Does this have multiplayer?

[Zaqq]

The game is called Pagan ONLINE, but it only shows "Singleplayer" on the store page. I'm confused.

If you have read ANYTHING about the game, they've stated many times it will be in soon. It was in the beta, however there was issues with it, but once they are ironed out, it will be in. Feel free to read the sticky at the top of this forum, read the description of the game, join the discord.

Thank you for the answer, but in my defence I have to say that nowhere in the short description and in the "ABOUT THIS GAME" section does it mention multiplayer (or lack thereof).

In Bamrak defense you also didn't click on the Frequently asked questions either.. No worries we've all done it.

I think it's a really poor business decision to release a game framed around online play before the online play is ready, and requiring you to be "online" to play singleplayer is a big no no since when the game isn't profitable they will either 1. add in microtransactions and/or 2. shut down the server leaving you with nothing to play.

It's poor business decision to release a game under Early Access phase so you pull in some more income to not to lean on investors such as banks and use your players based to help build and dedicate the hours and money and time to implement things right? I can't remember the last time a Early access that wasn't just a heaps of bugs.

They instead of tossing in Coop enable and having all the bugs that came along with it they did the right thing and took the moral high ground deciding to remove it and say hey we have it and it does work but not to the caliber we want it to be so we're going to remove it and implement it at a later time when we feel it's ready.. VS that give you broken ♥♥♥♥ for 30 bucks and then expect you to just deal with it until they can patch it out generating more and more bad reviews..

Triple A titles need to learn from this small group.

But ok it's a bad business decision.. -_-'

Are you even a gamer?

I didn't say in general that it's a poor decision to release games in EA so all of your points aren't really valid. My supporting point is that this game is supposed to be online and is marketed that way. They clearly made a choice to release it extra early to make sure they get money, but I feel that the short-term gain may have consequences in the future. Unless I follow the game I won't really know when co-op is added and right now the negative reviews make me believe this game has a long way to go. I didn't buy the game because there is no co-op yet, and there is a HUGE difference between a game that is singleplayer that has co-op and a MMO type game so I don't understand why "online" is in the games name. The reviews are not going to be positive because of this, ruining the games first impression. If you are insanely biased and can't think objectively then whatever...

agree on that....Pagan online....but only singleplayer....and yeah fine that this will come....doenst look good for the future of this game and since its wargaming publisher im sure there is a reason why they do this.....cant wait for the microtrans extreme business model.....

Just to chime in and agree with Artaher. We had coop in the beta, however with the issues found once stress testing started, there are far less "is there coop" posts than their would be "fix you #$%# game" posts.

I'd rather them not release something than release something broken. But, if it's that big of a deal, put it on your watch list and come back. Personally I think it'd be worth the wait if it is a deal breaker atm.
