Blackwind

"Blackwind is an enjoyable twin-stick shooter that features intuitive gameplay and a wealth of satisfying moves. That being said, if its campaign was structured in a more comprehendible manner then it would be a much more fulfilling adventure."

"Despite certain occasional situations, Blackwind is simple, fun and has the ideal difficulty level. The considerably short stages will always make you want to play one more time, and because the platinum trophy isn&s;t hard to get, this could very …"

"Blackwind is a decent hack-and-slash action game with fast agile gameplay and a good mix of puzzles and platform sections. The story and cartoon-stylised cutscenes were enough to keep me invested in wanting to find out what happens next, and …"

"Blackwind has very entertaining combat and a well thought out progression, but its platforming, camera, and certain enemies, as well as bugs and glitches, make the game clunky and undercooked."

"Overall, Blackwind is a regrettably forgettable game. Unable to decide if it’s a twin-stick shooter or a hack-and-slash, with repetitive (and sometimes downright boring) level design, and cringe-inducing voice-acting, there’s little to recommend here. Honestly, the best way I can …"

"It is accurate to say that BlackWind didn&s;t present anything really inovating, but it combined several formulas (successfully) and presented a very pleasant experience. A title for players who like different styles and enjoy a gratifying gameplay, without many compromises. …"

"The potential for something fascinating was there, but unfortunately, the game&s;s first hour gave us a false impression, as the promising combat model and exploration became a repetitive, prolonged slog way before the end credits. Too bad."

"Blackwind is an ambitious game that proves it can do it all – just not at once."

"Heavy mechs smashing up alien threats is always going to be entertaining, but just be wary of expecting too much out of Blackwind other than straightforward action with some slight detours."

"Blackwind is a beat &s;em up with fun combat and progression that feels hampered by a mediocre story."

"It isn&s;t downright bad by any means, just like going back and playing the original God of War on PS2 isn&s;t bad either. But that design is really only excusable in the context of its time. Blackwind will have some …"

"All and all, it’s about what I’d expect from a game built in Unity. Blackwind feels like it was originally designed to be a mobile game and changed at the last minute when they realized there were too many commands …"

"It’s difficult to recommend on a story basis thanks to its generic narrative, and even harder to recommend on a gameplay basis thanks to the slew of glitches, loose controls, and boring progression. With more time and refinement, Blackwind could …"

"What can I say, my ears always perk up at the suggestion of a game that in any way features mechs..."

"Ultimately, Blackwind is very much a budget experience. If you go in knowing what to expect however, there’s a lot of fun to be had here. Its combat is competent and engaging, there’s a solid upgrade tree to work your …"

"Blackwind presents a sci-fi platforming world that is fun to smash through and fly around its desolate landscapes. However, it sticks with its formula of killing enemies and unlocking areas so tightly that it lacks spontaneity and becomes too predictable …"

"Blackwind has the right ingredients for an engaging and challenging game, but the lack of proper difficulty balance and camera frustrations prevent it from hitting the right marks."

"‎Blackwind stays in an entertaining and fun game. ‎‎It could have been a good game, but‎‎ the gameplay and fun can be turned into frustration by that camera already mentioned above. Even in this way I have to say that …"

"There aren’t enough hack-and-slash action games with a sci-fi setting, but Blackwind stumbles pretty hard and makes enjoying it consistently a challenge. The game’s camera is the worst offender, but issues with platforming, balance and combat are also parts of …"

"With every aspect of Blackwind comes a new laundry list of issues big and small that make it feel like it should have been incubated a while longer."

"Groundhog slay"

"Failing to stack up anywhere near it’s contemporaries, Blackwind is a hollow exosuit complete with unengaging combat, mind-numbing exploration and puzzle elements, repetitious presentation, poor story and baffling design choices. There are plenty of potentially great ingredients to this package, …"

"Blackwind is as utilitarian as a bank statement and painfully middle-of-the-road. It&s;s tough to recommend that you play this game because we can scarcely remember anything notable about it from our own playthrough. Yet at the same time, it doesn&s;t …"

"Have you ever wondered, how playable would be a mixture of James Cameron&s;s story from Avatar and God of War&s;s hack &a; slash mechanics? Because Blackwind offers you just this experience, wrapped in a janky camera, poor voice acting and …"

"Overall though, Drakkar Dev and Blowfish Studios’ science fiction action adventure platformer mech based hack &a; slash Blackwind is a fun little adventure. You trek through the various areas that you’ll get to explore on the planet Medusa-42 as you …"

"After great first impressions showcasing fun gameplay and interesting characters, it quickly becomes a fascinatingly bad example of mech combat, lacking feedback, foresight, and fair play. Unbelievably boring offensive capabilities, a nonsensical story, and hilarious voice acting which tries its …"

"While it&s;s packed with old-school hack and slash action, Blackwind&s;s lack of variety and lackluster mechanics leave a lot to be desired."

"The issues in Blackwind aren&s;t insurmountable and it&s;s possible to have some fun with the combat, but it&s;s clear that it still needs some work. An update with camera options, a proper map system, and improved jumping would be worth …"

"Sadly, as it is, I can’t really recommend this to anyone because whatever little good it may do, the bad outweighs it by quite a bit."

"Blackwind has a lot of promise, but fails to deliver on it. Smooth controls can&s;t make up for repetitive combat and bad design choices."

"Blackwind is a third-person hack-and-slash game about a teenager piloting an experimental mech suit to search for his dad and fight aliens. It’s fast, visceral, and mostly satisfying to play. Unfortunately, it also suffers from weapon imbalance, repetitive combat animations, …"
