Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn
Release Date: July 18, 2024
The beauty of the Soulsike genre is that there are so many variations on the FromSoftware formula. With Flintlock, developer A44 is focusing on high mobility, with combat that offers guns, swords, and magic to wield. Verticality is also a unique twist, with special abilities letting you move above enemies to unleash powerful attacks. A44 previously developed Ashen, another great twist on the Soulsike genre, so I’m excited to see how they evolve that with Flintlock. So far, the demo delivers an impressive combat system, even if it still has some kinks to work out.
