Black State

Gameplay

In Black State we watch the action from a third-person perspective (TPP). Although at first glance we are dealing with a classic representative of the genre, the game is distinguished by allowing doors to smoothly transport us to different locations and throw us into the vortex of various, often unexpected events.

Thanks to them, in one moment we can move from a climatic mansion to a rushing metro, only to find ourselves in enemy-occupied territory a few seconds later. However, it is worth ing that at any moment we have the possibility to return to the locations that we leave behind, which gives us control over the exploration.

On the way, we carry out the missions set before us and face our opponents. The protagonist can hide behind cover, sneak behind enemies and eliminate them silently. Nevertheless, we often also have to resort to weapons and engage in open combat.

On the battlefield, we make use of a rich arsenal that includes pistols, assault rifles, shotguns, grenades, and useful combat gadgets. In addition, the hero can slow down time, which allows him to quickly deal with groups of enemies, as well as perform brutal finishing blows on stunned foes.

Apart from hostile people, so-called Robosapiens - machines created solely for killing - also stand in our way. We also have to face much more powerful bosses from time to time. Defeating them requires familiarizing ourselves with their attack patterns and discovering their weak points or gaps in defense.

Engine

Black State runs on Unreal Engine 5.
