Krunker.io (also known as just Krunker) is a free browser-based multiplayer online first-person shooter video game, created by brothers Sidney and Vincent De Vries.
It was released for browser on May 20,2018 as an open beta , and went gold on January 29,2019.It can be played on mobile browsers, and the newly released Official Krunker Application.
The Desktop/Linux enabled Client Versions were released on April 10th,2019.
The game was later transferred over to Yendis Entertainment PTY, a company owned by Sidney and Vincent De Vries, for further development.
Gameplay
editKrunker.io is a multiplayer first-person shooter game. Players may go to the main page and automatically be placed in a Public Lobby, or find a Lobby of their liking in the Server Browser. They can also join user created Custom Lobbies or Host one of their own lobbies.Keep in mind that players with user account can only make progress in Public Lobbies. There are 5 different game modes available in Public Lobbies and 18 different game modes in Custom Lobbies. Players can also choose from 18 different classes , each with its own unique load out of Primary, Secondary and Melee Weapons.
The game play is extremely fast paced and has an unique combination of movement mechanics like bhopping, slidehopping and wall jumping. These movement mechanics used to be frame rate dependent, but based on an influx of people without proper equipment, the game was properly optimised to give 60 fps players the same advantage to those with a better, more handled PC. A Client version of Krunker was released for a more optimised performance.
The graphics are similar to minecraft[1], with blocky characters, but the cosmetics and weapons are more detailed and realistic.
Users can also play in user created maps, or use user created mods which alter the gaming experience significantly.There are also several events like the CanTeen Tournament[2] , where several popular Australian influncers (Crayator, Loserfruit and the Misfits) played krunker for charity. There is also a weekly tournament series[3], with a 1000$ cash prize, which is held in various regions alternatively (OCE, NA, EU and ASIA).
Krunker is also being released in Steam soon[4]
