That next free game is Plunder Panic, a swashbuckling pirate ’em up in which teams of up to six players battle it out on the high seas. Here’s how to get your copy. Plunder Panic launched into early access on Steam just a few months ago, and today it receives its first big content update, which adds online matchmaking to its 6v6 arcade-style battles. The aim of the game is to take out the opposing crew, either by stealing their treasure, defeating the enemy captain or sinking their ship. Think Sea Of Thieves, but as a 2D pixel brawler and you’re halfway there. You needn’t worry about rustling up 11 other players if you don’t want to either, as Plunder Panic supports all sorts of team configurations, including local, online and players controlled by AI if you’d rather play solo. Developers Will Winn Games are aiming for a full release next February, and plan to use their time in early access to add more competitive game modes, extra items and weapons, more battle modifiers, additional levels and hazards as well as player stat tracking and individual achievements. You can also help shape what these will be by joining in the game’s official Discord.
