[Review] Blacklight: Retribution (FPS)

[sandpants]

I am surprised no one mentioned this game here.

 

http://blacklight.perfectworld.com

 

Whilst PerfectWorld is notorious for making shitty F2P games, Blacklight:Retribution, developed by Zombie Studios, is flat out awesome.

It's a free to play first person shooter with fast paced gameplay and many strategic elements, at the core of which is the legitimate "wallhack" - Hyper Reality Visor, or HRV.

You can deploy freaking mech Hardsuits - or defeat them with flamethrowers and burn out the pilot, or rocket their ass to Mars.

 

*VERY high level of customization. Plenty of elements that allow you to create the character YOU want to play. Whether you want to be an assault soldier or medic, or engineer, or a tactician, sniper, defender, even freaking invisible predator sh1t.

*Gun parts interchangable - build your own gun. Craploads of gun parts.

*Ingame combat kiosk - Refill health/ammo, flamethrower, rocketlauncher, giant robots and further unlockable stuff for a complete SMASHING arsenal.

*Variety of gamemodes - along side typical DM and TDM - Domination,KOTH,CTF, Netwar, Kill confirmed and upcoming Siege.

*LEVEL UP WOWOWZOR

*Dubstep and fingerswagging at the end of the match!

*Welcomes new players - each level up you are given 3day rented unloackables for that particular level (check your ingame mails and inventory)

*It looks awesome - up to par with modern games, utilizing Unreal 3 engine.

 

 

 

[Notes]

- Many players come to this game, lose a couple of matches and call this game Pay 2 Win. This is false. Almost everything is accessible with ingame currency permanently, other stuff for rent only. But you do not have to spend a cent/pence/whatever you stoneage people pay with.

 

I am level 35 personally and the only thing you cannot buy in this game with ingame currency is weapon and armor camos. Plus there are free offers when signing up to netflix (equivalent of ~$10 of ingame currency)

 

- There are issue with gameplay. That being said, the game is constantly updated.

 

- It is very fast paced. It takes only 4 bullets to kill standard builds with standard guns.

 

- Standard equip is good and will last you through the whole game.

 

- Levels only unlock new items. Nothing more. Higher level players are not necessarily better/stronger.

 

- At low levels there aren't many parts. But there are premades which use high level gun parts, and they cost about 2 matches worth of GP (ingame currency).

 

- It is a great game. Unique and innovative. Instead of flashbangs you throw BSOD grenades, instead of smokescreens - pixel grenades that pixelate an area. It feels fresh, new and modern.

 

 

 

 

Get it on Steam or on the website for free.

 

  -  this isn't a trailer, but it portrays the game very well. The video is from beta, so the UI is a bit more informative and user friendly and detailed.

Not perfect world

Zombie studious. Perfect world is just a publisher. It's nothing like the other game PW has.

 

Less bullsht than in games like CoD/BF3 with running around 32vs32 map around 8x8km and not seeing anyone for 70% of the time.

 

IT IS a GOOD GAME. Arguing with that by saying "PW" and "Cool toy" is just being ignorant and stubborn.

nice

Loads of new updates scheduled next week (29th January)

 

New weapon system - more intuitive ADS recoil handling and spread

ESL Versus integration - the first and strongest feature to introduce the game to a competitive environment

New weapons and stuff to blow other people with.

New maps.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note: I'm not pulling stuff out of my butt when I recommend this game. It is immense in potential. Freaking Black Ops 2 copied half the game.

 

This isn't a re-release of the same game every once a year like CoD or Battlefield. It is one of a kind beast.

There is a new starter pack you can earn if you are a new player or make a new account.

 

http://www.gamecoach.tv/en/register/blacklight-retribution

 

You create an account there and you should get a couple of Premade items, weapon parts, gear items.

 

It's a generous offer if you are new!
