Game of the WeekBlackout Age
Already tired of the US Elections? Totally understand! Let’s just focus on the important election then: our choice for Game of the Week! This time we’ve got a title that combines many things, and one of them is something we were expecting to see more since Pokémon GO. Yeah, Blackout Age brings gaming to the real world, and that’s why we officially declare it Game of the Week!
Let’s be honest… Maybe these days, a postapo world might not be in everybody’s interest, especially if it’s generated on a real map! Blackout Age is an RPG survival game where you’ll have to take care of a shelter, fight aliens, craft weapons, and complete missions. So, as the studio behind it describes it, “it’s a story-driven role-play adventure in a mixed reality”. The story will be a delight for sci-fi fans: intruders from other planets invade our world. They managed to do so with a very advanced technology called Stream of Worlds, designed for interstellar conquers. As you can see, this is not a basic map-based game that only focuses on getting your attention by relating to the places around you; there’s enough material here for a Nolan movie.
Do you think a map-based game cannot be enjoyed during this covid-19 times? The developers behind Blackout Age already thought about it, so you don’t need to stick to your real location. Feel free to play without geolocation and scavenge Paris, Bejing or São Paulo. The world if yours to explore!
