[Steam] New Free to Play - Blacklight: Retribution - Page 3

post #21 of 153

Been playing this for about a month, Truly what i wanted, Arcade stlye FPS with loads of customization, great use of UE3 (not as samey looking as other UE3 games) and has tactical elements

Also its not pay 2 win, Everything can be earned and you can buy perma items if you save a lot of GP

Just camo's for guns or your character and there are 2 titles that can only be brought with zen, Ofcourse there are chance packs that are in the game which give you special items like the stock helmet with a race stripe, which i own :3

It's not pay to win, there's no way to become stronger than a capped player since all you can buy is equipment with ZEN that they have access to with in-game money, that's not pay to win, that's balance. If anything, that's high level players being upset because they didn't spend money on something they already have, which makes no sense.

Nothing, it's pretty much the most fair cash shop system you can do for a shooter. Make it so you can unlock things faster with real money by buying it asap instead of leveling up to buy it.

I played it during the beta or whatever, gave it a couple of sessions. It was not my cup of tea at all. I don't want to discourage anyone from playing it though, so download it and give it a shot!

I think it's competition is Tribes: Ascend, bu not sure. Aside from some movement and a few other things they are set in the future and roughly similar.

Not really, the closest thing to Blacklight would probably be A.V.A. with a futuristic approach.

Yeah, Steam is having technical issues right now, check back later. It literally just got put on Steam so files are still uploading to the server.

EDIT: Developer just tweeted to restart Steam, the download is working now.


Sorry its not news according to OCN . I did the same thing when CS:GO was announced.
And the thread got closed due to it not being news. I'm surprised this thread is still open. Guess i got unlucky frown.gif

Never played that, but I'll take your word on it. They were both futuristic FPS games to me and I don't really like those, aside from some random games like Bulletstorm. I haven't really spent enough time on either, but I don't plan to, either... redface.gif
