About this game

Developer description

Quoted from the Steam store page. Read the full description

SCAVENGE, SURVIVE, THRIVE  In ARC Raiders, gameplay flows between the surface ruled by lethal machines, and the vibrant underground society of Speranza. Craft, repair, and upgrade your gear in the safety of your own workshop, before venturing topside to scavenge the remnants of a devastated but beautiful world. Play solo or in parties up to three, navigating the constant threat of ARC's machines and the unpredictable choices of fellow survivors. In the end, only you decide what kind of Raider you are - and how far you’ll go to prevail. EXPLORE AN IMMERSIVE WORLD Explore four distinct maps at launch, with more to be revealed as the underground society evolves and expands its reach. Each destination carries the weight of a world twice-destroyed, and the scars of conflicts both old and new. Sift through the remnants for valuable loot, and piece together the past as it's slowly reclaimed by nature. Evolving map conditions ensure that no two runs are the same, with varying weather, enemies, and mechanics adding unpredictability and danger. STAKE YOUR CLAIM…

“Bought this game again on PC so my friend and I could play the PvE only mode. Having the option to toggle PvP on or off is amazing.

“I had the opportunity to try the game for free, and the time I spent playing it was genuinely fun and enjoyable. However, due to work, I can only play for an hour or two a day. From what I can tell, this game demands more time than I’m able to give. After reading other players’ reviews, I also noticed recurring con…”

“The game is so back! 🔥 I bought this game on Epic Games earlier, but honestly, I wasn’t really happy with that purchase. Now I own a second copy on Steam, and I’m genuinely not regretting buying it again. I left the game a few months ago because, to me, it felt like the game was already dead. But after playing th…”
