About This Game

Despoiler is a Team Objective Arena Racer like no other.
Pilot your hovercraft across the desolate wildlands, scavenging valuable scrap you need to unlock utilities, upgrades, and win the game. It is a game of strategic and competitive escalation. Weak early game performance will have a flow on effect to late game. Don't get too comfortable though: it's possible to snatch victory from the jaws of a crushing defeat.

Main features:
  • 5v5 online
  • Team Objective multiplayer
  • Unique 'strategic escalation' focused game-mode
  • Physically simulated hovercraft
  • Beautiful environments and vehicles
  • Intelligent AI Opponents (optional)
  • Powered by Unreal Engine 4

In Despoiler, teams scavenge valuable scrap from the level, and the team with the most at the end of a match wins. Scrap can be found scattered about the environment - left by the miners who've long vacated the land. Their old silos are also still full of the stuff, so tear them apart with your weaponry and make it rain. Scrap is carried on the hull of your hovercraft where it absorbs damage, functioning like armour, but it's also heavy so the more you have the slower your vehicle will get. Choose to bulk up and tank damage or run rings around your foes.

Drop scrap off at your teams base to unlock Utilities and new Vehicles, equipable in the upgrade garage. Careful though, re-spawning costs your team some scrap, and if left unchecked you can find yourselves set back significantly if you feed the enemy too much. If you do fall behind, you can always make a run on the enemy scrap reserves, clawing your way back into the lead.

Thumbs up for gameplay. Thumbs down for multiplayer only game with totally empty servers. Drive around, collect scrap, upgrade to tank, destroy core. Pretty fun. Doing it against bots, not as much fun. https://youtu.be/lyihxVredpM

I'm a sucker for anything that floats on the ground and shoots missiles, when I saw this game I was taken back to my youth playing the Battle Arena mode of Extreme G 2 on the N64. Despoiler has so much potential to be an amazing game, it looks nice (apart from the UI), the Sci Fi Hovercrafts are so cool. But the game feels like early access, there's no player base, or the server browser doesn’t work, one of the ability unlocks had placeholder text on it? Now if this is early access then keep up the good work, but when I purchased it I was under the impression it was a full-fledged release. Things I think the dev's should add: Better UI, it needs an overhaul More Upgrades (Extreme G style - Invisibility, Mortars, Homing Missile) Game Time - If you’re trying to upgrade in game then I think the games need to be longer (20 min max atm) An actual in game tutorial More ways of finding scrap (the primary resource in the game) Things that are great: Concept Hover craft design Unreal Engi...

Fun game, even if just playing wiht bots still managed to have fun :)). Would reccomend for anyone. Just needs more players and the game would be more fun. Possibly do a free weekend or lower the price a little, just some general feedback. :))

It's empty, the battling sucks, collecting scrap is boring, and the control are janky at best. Kinda want a refund.

Although gameplay and performance could be further optimized, the game has potential. It looks good, features great concept and vehicle design but also feels quite empty... And to play against the bots for me wasn't that fun at all, to be honest. From the gameplay aspect, the game is pretty straightforward, there is not much to do, you basically collect scrap metal from shooting down enemies or towers, then you bring it to the base, unload the scrap on the ground, get points from it, get upgrades with the points and use them in order to get more scrap, rinse and repeat until the timer runs out. However, I spent approx one hour playing the game, both, solo and against bots and after that, sadly, I had little desire to return to the game. I strongly feel what I got is not nearly enough for the price of 17€. I'm really not happy with the idea of having purchased another early access game that it's already dead on arrival, only to be rotting in my library. Sorry for the awful analogy...
