It’s exciting when creators of online shooter games experiment with unique approaches. The Distinct Possibility studio has just announced their first project, titled “Reaper Actual“.
This game departs from the conventional turn-based format typical in multiplayer first-person shooter games. Instead, players can enjoy a persistent virtual environment, entering and exiting battles at their own discretion. Consequently, on each server, a continuous battle will take place.
Modern conflict and dynamic gameplay
The game’s events unfold in contemporary times on the make-believe island of Morova, stricken by a violent struggle among five factions. These factions are managed by artificial intelligence. Simultaneously, players assume the position of mercenaries (the main characters, Reapers), exploiting this civil war for financial gain.
Adventurers will establish individual bases on the island, serving as their starting point for an immersive open-world exploration. Their objective is to undertake various missions, some of which may involve working with or opposing specific factions. This game, labeled as a PvPvE, offers engaging combat experiences against both other players and AI-controlled enemies.
The entire scenario is intended to be constantly changing and adaptive. In other words, when we take on a mission like safeguarding an NPC, the game could concurrently create a mission for other gamers to target that same NPC. This dynamic environment will be achieved by leveraging generative AI technology.
- Based on the descriptions provided by the devs, it is supposed to create orders and clients’ faces live.
- However, the models of the Reapers were made by scanning actors in costumes. Every mercenary will be a unique character and players will be able to collect and develop them.
Associations with the PlanetSide series come to mind
The concept of a game that merges First-Person Shooter (FPS) and Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (MMORPG), set in a vast open world, could remind you of the PlanetSide series. This isn’t a coincidence. Matthew Higby and Tramell Ray Isaac are leading Distinct Possibility. The former served as the creative director for PlanetSide 2, while the latter held the position of senior artistic director.
The game “Reaper Actual” is making its way to PC platforms such as Steam and the Epic Games Store. However, the development team has not yet disclosed a specific release date. You can now register for playtests through GameStar.
As an enthusiast, I must admit that the project sounds incredibly appealing. Yet, a slight apprehension arises when considering the integration of Etherlink in the mix as hinted by the trailer. With its involvement, it seems the blockchain foundation and the game itself will somehow be intertwined with cryptocurrencies.
However, at this point, no specifics regarding the game’s monetization strategy have been disclosed, which has left players feeling uncertain, particularly since the game is set to be free-to-play. Nonetheless, investors are optimistic about the project following their recent $30.5 million investment in the development team.
