At first glance, you might think BlackShot: Revolution is a mobile game just based on the art style alone. You'd be wrong, of course. BlackShot actually first came out in 2008, released by Vertigo Games. It's now being re-released as BlackShot: Revolution. It's a free to play (F2P) competitive first person shooter, which has supposedly been reworked, rebalanced, and remastered with (and I quote, directly from the press release):
"newly game currencies, impressive combat modes, cut-above graphics, added maps and customization."
A F2P game being re-released with new game currencies? Yeah, that raises all the red flags and rings all the alarms. But they do claim to have no paywalls. They explicitly say no more pay to win, just play to win. So everthing's probably just going to be cosmetic.
Here's what they say you should expect with BlackShot: Revolution.
• No more pay to win, just PLAY WIN! Experience a combat gameplay where only your skill matters
• Mercenary Warfare redefined
• Newly In-game currencies, BP and BC items will be converted to Gold and Gems
• Fully autonomous Spectrum Training, added leveling system and level up rewards makes it easier to tell where you stand and compare other mercs
• Be a part of the Hall of Fame! Your Weapon Masteries will be recorded and logged in the latest Hall of Fame feature!
From the footage I've seen, it's a reskinned Counter-Strike. Everything from the sound effects to the voice lines to the gameplay to the animations. It's Counter-Strike with an anime skin on top of it.
Aording to Steam, it'll be available in August 2018.
