Yahtzee reviews Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn, discussing its open-world design, combat mechanics, character chemistry, and overall ambition.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    The game is set in an alternative world where Napoleonic-era fashion and technology clash with a horde of undead from Hell.
  2. 2
    Players control a soldier who teams up with a supernatural being to fight other supernatural beings.
  3. 3
    The protagonist's dynamic with their supernatural companion is compared to that of Forspoken, but with less engaging dialogue and character development.
  4. 4
    Boss fights often reveal secrets about the protagonist's companion, leading to token anger and quick forgiveness, with the overall character arc conclusion being unclear due to game crashes.
  5. 5
    The world design is described as vaguely open-world, with linear environments that allow for side-quests, but the game's open-world nature is questioned due to design choices like locked doors that only open after backtracking.
  6. 6
    Combat features melee attacks and flintlock guns, with guns used for interrupts and melee weapons for parrying. However, the parry mechanic is inconsistent, and the combat lacks difficulty despite the effectiveness of gun interrupts.
  7. 7
    The magic system involves instructing a fox companion to build up a special attack bar, and a side-minigame involves collecting Pogs.
  8. 8
    The game is criticized for feeling shortened and cut down due to looming deadlines, with only four unique boss fights, one of which is awkwardly placed.
Tips
  • The gunshot is a reliable interrupt to most enemy attacks, making combat easier.
  • Players can go back to previously completed areas, though this may not be necessary for progression.
  • Be aware that some plot-important doors may not open until specific conditions are met, often requiring backtracking.
  • The game's combat mechanics, including parrying and the use of the fox companion, may require some adjustment and practice.
