two teams of up to six players against each other in quick, round-based matches filled to the brim with marauder mayhem. The panic only escalates as a bevy of chaotic weapons, enchanted items, and power-ups that can be wielded drop into matches. Only the scurviest dogs will prevail once the action starts, with victory within reach if the rival team loses either too much of their gold, their ship gets scuttled, or if their precious captain takes a trip to Davy Jones’ locker. It’s up to teams to decide on an offensive or defensive approach!
Key Features of Plunder Panic (not all features will be available on launch day and will release during the game’s Early Access Period):
- Pirate Panic — Fast-paced action-arcade gameplay with elements of platforming, combat, and strategic play
- Multiplayer Mode Madness — Supporting local and online play with up to 12-players (including AI), Plunder Panic features several exciting game modes: Free Play, Tournament, Conquest, Ranked and Unranked, and Captain vs. Captain 1v1. Players can invite friends to private lobbies and also go into Matchmaking.
- Claim Victory — Multiple win conditions offer pirate crews different gameplay strategies. Teams can coordinate to either collect enough gold, sink an enemy ship with cannons or a rowboat of TNT, or defeat the enemy captain.
- Modify-arrs — Matches can be customized with up to six modifiers at once which change up the game rules dramatically. Randomized Captains per round? No captains at all? What about all pirates having a pair of never-ending Seagull Wings? Anything and everything can happen!
- Items Galore — Chaotic items that can be wielded by players can drop into a match at any time. From weapons such as the Blunderbuss, Molotov cocktails, and dynamite to stat-boosting rum barrels and enchanted idols; even squid can be used as weapons (the Kraken doesn’t take kindly to this, though).
- Pretty Pixels — A charming retro pixel-art aesthetic by lead artist Andrew Bonczyk (formerly Insomniac Games)
