Want to go resource hunting with self-built mechs? The MMO Pantropy will soon allow you to do that in its early access phase.
The German development studio Brain Stone Games has ambitious plans with Pantropy. For example, no microtransactions are planned.
An MMO with Mechs and Base Building
What is Pantropy? The MMO places you in a distant world. In this world, three factions fight for dominance. It is important to build fortifications and mechs. With the combat colossi, you try to destroy other players’ fortifications while protecting your own base.
- However, you need resources to build. So you must venture into the vast game world, to search for resources there.
- Along the way, you will encounter not only other players but also many other opponents who will make your life difficult.
- You choose one of the two player factions. The third party is controlled by NPCs.
- You explore several biomes to search for important resources.
- During your journey, you fight members of the other factions. PvE and PvP are mixed together.
- With the resources, you continuously upgrade your own mech.
- You can even control vehicles that require a crew.
- You also use the resources to expand your fortress.
- You try to conquer territories for your faction.
- Global events take place regularly.
- Quests guide you through the game world.
Early Access is Coming Soon
How advanced is Pantropy? Development is progressing well. On January 31, the online game will enter early access.
The developers state that they are making rapid progress. Just recently, a major update was completed, which greatly improves performance.
How does Pantropy differ from similar online games? Pantropy can perhaps be compared to Warframe. You are in mechs, completing missions and fighting enemies. The difference, however, is that in Pantropy you can further and more individually upgrade, expand, and optimize your mech. This is based on a modular system.
Additionally, you are not just in the mech, but also running around as a human in the game world.
Are there already opinions on the MMO? Kickstarter backers are already allowed to play an alpha version. They state that Pantropy has great potential and is already fun in its early version. However, there are still many issues. The AI does not quite cooperate yet and there are still some bugs present – which is, however, normal for such an early development phase.
From January 31, you can also join in the early access phase of Pantropy.
