Actually we paid voice actors so you're just telling fibs now. Originally posted by OneEyeTyler:Your spooky ghost tales don't scare any of us mate.Ģ. Blackwake is a round based game focused on Naval battles with up to 54 players with 7 and 13man crews. SoT You're limited to 5 people per crew and it's a sandbox multiplayer game of up to 30ish people. That's like saying the Division would kill Battlefield, shooting guns and people in a city but now you collect loot. Just because it's pirates doesn't make it the "blackwake killer". I'm sure a lot of people will like SoT but considering it's Windows 10 only and not coming to Steam (going to microsoft store) that is a bit annoying for some people who want ship battles.Īlso the game is in a completely different genre. Why would we feel threatened by Sea of Thieves? We've made our money and now we can keep working on the game and finish it without the stress of income. Sure it's rough around the edges, but compared to a lot of early access indie bloat out there on Steam for similar pricing Blackwake's sitting at 90% positive with 6k reviews.Ĥ. Considering it's our first game and that we had a very small budget to work with, I think we've done pretty damn good. I think you may be lacking in a sense of humor since it was inspired by Chivalry and Monty Python. It's buggy which is hence why it's labled as EARLY ACCESS. But be warned, it is still in Alpha so it is by no means the finished article.Your spooky ghost tales don't scare any of us mate.ġ. If you have some spare time and like being shouted at in a pirate accent then I would urge you to check out Blackwake. Although that’s as far as it goes in regards to mutinies, none of that HMS Bounty stuff. Anyone can elect themselves captain and if the crew don’t like you, they can vote to mutiny and remove you from the captaincy. Everyone can do any job from repairing ship to loading and firing the cannons. What I like about this game is, apart from the captain, there is no forced classes. There is a treasure hunt mode similar to capture the flag but with treasure and island forts. It’s win/win, baby.īut it’s not all ship to ship battles, ala Master and Commander. Loading a cannon 20XP, manning the pump 20XP, disintegrating the crew of a passing ship with grapeshot 300XP. Your character levels up very quickly and with each action in the game you gain experience points. But the gameplay is extremely entertaining and easy to learn. You have to work together otherwise you’re dead in the water.Ī game like this would normally be quite complex and difficult to master. I absolutely love Blackwake, and its premise of the game is simple: sink the bad guys and try not have your head taken off by a cannonball. I’m starting to get used to this.īlackwake is a multiplayer naval FPS where the accents are outrageous and you need work together to stay alive and, more importantly, stay afloat. The screen goes black and I’m dead - again. I respawn and find that pirates have boarded our ship and I get shot in the head. I’m dead and the beloved HMS PinkPinkUnicorn is full of holes and sinking fast. I get the ship in my sights and then I am catapulted 30 feet into the air and land in the water with a heavy splash. The captain is issuing orders in a shrill public-school boy accent as we come to engage the enemy ship, which is fucking massive. Normally, I would be sipping some form of alcoholic beverage with an umbrella in it, but instead I’m shovelling powder and shot into a hot cannon in eager anticipation of blowing a hole in the side of an enemy ship. It’s a hot and sunny day in the Caribbean.
