'Badlanders' Available On Steam Early Access - Screens & Trailer

Badlanders is a competitive survival looter-shooter that brings a brand new escape mechanism and exciting looting experience.

The Red Beach Shelter once housed the world's most advanced weapon tech. However, it was short-lived as war broke out. The only things left on that beach are massive ruins, competing scavengers, and endless opportunities... Gear up and get ready to enter the hot zone of riches and danger!

25 badlanders, each with their own objective enter the battlefield. Take enemies head-on to strip them of their loot or slowly build up an arsenal from chests scattered across the map. But don't get too distracted, finding valuable loot and getting it out in one piece is what you came here for!

Unlike traditional battle royales, Badlanders adopts a new survival escape mechanism. After entering the game, players can win by evacuating via escape points scattered across the map. Winning is no longer just for one player or a team. The looting mechanism also changes the game's ultimate goal — players are not there to be the last one standing, but to loot as many supplies as possible and take them out of the battlefield for some earnings. Players can configure their weapons and equipment at will before entering the battlefield, but please be noted that you may risk losing all your top-level gear if the opponent defeats you. Likewise, entering the battlefield without any equipment might lead to escaping with a pretty penny. Make a fortune or end up with nothing — it all depends on your strategy and skills.

Enjoy the adrenaline rush of intense encounters? This battlefield is for you! Whether you're armed to the teeth enjoying a battle advantage, or just relying on a knife in the hopes of catching someone off guard and stealing their gear, war is always the fastest way to wealth. Here, some become rich overnight while others lose it all.


Badlanders is available through Steam Early Access and will remain so for the next 1-3 months.

“We have planned a variety of features and content to be added during development such as improving our multi-linguistic system, game scenery and gameplay, new UI and new maps. During the Early Access we will include our community feedback and suggestions to fix bugs and further polish the game performance and improve the game experience.”

Participate in game events to win exclusive skin Club Felt Hat and other generous gifts. Multiple surprises and unique Survive & Loot experiences are waiting for explorers in the journey to the Red Beach!

Diverse modes provide a variety of options to accumulate wealth. Players can choose between an immersive first-person mode or an open third-person mode. With the game's various maps, players can accumulate wealth in a vast desert, fight against enemies indoors, or travel to and from the Red Beach building to seek the best equipment hidden in the mysterious code room. There is also an original stats system with hundreds of special attributes for combat equipment. How to configure them depends on players. They can enjoy the high degree of battlefield freedom and unveil various modes for exploration.

How to increase your chances of survival to obtain more loot? Enhancing your gear may be a good idea. Weapons, armor, grenades... All enhancements can be brought into the battlefield. But beware, the greater your gear, the more you’ll attract the attention of other badlanders eager to take it off your hands.

There are hundreds of unique options for gun accessories and attachments, some of which even support customizations. The rich attribute choices allow you to explore the unlimited possibilities of tactics. Additionally, the camouflage system enables you to make guns your style icons. Come and create your ultimate weapons!

In addition to the Survive & Loot gameplay, the high level of freedom out of battle is a feature of Badlanders. Supplies taken from the battlefield can be freely traded in the Auction House. Players can make decisions on selling the supplies for in-game cash to increase wealth, or buying accessories and using the Gun Bench to build their own exclusive artifacts. There is also a manufacturing system that randomly produces equipment with the best attributes. Even microtransaction items can be resold for the marked price.

Badlanders is in development for PC (Steam).
