marauders impressions marauders early access gameplay marauders full gameplay marauders early acess gameplay
I bought it straight away last night and played, the feel of moving and aiming is great, much less clunky than something like tarkov. To me it's what I like about tarkov, without all the crap that I don't like.
Couldn't agree more and I'm worried people giving bad reviews on steam will hurt the player base.
No long loading. Tarkov was just so much waiting for me when I started. The game is more arcade-y but not too much. I like the simplification without going overboard about it. I hope they keep updating it with lots of stuff. The gameplay loop allows for better story freedom too. Space can have anything. Mutants, space ghosts, robotic drones, space wizards. Everything just makes it more thematically coherent than tarkov in my opinion.
agreed
interesting, im a veteran tarkov player and was really excited for this, i feel like the gunplay is comparably clunky and doesnt feel as intense. But to each their own, just my opinion. Id like to see how mauraders improves in development
@@fergguitar9965 in my opinion i played marauders at first on a 3050 ti and it felt cluncky because of the games performance on low-end gpus but when I switched to my desktop 3080 where i hit the 144fps cap all the time it felt so good and smooth.
The whole thing that it is a Dieselpunk just pulls my interest even more for this game
Get it Fuzzy! Do it!
Terry has spoken! I downloaded it 😄
@@ZAFuzzy how is it?
@@haydenwatters2268 It's great! I never could get into Tarkov, but Marauders I can see myself putting in a lot of hours
I'm interested in it too, sadly only for the setting, not the Multiplayer aspect. Maybe there's someday an offline map like for tarkow
If it reaches a good level of customization as ships, skins etc. and filled whit secondary quests is a must try, looks promising btw
You can only change ship weapons atm. There are plenty of skins and different daily quests. It definitely has a strong future!
Keep in mind the price will also increase as they get closer to full release.
There are daily contracts as well as stagnant tasks that give loot, xp, and faction rep.
@@bootywarrior9621 Hoping that complete version will add '' variety'' then, cool concept 👌
@@0Ciju0 tarkov is a 150 dollar drop and anyone who appreciates the level of gameplay and design within that game knows its worth every penny. They make the game worth it that price tag wont matter much. and it will only help against cheaters.
Game has ton of potential, feels like a cross between The cycle & Tarkov. Things do look a little to simplified, sometimes certain mundane task can encourage the value of higher loot or make grinding worth while. Could definitely see this game being super popular with some subtle updates with community opinion ofc
1:30 actually thats my biggest problem with these kind of games: after a couple of days every match/raid/whatever WILL be full of sweatlords, leaving no room for occasional or casual players.
maybe add match making or anykind of mmr. low mmr in games like hunt showdown are usually not full of sweats
The "base" weapons though, like the MP40 that you start with are more than enough to take out high geared players. Its no way near as sweaty as Tarkov
Even the starter pistol you get free on the rust bucket can 3 tap heads It's plenty enough to get a kit off ai and snowball
I've never had that be a huge problem in a game like Tarkov. If you have bad gear you definitely have to alter your play style, but you can easily kill pro's if they don't hear you coming with literally any weapon
@@Sylusssss I have ran in naked only using the starter pistol, 2 tap a a player on the head, looted his MP-40 and went to to town in pvp
Tarkov started off more simplified then what it is now, the same could be for this as well. So all the simplified things talked about may get more complex as the game grows.
I hope it doesn't go to complex.
I would rather not.
true
That was tarkovs downfall, adding too much armor and weapons
@@massivcack Agreed. The amount of time it takes to put together a loadout and grind to have decent gear gets old quick.
They definitely should add some planetary combat but on completely alien planets or Moon's. Like imagine a game on mercury where the game timer is literally the sun rising
Gey
What really gets me for this game is the fluidity if the ship combat and boarding. Its soo fun to do.
Something I’ve missed since worlds adrift shut down. Was so fun boarding peoples ships and trying to down them or steal them.
To be honest, simple is better. You look at a game like Chess - and yes, I'm pulling the Chess card - it has stood the test of time because it's well designed. There aren't a ton of moving parts. It does what it does and the depth comes from countless hours spent mastering strategies. Tarkov is a cool game, but it's a daunting game. You should not require spreadsheets to understand how the ammo works, but in Tarkov you absolutely do. There's so much external to the game that you need to absorb to even compete. I remember photoshopping maps myself for my friends and I, so we would know our extracts when we were scavs vs pmc's, where valuable loot was, etc. ... it's a hassle to be frank. The game is great, but if you aren't trying to take on a second job then it isn't going to hold your attention. I think this game needs to position itself as Tarkov light, where the feature creep is reduced but the scope and depth of gameplay is not sacrificed. Just because there aren't 43 ammo types, and you need to break down damage into an excel sheet to determine if you should aim for the head or legs, doesn't mean the game is worse off for it. I think this could be a far better game than Tarkov, and all it has to do is achieve addition by subtraction. Reduce bloat. Keep the simple things simple and know where to expand complexity. I am keeping my eye on it, because Tarkov is too exhausting to stay involved in - but this could strike the sweet spot if development proceeds smoothly.
This game looks good but the multiple Steam reviews discussing the number of hackers is not. Hacking is also raised elsewhere such as Reddit. You really should mention this as it makes the game an instant avoid, early access or not... At least until it gets addressed (if they do). Edit - It does appear that they are attempting to rectify the hacking issue with ban waves and scheduled anti cheat implementation. Hopefully they succeed in getting it under control.
First watch on your channel, you earned a quick sub. If your other reviews are as thorough yet concise, and as fact based as this one was then I'll be a long time viewer.
Appreciate you covering this game man!
The ship fighting and docking reminds me a lot of sea of thieves. To me this is like EFT, hunt showdown and SoT had a baby and I’m all for it
Remember when Hunt wasn't over ran with hackers? I do. And I miss it. A lot
@@DrMurdercock I have been playing tons of hunt recently and I havent seen a single hacker yet
@@KyloshianDev Then you must be bad at the game. No offense, but if you're getting into lobbies with high tier players, you will find the hackers that myself, and MANY others know exist
@@DrMurdercock tbf I'm like 100hrs in and at match mmr of 3. I feel like I'm good for my hours put in but yeah I have a long way to go lmao. No offence taken btw we all start somewhere, I feel like I've had some very suspicious deaths but it's hard to tell
@@KyloshianDev Enjoy it while you can man. Once you rank up, you will run into these losers. It sucks to lose hard work to a hacking program
Definitely buying I can’t wait to play this game! Hopefully they’ll be able to keep hackers under control and provide good updates.
Just stay away from asian servers and you are cool lmao.
Hows that working out for you know? lol
This game looks really cool and I like how it simplifies a lot of stuff from Tarkov. Only thing I worry about is if there’s a system in place to prevent new players from getting steamrolled so hard that they literally cannot bounce back. That happened to me when I played Escape From Tarkov and I couldn’t get into it because of it. Also the timers really aggravated me in Escape From Tarkov where I had to wait half an hour before I could play another match. If Marauders addresses stuff like that then I will definitely pick it up.
Every raid your ship spawns with a few items like a pistol and vest etc... So if you ever run out of money you can grab that gear for free and try and get some kills with it
@@andrewcavese1387 Ah ok, that’s cool! Thank you for sharing that information. 👍
In tarkov the only thing you had to wait for was playing as a scav if you wanted to play as a actual player with your gear you could just grab your gear and hop right back in a game.
@@DANE-sh3ss Every time I died as a PMC it gave me a thirty minute death timer. Unless there is an update that I missed, but from what I played there was a death timer.
@@Crow-Dragon haven't played eft in a while but you might be referring to the heal timer which you can pay to heal or use med items
This deserves more likes. Extremely informative
Might check it out, been on The Cycle Frontier which is extraction as well
Important question, How is the connection between regions and is there a setting to change region? Me and my buddy tried to get into EFT but he's in korea currently and i'm US East.. And we cannot get that to work for both of us.
Are you able to spectate your friends when you die? One of my biggest complaints about games like the Cycle is if you die you have to just sit at the menu and wait for your friends, and your friends feel obligated to extract early because you are waiting. If you could spectate your team then it wouldn't be a big deal. I know discord streaming and stuff exists but that is a bit of a pain and not everyone has great upload speeds.
Play in discord Get a second monitor (or use the overlay, but it sucks) Stream to each other at 480p 15 fps Tarkov meta
Its 100% you die its menu screen
Yeah. You don't spectate. You sit instead. It sucks.
@@Sylusssss do a bunch of extra stuff instead of the devs adding an industry standard feature from 2005
It's a shame, I played Tarkov and The Cycle, the later was more enjoyable when it happens however because there is no waiting to heal up and rest up, so if you die you can just hop on again when your teammates return right away, so it was less bothersome, I give credit where is due so the less hardcoreness at least makes the displeasure of dying quicker, Marauders is a quicker games so you don't wait up much
You basicly sold me the game :) Thanks for the vid!
Any time!
Very easy to follow and understand and no fluff you have my sub ❤️
Very excellent game. It’s a mix of vigor and tarkov in space. It’s a game I’ve always wanted. The bits know where you are and that’s dumb. There’s also way to many of them. I’m killing 10+ every match and it’s annoying. The game would benefit if I had a base to build similar to the game vigor. Something like a mother ship for your crew that you could work with together to raid and improve materials. the game, would also benefit from a black market similar to tarkov
Your gear randomly disappears from your character and inventory all the time. Everytime you spawn in a raid you have a chance to lose high value items like blowtorches, sometimes just your armor and helmet, but most of the time its everything on your person. same goes for logging in, stash containers full of items disappear for no reason at all, they also move around, and that deletes items it was moved ontop of. Sometimes putting items in your bag makes the back disappear or just the items. for most of my friends, its crashes, and everytime you crash you have a rare chance of getting your items back but most of the time its lost to the void, and your friends can't loot your body if you crash or alt-f4. ALL of the game breaking issues stem from the developers trying to prevent players from duplicating items and gear. There was several ways to do it, one of wich was to manipulate your internet with lag switches, crashes, and looting your friends corpse after he dies. Then there was dup glitches in inventorys, and ship stash or station boxes. All the developers ended up doing was release an early access nightmare. I have over 50hours invested in the game, I could tell you everything you need to know about zero to hero quest line, and how the best way to make cash is by doing daily 24hr contracts, that the best loot is actually fabric and reinforced metal because due to the craft disassemble system, you can't get those materials and they are required to craft the lvl 8 rigs, and better weapons/ships. My honest opinion, DO NOT BUY MARAUDERS. It is not worth purchasing until the game breaking, inventory losing bugs are fixed at a MINIMUM. Also if you are wondering if the game is going to get better with time, let me tell you, they don't make any money off transactions, no skins, no nothing. the only upkeep to their servers is new players buying the game, and at its price, I don't see that as a genuine, good business model. they have employees working on making new content, maintenance on servers and where is the anti cheat? see where I am going with this? If you don't lose gear to anything except death to another player/ai then its a good game worth its price(unless its hackers killing you every other match)
8:10 I think you forgot that there are also ww1 weapons, like the BAR, Luger and c96 Mauser.
The guns were used in WW2 as well
@@tugspeedman8277 Obviously.
It's like a mini "more completed" version of what Star Citizen is doing!! 😃
Bought the game and I love it! Defo less sweaty than Tarkov. Snowballing is easier for sure and I like how some things are simplified - ammo or armor. Every gun feels viable. Only sound design isnt too great + there are some glitches (which is obvious). I need more time with it, but so far its great
Yeah I agree with you on the sounds. The weapons do need some better effects
About to buy, looking at reviews :))
Great review mate
Very in depth video. Thanks
Maps are kinda generic, animations need a lot of rework, sound too. Other than those Marauders looks great, although CQB will get boring fast if they don't make some bigger maps. I sound harsh but I really want this game to make ot big.
Bigger and smaller maps are coming, but yea sound does need some work.
@@Terrydactyl sponsored?
@@jointy33 nah I'm not sponsored by them
Does the game have missions and rewards like bonus exp/loot ?
Yes There is a main pirate chain and you get 5 daily tasks for 3 side factions
Love the look of this game but at 55 I just can't compete pvp with the younguns. Might still give it a whirl and see how bad I get pwned.
Thanks for the review, yeah I’m gonna get it! Maybe sometime we all can play together I’m not too bad at Tarkov!
It’s an amazingly fun game already regardless of the kinks that need to be worked on
How did they managed to suck so bad on the ship gameplay when they got warframe railjack as a reference
Is there any particular reason you talked over music instead of the game sound of a game you're reviewing?
so is pvp optional? can i play solo and just do raids or missions with only ai or do i always encounter players?
I would also like to know this
I hope it's PvE/co-op. If it's PvP then no thanks.
Game DOA if you can’t play solo.
It's like tarkov Pvpve Pvp is not optional
@@NotCharAznable doa?
sorry to ask can u use a controller
is there an option to play against only the AI?
Looks cool, but my problem with these types of games is that I love the Highs and lows, but cheaters really ruin games like this more so than a cod type game.
Marauders is Tarkov without the 15 minutes of clicking simulator between getting Tarkov'd and dying to a rat whose clutching their pearls like it's a million dollar tournament.
I'm a sucker for most anything with the word "tactical" or "looter" in it.
Tactical Looter Shooter in SPPPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACCCCCCCCCEEEE! :D
Will pick this one up.
Defo!
is this gonna have season wipes like tarkov?
They are hoping they dont need them, instead there is a prestige system where after u get lvl 50 you can reset everything except your questline cosmetics, faction reputation and prestige benefits, to earn prestige tokens that can be used to expand your stash, buy cosmetics (only 1 cosmetic available for prestige tokens currently tho) and buy more hangar slots.
Tarkov without the 10 minute load times
like it so far, but only thing kinda meh about is that all ww2 guns which kinda getting old for me. one thing kinda annoying how long it takes to get out of air lock to loot and end up getting rat out here and there.
Iv only played 17 hours of it, Its fun but lacks a bit of risk i feel like, Mainly because its not hard to get the best gear in the game. You can spawn in with nothing and the game gives you the gear to go from zero to hero very easily. The ship part of the game was cool for about 20 raids then you realise there is no real point in it yes you can breach other players ships but in not a fan of sitting around in space as another ship 3erd parties you as you are fighting onboard. So i find as soon you you spawn in just dock into the station or AI ships to be the best thing. Ships can be lost really easily so the whole crafting of ships and guns for them i feel is just a waste of materials.
I didn’t understand he was saying inventory until like halfway into the video
The big problem with these games is always hackers using aim bots ect it sucks to play call of duty with a hacker but you don't lose anything other than time
Escape *cough* from Tarkov *cough* ?
I do agree with this big time.
If you would stop to blame every death you have to hacking you might actually improve
@@QueenNaya You can't deny that Tarkov is riddled with hackers. I've not played for a while, but have heard it's bad now. The reason that I haven't played for a while isn't because of hackers btw, I have limited time to waste playing poorly optimised games. And inB4 get a better PC... My PC isn't a potato
@@QueenNaya 7:1 Player:Scav kill ratio labs only 1vXer here. Tarkov is unplayable for good pvpers nowadays. Don't @ me if you do geriatric activities like fighting ai or doing quests. Your opinion on hackers is genuinely worthless unless you can go from 300k to 30m playing only labs because hackers don't waste their time in the boomer/newbie maps
Can you talk to enemies in local voice chat like Tarkov?
No, but you have some voiceline keybinds like "Help!" "Hold fire!" and "FUCK YOU!" They might add it sometime though, idk.
I definitely would if I had the money to spend
Idk if I had bad luck with maps or what not but I had to refund the game after I lost all my starting gear because enemies just kept coming and coming to the point where I killed 7 people and the 8th one killed me. 4 raids back to back where this happened was all I could take.
You get a free pistol and ammo in your ship to use when you need to go hunting on the cheap
@@lawlessx9 I know that but what made me refund is that I almost never got to loot anything, it was always constant fighting until I died. Might have been bad map luck, but I felt like I was playing CoD not a Tarkov like game
@@reptofeliator Best rule in Tarkov is " There is always one more" . Feels bad you got bad luck
I get your frustration. I got the game yesterday and I haven’t played much about 5 raids. But the thing I’ve noticed is the second you open that decompression door they are people absolutely everywhere. Like there’s no down time to explore and loot because every 3 seconds enemies are coming at you. I dunno if I was unlucky too but my experience has been very similar to yours.
git gud maybe, sounds like youre complaining because you couldnt kill the 8th guy.
LoL scifi game in future and in arzenal is MP- 40 from WW2. Its crazy
Yeah its a strange weapon choice but its cool!
its set in an alternate 1990's future.
The games lore is that in an alternate timeline "the great war" (which probably means ww2 based on the guns) forced humanity into space but the weapons stayed the same.
Do you lose all the money you have if you die?
just bought it, looks nice
How are you liking it after 5 days in?
If there is one thing I am tired of, its WW II shooters....and now there is a spaceshooter with....WW II weapons.
Yes. There, go buy it!
what game is this?
Got all excited about this game and found out it's PVP only. Damn it had so much potential! Soon to be running rampant with aimbots and other hacks. I'll keep an eye on it though
Been playing for a while, haven’t ran into anything too suspicious, i definitely get my share of kills too. You should consider getting it.
It's PvPvE actually. If you're SO against fighting other players. just rush to the main raid dock, and wait in the airlock until you have about ~12-15m left of air. Most players are long gone by this point and they AI respawn throughout the raid. You're also invinicible as long as you're docked with the station and inside your ship. You need the captains card to open the airlock (which you will have) so you can just wait as long as you like.
0:55 sounds like Rust
the problem with such games is, the community, they dont play for fun they play for loot they dont care they will abuse every game mechanic POSSIBLE to gain the upper hand, tarkov in closed alpha and beta was so good its was peak tarkov, since its public its just play the meta or you lose
tarkov + cod vanguard + everspace = this
some EFT players here to share opinions about this game ? is it worth the money and does it have the potential to coexist with EFT ?
Its a lot more chill than tarkov, but still feels really similar. I think its worth it and has potential, already has a decent amount of content with more to come. The gear is not too hard to get, so the losses arent as devastating, but those big wins still feel really good.
does this have that survival aspect like tarkov does? i hate the stamina and food and shit you gotta watch for as you play. Tarkov has too much of that
Not really, but as you use your stamina your max stamina gets lowered, and you can replenish your max stamina with food and water. Also same thing for taking damage, your max hp decreases and can be replenished with some painkillers such as morphine, aspirin and S P A C E M E T H.
dont know if ill be buying this or not
Starkov !
hmm..ship takes damage and the engine overheats lol.....what kind of universe is this???
I have a steam deck I want it but I see only 40fps I like 60 so idk if I’ll buy,is it PVP only over it had PVE stuff.
Already did
No single player or pve
It’s fantastic
I don’t understand the question in the Name of the video 😜 the answer is obviously YES 🙌
I'm thinking this should run fine on my PC.just looked at specs on steam my system is well above it lol
I want to play it you how can I do that .. I do liked the video and subscribe to the channel
Game set in space with futuristic ships but using outdated weapons?
right??? That luger is from ww2!
It’s set in an alternate 1990s where the war never ended
@@qrator6882 still doesnt make sense, you dont get space travel and Lugers from 1990.
@@rpscorp9457 ww2 went to shit and people had to evacuate into space. No time for weapon development when you have to quickly manage to find a way to get to space lmao.
I find it ironic that they put realistic reload animations in but not magazines
Can I play this entirely solo? Like, with only AI?
No
No, i have no idea why so many people want the game to be PvE only?
@@hittite_gaming I don't want it to be PvE only - I just wanna be able to play it on my garbage internet without a disadvantage :)
@@hittite_gaming some people like to play just PvE. For me, I would like the option to do only PvE because sometimes I don’t want to play against other people, but sometimes I would like to. It’d be nice to have a toggle able option or something.
@@345Jared its just i feel like i have never seen anyone want to as much as with this game
The game looks fun, but what throws me off is the fact that it's pvp. If I wanna die and lose all the shit I spent hours finding. Then I'd just play DayZ or Rust - which I don't, because looter shooters that's pvp focus are not my forte. It doesn't make it any better that your ship isn't a safe haven either.
input lag is maxed out
should i buy tarkov or this game
Tarkov no doubt
I bought this game at 21 dollars it defnetly worth the price
Yes you should
I had this on my wishlist, was pretty excited for it, but it’s not looking as good as I expected. I think I’ll stick with The Cycle: Frontier, I think that’s king of the genre atm now that they’ve finally tackled the hacker issue.
You’re entitled to your own opinion, not bashing, but you wouldn’t say that Tarkov is king of the genre? It did create the genre essentially
@@loganmassey1295 Tarkovs fun for the lil bubble of pve questers that go on the badly designed and boring maps and do abitrary and quite often plain retarded skinnerbox quest progression every wipe but if you're a pvp player the game is fucked and battlestate hates you and will never allow you to sell pve player squads expensive loadouts on the flea ever again.
This game will do great !
I hope so!
Definitely better than buy the edge of darkness (tarkov) in 2018 tbh 🤣🤣🤣
Defo!
8/10 times I didn't even make it to the loot ship 😎
So it’s escape from Tarkov but in outer space
And it’s so much better because of that
@@SneakyCaleb it really is lol it’s just still having problems with optimization bad screen tearing
Bethesda should be taking notes cuz their looter shooter Fallout 76 was a buggy failure
my takeaway is that the game is too expensive for what it is
space tarkov
I like the concept of the game but i am done with world war weapons
And I thought it would be free to play unh for 40 bucks nope to expensive
This game is dipshit fun
Sounded so fun until the PVP. Oh well. Hopefully some other game like it comes alongs without it.
you want a PvE extraction game ?
@@GniggaaaYes.
Game would be good, but this space ww2 settings not acceptable for me.
jew
Another game to be filled with cheaters like Tarkov, the state of PVP nowadays, amazing.
Let's hope not
If I didnt have to play with other toxic, cheating, lagging humans I'd give it a go.
Same. It's set up for PVE just need to allow local servers but PVP only. No thanks. I don't have time to compete with some of the basement dwellers that will be flooding the game. Especially since you lose all your stuff upon death. Will be keeping an eye on it though
I think the guns that are featured doesn't fit the setting of the game, you'd think at least they would have guns modern to the time now
This is what happens when the HLL peeps make a survival game. Looks tits.
No idea if the some of the HLL devs joined the devs who made this
@@Terrydactyl he’s just joking lol
U sound like ur from Bristol
