Blackshot Review

Blackshot is a First-Person Shooter published by TwoWar, atleast in europe. From what I've heard pretty big in Asia.

Blackshot is your standard free FPS, not to say thats a bad thing if something works don't change it. You've got the normal game modes.

Capture the Flag
Search and Destroy
Team Deathmatch

And it has two modes that I've not yet tried out yet.

Infinit SD (I believe it's Search and Destroy but with respawns)
And some Co-op mode where you defend a house against A.I enemys.

Then how is the graphics?


In my opinion they look fine to be a free shooter. It does look a little bit dated but it isn't horrible by any means. The characters look a little weird with some animations but it's not a big deal when your shooting people in the face. Sound is fine. I really like that the announser shouts something with almost every kill you get. It might get boring after a while but it hasn't bored me yet.

Gameplay?


I can't say great but still good. The hitbox seems to be a little off in this game. In this game meaning that the character model is bigger than the model that registers the hits. It's not that much of an issue but it is frustrating sometimes if you like to use the sniper.
Because the game uses P2P (Player to Player) connection the game can be a bit laggy with a bad host. But once you find a good host the game gets almost lag free which is nice. I really like the game modes in this game they have done it quite well. Even Search and Destroy is fun in this game which I mostly don't like in any game except Counter-Strike but with Blackshot they have done something right. Might be the maps, cause they have copied atleast one map from Counter-Strike but the other maps I've played that isn't copied is good too.

So what did I think of the game?


I really think that this is a fun game. Might not be perfect but fun as it is.

I give it:
8/10


A quick look at the game:
