Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn offers some creative twists on the Soulslike genre, but its best features stop short of greatness.
Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn MSRP $50.00 Score Details “Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn doesn't quite do enough to make it stand out in a crowded genre.
Unlike other Soulslike games, Flintlock’s plot is relatively straightforward; hardly anything can be thought of as obtuse. It leans on dark fantasy tropes, where uniformed troops akin to those from the Napoleonic Era duke it out against shambling corpses and corrupted knights. This clash of styles creates an authentic setting, with regions and levels inspired by New Zealand and the Middle East.
There are other abilities to make use of, such as Enki’s curses and priming. Building up an enemy’s gauge via Enki’s attacks stuns them and allows me to deal critical damage. I can also learn various skills and get perks by spending Reputation, including extra armor synergies, a ground pound that causes a shockwave, and even a Bloodborne-esque gun parry.
Likewise, there are rifts that let players glide through the air as Enki to reach new locations. The moments when I floated from one rift to another are some of the best in the game, as they allowed me to see vast expanses and gorgeous locales, even though most actual areas are rather small or linear.
