FragPunk is surging up the Steam charts, but its microtransactions aren't a hit

I've been excited about FragPunk since I played it back at Summer Game Fest. Blending the traditional Valorant-style hero shooter format with Slay the Spire-esque modifiers that change up every round, it's a unique take on the traditional FPS format. Released on Thursday March 6, the game has certainly drawn impressive numbers on Steam, but its nine different currencies and costly microtransactions have left players frustrated.
