Raiders of the broken planet

In the test, Raiders of the Broken Planet left us mixed feelings: Although the shooters had good ideas, too little content and too many grinds quickly took the wind in the sails. So thought a lot of others, because Raiders of the broken planet could not inspire enough players now relaunched as Free2Play title under the name of Spacelords.

As a MercurySteam developer (Castlevania: Lords of Shadow), Spacelords will be available for free on August 23rd. This is not an update, but a "new game based on Raiders of the Broken Planet". The revival will be interesting for newcomers who want to immerse themselves in a great universe of science fiction, as well as for veterans.

According to the director of the game, Enric Álvarez, the new name was chosen because "Raiders" only referred to one aspect of the game. It is mainly about Aleph, a precious substance that every faction of the game wants to claim for itself. Who controls the resource, also becomes the Spacelord, which governs the universe. So, you do not want to change the tradition of the game with the name change, but rather unite everything in the title.
