Pioner is a love letter to fans of STALKER and Metro -apkrig
STALKER or Metro fans should pay attention. The Russian studio GFA Games has introduced a new game, Pioner, which according to the first trailer looks really interesting. This is an action survival MMORPG, in which we once again set out into a post-apocalyptic open environment somewhere in the Soviet Union, plagued by clan wars and, moreover, somehow mysteriously separated from the rest of the world.
You have survived the catastrophe itself, but you do not have to survive its consequences. Your task is nothing less than to save yourself and others. But we will encounter not only ordinary enemies, but also all sorts of anomalies. There will be no shortage of various mutations. And they usually won’t have a kind face. You can start the fight alone, with friends or at least with temporary allies. If we don’t have a friend to cover our backs, we should be covered by at least a bulletproof vest, the developers warn.
Thanks to AI, enemies and animals should interact with each other without your intervention. The time of day will affect their behavior.
The authors attract to the thorough creation and development of the character as well as the complex production and modification of weapons. We are supposed to even change and modify our own body. The weather will change realistically and we will also have to change the seasons. Conditions in the world can change very quickly due to anomalies, the team claims. The authors promise a believable simulation of life. Thanks to AI, enemies and animals should interact with each other without your intervention. The time of day will affect their behavior.
The isolated island is to be controlled by four different factions, which compete for power. Depending on who we work for, the balance of power and the story will change. We are free to explore the environment, participate in raids and smuggling. In addition to PvE action, you can also participate in PvP fights. These will take place in special areas, which the team calls Empty Land, and are scattered throughout the island.
The authors want to accommodate players with different fighting styles. Weapons will therefore change the drama. Your access to equipment, as well as other important items and quests will be affected by the so-called Influence Level. It does not affect the statistics themselves or the skills and will increase with the fulfillment of tasks.
The title is powered by Epic’s Unreal Engine and is a joy to watch. Although it was originally announced in 2017, it is only now that it has been fully introduced and shown in action. The pioneer should reportedly be released at the end of this year or the beginning of next year and is heading to the PC. The term seems perhaps too ambitious, but let us be surprised. If possible pleasantly. What do you say to him?
