NetEase Games launching an all-new mobile competitive survival looter-shooter, Badlanders, in Southeast Asia on January 14th.
Since the start of beta testing, the game has attracted the attention of players with its fun shooter gameplay and unique looting mechanism. Badlander is available now on Android and iOS devices. Players can download for a brand-new shooter experience via early access.
Badlanders introduces the latest improvements in survival looter-shooter gameplay. The player must reach a designated evacuation point on the map while competing with dozens of other players. Not only must the player evacuate, but also fight over an abundance of items and equipment. Survive, and loot as much as possible, to amass wealth.
Players have several options when it comes to extracting loot and converting it into wealth. They could enter the battlefield without equipment and scour the map for loot to start from scratch. They could also use the in-game modification system to create and equip stronger weapons to defeat opponents. No matter how players proceed, they must bear in mind that if they are defeated, their enemies will get all their resources. Evacuation is the key, with the battlefield full of risk and opportunities alike. It’s a gamble of life and death. Whether players get rich or lose it all depends on their skills and strategy.
At the same time, rich gameplay modes provide several options for players to accumulate wealth. There is a variety of in-game maps. Players can slowly build up wealth in the vast desert, or battle with enemies indoors. Travel to and from the large Red Beach building to seek the best equipment hidden in the mysterious code room. The innovative stats system can add hundreds of special attributes to your combat equipment based on players’ strategies. Players can explore various possibilities on the battlefield and gameplay.
In addition to the survival looter-shooter gameplay, the possibilities for free trade and cultivating items were very satisfying for most beta testers. Through the free in-game trading system, players can set prices and sell their loot to other players, earn in-game tokens, and buy more powerful equipment. Players can also purchase discounted materials to modify and build rarer equipment in the system. In this way, they can experience the joy of building up their collections through trade.
Badlanders are now available via early access on Google Play and the App Store. The game fully releases on January 14th.
You can also go to the Huawei and Oppo app stores to pre-register and receive valuable rewards like rifle sets, sight sets, and limited-edition avatars and skins.
