Outriders
Apr 01, 2021 5 years ago
Outriders is a 1-3 player co-op RPG shooter set in an original, dark and desperate sci-fi universe. As mankind bleeds out in the trenches of Enoch, you’ll create your own Outrider and embark on a journey across the hostile planet. With rich storytelling spanning a diverse world, you’ll leave behind the slums and shanty towns of the First City and traverse forests, mountains and desert in the pursuit of a mysterious signal. Combining intense gunplay with violent powers and an arsenal of increasingly twisted weaponry and gear-sets, Outriders offers countless hours of gameplay.
What it’s like
Outriders delivers a visceral, high-octane blend of third-person shooting and ability-based combat set in the desolate, war-torn world of Enoch. The experience is defined by its 'gun-powder' aesthetic, where visceral gunplay seamlessly integrates with supernatural powers that allow for explosive, crowd-control heavy encounters. While the narrative presents a desperate sci-fi premise involving humanity's flight to a new star system, it serves primarily as a backdrop for the gameplay loop rather than a focal point. The core appeal lies in its deep character progression systems and build variety, encouraging players to experiment with synergistic gear sets and skill trees. The atmosphere is gritty and oppressive, reinforcing the struggle for survival against hostile alien forces. Although the world offers diverse biomes to traverse, the exploration is secondary to the relentless combat rhythm. Ultimately, it is a power fantasy focused on satisfying mechanical feedback and cooperative synergy over narrative depth or technical perfection.
