![]() During the gameplay preview, we saw how her efforts to clear out a group of buildings inhabited by the undead allowed farmers and citizens to repopulate the area, transforming a once dangerous place into a little town. ![]() Nor can also directly affect the world beyond her hub area. And the caravan also is a moving hub that provides a resting point in many cases throughout your journey.” “This space evolves as you progress through the game. “ is a gathering point for characters who join you in the world, and for the player to craft new items or upgrade existing ones,” Asplet said. But part of its evolution is tied to its movement, allowing it to change depending on where it’s set up, not just who calls it home. Like Vagrant’s Rest, it will expand and grow as you meet important characters and help them with their problems. In Flintlock, the hub is made into a part of Nor’s journey as a traveling caravan. By the end of the game, your makeshift camp would become a bustling town. And if you helped them with their problems, they’d contribute back to the community, helping you pave roads, build houses, and set up shops. ![]() In Ashen, as you met new characters, you could invite them to live in your camp. It looks like Nor will have to do quite a bit of exploring before she’s able to reach this location, however.įlintlock’s open-world exploration builds upon my favorite part of Ashen–Vagrant’s Rest, a hub area you’d regularly return to. It speaks to Nor in a language that A44 (with the help of a linguist) made specifically for Flintlock. The one that we saw the most during the gameplay preview is a more civilized area, where Nor finds the city of Sibyl–it’s here, in an ancient archive, where Nor encounters the God of Knowledge. One looks to be mostly desert, while another is cavernous ruins. …Shadow and Bone is probably a good example of the world and setting and tone of Flintlock’s fantasy genre.”įlintlock’s world is divided into three zones that you can explore. I think before this project, I didn’t really know much about it. She’s joined by Enki, a strange creature with his own issues with the gods, who augments Nor’s abilities with magic.Ī44 Games art director Robert Bruce added: “It’s definitely a relatively untapped subgenre of fantasy. You play as Nor Vanek, a member of the coalition army, who has a personal vendetta against the gods. Humanity’s best bet is the coalition army, a group that uses gunpowder to even the fight against the gods’ magic. It’s a narrative theme that made for an interesting soulslike in Ashen, and I hope the same can be said for Flintlock.įlintlock takes place in a fantasy world where mankind is nearly extinct and engaging in a last-ditch effort to defeat the gods, who have gone to war against humanity with an army of the undead. Flintlock’s combat is faster, its character models are more detailed, and its world looks a whole lot bigger, but at its core, the game similarly explores the concept of attaining great power through strong relationships. Though Flintlock isn’t a sequel to Ashen, the upcoming open-world action RPG seems to build upon Ashen’s focus on cooperation and community. ![]() Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn is developer A44 Games’ sophomore effort, following 2018 soulslike Ashen.
