“Plunder Panic was originally built as a local multiplayer arcade cabinet supporting up to 12-local players. To prepare the game for broader distribution on PC through Steam, we are recreating Plunder Panic as a networked online multiplayer game that also supports local multiplayer.

During Early Access, we want to further flesh out the online multiplayer side of the game to discover what will continue bringing players back. We will explore elements like player rankings, achievements, character customizations and the like. Across Early Access, we want to further develop the eSports and tournament play aspects of the game. Early Access will also allow us to fully test our internet multiplayer systems for robustness, scalability, and efficiency.”

“The initial early access version includes local gameplay and private online multiplayer matches with up to 12-players. AI opponents can be added to either team so the game can be played with any number of local players from one to twelve. This version also includes five levels, a suite of weapons, and several game changing modify-arrs.

More robust online multiplayer options (eg: matchmaking) will be available soon, as well as additional game modes and modify-arrs.”
