A free-to-play hero shooter with FPP and TPP cameras. Black Stigma takes us to the middle of the war between different syndicates. We can play as diverse characters and have an extensive arsenal at our disposal, including a pistol which can be heavily modified.
So-called hero shooters are a subgenre, whose representatives can much more easily suffer defeat than achieve success. However, this does not mean that there is a lack of developers trying to get a piece of the pie belonging to giants like Overwatch. One of the teams that decided to take on this challenge is the South Korean BoldPlay Games, responsible for the Black Stigma game described here, distributed in a free-to-play model with microtransactions.
In Black Stigma we watch the action from the first person (FPP) or third person (TPP) perspective.
During the game, we play as so-called Masters. They are the agents representing syndicates competing for control over the criminal underworld. The pillar of the game are battles fought as part of various modes. The battle arenas in the game are diverse locations, such as an abandoned subway station, secret hideouts, or the roofs of luxury apartment buildings.
The game provides us with a range of characters varied in terms of gender, appearance, and also combat potential. On the battlefield, we make use of a pistol, which we can adapt to individual preferences. By installing accessories such as a scope, silencer, larger magazine or laser sight, we can transform it into a weapon for short or long distance combat. There also cosmetic elements available, thanks to which we make it a one-of-a-kind weapon.
Additionally, depending on the chosen character, we may have a melee weapon and other murder tools at our disposal, such as a bow. We can also use a variety of abilities, which vary depending on the character we choose.
Black Stigma only allows for multiplayer gameplay. The game has implemented modes such as Kill'em All (where two 3-person teams fight to the death), Get'em All (in which three 3-person teams try to hack each other's safes and get as much gold as possible) and Versus (allowing for one-on-one duels). The icing on the cake is the training mode, where we can hone our skills.
The graphic design of Black Stigma was done in cel-shading technique.
