Blackwind

Mechanics

In Blackwind we observe the action from a top-down view. Moving through Medusa-42, where we can find, among others, sandy deserts, snow-covered mountain peaks or dense forests, we deal with facing the hordes of enemies. On our way are both regular enemies (among which you'll find aggressive two-legged Raknos and oversized spiders) and powerful bosses (led by giant beasts).

Battles are extremely dynamic, and we eliminate hordes of adversaries by fighting in close combat with energy blades, shooting with blasters and rocket launchers, as well as making use of mines and grenades. In addition, our mecha is equipped with a number of special combat abilities, the skillful use of which can change the fate of many a battle. Additional support for us is a special drone, which can be used in combat or during exploration (hovering in the air, it can get to places inaccessible in any other way).

A visit to the planet Medusa-42 does not end with fighting with enemies. In the game we have also implemented platform sections that require dexterity and uncomplicated puzzles. As we progress we develop our armor, unlocking new skills related to fighting and exploration, as well as gaining new special abilities. In addition, the game allows us to modify the color scheme of the mecha.

Game modes

In Blackwind you can play solo or in local cooperative mode, in which the second player takes control of the drone.

Technical aspects

Blackwind has a colorful and eye-pleasing graphics. The mecha and enemy models look good, as well as the particle effects with which the screen is flooded during skirmishes.
