Marauders

this game got left behind in the world of looter shooters, it was better than arc yet the stopped caring about content updates and failed to do anything about the cheaters.....

Do not buy this game! Worst case scenario, you're getting a game that's been abandoned. Best case scenario, you're buying a clunky, unfinished game, that's in the process of being torn down and remade. Yes, the dev post from April is all about apologizing, 'making things right' and all the other boilerplate corporate buzzwords you've heard before. Developers had all the time in the world to inform us that they've hit a roadblock. A single post along the lines of 'we're having problems with the game, so updates won't be happening for a while'. Instead they left us in the dark for well over a year, only to surface with a half-assed apology. This points to a situation where the devs are done with the game and have decided to rush it as quickly as possible, just so they can slap a '1.0' on the game and be done with it. Do not trust them. Do not get this game early (or at all). Do not give them any more money.

If you are new to the game you better like playing against people who played the game non stop in the past few years and knows the maps like the back of their hand, because that's pretty much all that looks like is left. Tried a few games and watch friends play and almost always ended up the same way. Dead the the hand of a heavely armored guy with a "big" gun. At this point the game is not new player friendly. More and more I feel this type of game is only really fun when it comes out. Once the super chad that spend all their free time playing are to common up start seeing cheaters on top of them and the game is no fun anymore. At least for the more casual players.

game used to be amazing updates were coming out at a good pace the community was a healthy mix of toxic and friendly this was one of the first games i played when i switched to pc and it taught me the fundamentals of keyboard and mouse the atmosphere was insane sounds echoed in hallways bots running at you with knifes on prison it was a experience i had a very good time in this game and have put a couple hours into it but now the game is dead i do not care what macdallan says in the community its dead the devs are no help there discord is full of the same Q&A and at this point even if a update was released it has been so long and the community members feel betrayed i doubt this game would catch hype again dont waste time paying for this game only a couple people even play this game anymore save your money and buy something else with your friends RIP marauders and a BIG middle finger to the DEVS

this game was amazing at its peak, but then, as usual, was overrun by cheaters and poorly handled by the devs. Since then, its been abandonware

Dumped into 1.0 and the devs ran with the money. 5 people online right now, don't bother. I'd recommend anyone who bought this on steam to request a manually reviewed refund under the pretence of falling victim to a scam - the developers blatantly lied multiple times on roadmaps, community posts and social media on upcoming content to maximise sales before rug-pulling the game, so there's a good chance you'll get the refund. EDIT: Having looked at other reviews, the developers appear to have volunteer moderators replying as developers to negative reviews assuring people that "While development has slowed, we haven’t “abandoned” the project." - the last update was ~19 months ago, this is a complete lie to try and wring one or two sales from a rug-pulled game, if you also bring this up in your refund request then valve should take it more seriously. Supposedly the 'developer' spreading this narrative is actually a community moderator, but I cannot confirm this. EDIT 2: It also appears that the developers / moderators are locking any and all discussion threads that mention the game being dead, or having a dwindling player base - even locking threads that simply ask for a singleplayer mode for the dead multiplayer game that the debelopers maintain is alive and well.

Honestly one of my fav games that has unfortunately became dead, the devs have came out to claim they are still working in silence and i am hoping that when they drop the big update itll pull in a huge wave of players back and new ones. dont listen to all these negative reviews there is alot of content in this game and a wide option of maps and mini objectives to do in all maps, this game is amazing and it has been review bombed but the devs havent pulled the plug and that makes me trust their word on it being still a passion project

This game ♥♥♥♥♥ all over Arc Raiders... can't believe they let it go like this. The game was amazing, just lacked the playerbase. Why not try one last hurrah? Steal some of Arcs ideas, fix a few things here and there, mainly AI, and bring this game back. I'll play this over Arc any day!
