Fragpunk is another free-to-play, 5v5 shooter that will fight for your attention soon, but with an interesting wrinkle that could potentially attract your interest a little more than other recent attempts.This hero shooter lets you fundamentally change the rules of a match using powerful cards, letting you cover the map in thick grass to make hiding a little easier, or expanding the head sizes of foes to make those headshots a little easier to pull off. There are currently 70 cards planned for the game, each with their own distinct effect on a round of gameplay.

It's unclear yet what each one's distinct abilities will be, and whether they're tied directly to the cards you're able to use during skirmishes. Regardless, it looks a bit ridiculous in an entertaining way, which might give it an edge in an already crowed marketplace.Continue Reading at GameSpot...
