Flint: Treasure of Oblivion

Flint: Treasure of Oblivion is a tactical RPG with a turn-based combat system. It presents the adventures of pirates, drawing inspiration from the cult novel "Treasure Island" by R.L. Stevenson. The game is the debut work of the French studio Savage Level, which aimed to authentically present the world of sea bandits - in Flint: Treasure of Oblivion there is a place for historical language, costumes and weapons. The creators enriched the experience with fantasy elements.

Plot

The story shows the fate of Captain Flint and his faithful companion Billy Bones. When one of the sea battles ends disastrously for them, the heroes decide to change their fate and go in search of a hidden treasure. On the way, they gather a new crew and also face numerous rivals.

Gameplay

In Flint: Treasure of Oblivion we are transported to the golden age of piracy. The treasure hunt throws us into various locations, allowing us to visit the French city of Saint-Malo or admire the landscapes of Central America. We talk to various NPCs and carry out quests for them, gradually building and developing Captain Flint's crew.

One of the key elements of the game is obtaining loot, which we use to buy useful items and improve the skills of our heroes. Some conversations can be passed using persuasion, while others may force us to reach for our weapons.

Battles in Flint: Treasure of Oblivion are fought in turns. During the clashes, we move our heroes on the battlefield divided into hexagrams. We give out orders that include using firearms and melee weapons, as well as activating skills unique to each character. The outcome of the action is determined by dice rolls, which we influence using the cards we have. The selection of the crew and combining the abilities of its individual members play a crucial role. We wage conflicts on the decks of ships, city streets, as well as in caves and in the jungle.
