A supernatural action adventure game
FlintLock: The Siege of Dawn is an action-adventure RPG (role-playing game) in which the “door to the afterlife” has been opened, and an army of undead soldiers has come through. The player must embark on an ”epic” journey to save mankind as the undead lead an assault on all life.
This game can be likened to other third-person RPG games, such as Fallout 4 or Dragon Age: Inquisition, with the story and setting being more fantasy, such as the latter. The game heavily emphasizes weapon-based combat and mixes fantasy weapons with magic and guns.
A blending of genres
While Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn is ostensibly a fantasy role-playing game, it brings in elements of more futuristic elements, including science-fiction-like scenery and gunplay. The enemies the player will face are more traditional in their fantasy aesthetic, including things like skeleton warriors and other eldritch terrors.
Open-world exploration
The game features a large open world for the player to explore. There are several distinct regions in that world, and each one is rendered with a high level of detail. These include desert areas, cavernous ruins, and towering cities. There are also many different types of creatures to battle with, from regular beasts to powerful beings with weapons and magic of their own.
Fantasy violence
Players of similar action RPGs may find this game appealing, though the level of violence is not suitable for all. Both supernatural creatures and humans are the targets of this violence, so younger players and players of a sensitive disposition may not be the best audience for this game. The player will need to enter into combat matches with these creatures on a regular basis throughout the game.
