Black One Blood Brothers

ok, i am 70 years old and have been gaming since TRS80 days (before the first pc). i loved the old squad based games.
i love this game.
it plays exactly like the old games.
yep, the grafics kinda suck, but the gameplay is very good imho
and ultimately, the gameplay is #1 to me

(EDITED AS OF EA "UPDATE 28")
---MY THOUGHTS 👨---
The game feels like an arcade shooter than realism. I recommend you to buy the game because of it's concept, customization and squad system however the game is in early access so don't have high expectations until it is fully released.

---DEVELOPERS 🗿---
🤔 Caution
As far as I know there is only 1 Developer for this game at the moment.
The dev Abandoned an EA Game called "Black Day" but the dev gave free copies of this game to all who bought "Black Day" as an apology. The dev currently seems to listen and respond to the players feedback.

---ROADMAP 👩‍🏫---
👍 Ambitious
The future updates looks promising. However some are unconfirmed. And some may be change, add or remove depending on the dev.

---DEVELOPMENT 🧩---
👍 Normal Speed Updates
The Update frequency is ok (as of now 7/01/2022). With bug fixes and new additions to the game!

---GRAPHICS 🎨---
🤔 Decent
The graphics looks good on max settings. Muddy on lowest settings.

---INTERFACE 📋---
🤔 Decent
It's okay, not that good but not that bad. The inventory interface, gameplay interface, battleplan interface and main menu interface might need some redesigning for improvement.

---GAMEPLAY 🎮---
🤔 Between Bad and Ok
Gameplay needs more in-depth and refinements to work on. Combat seems like an arcade than realism. Hitbox registration still needs some improvements. Revive system is fun but needs more work on that probably some animations works (Both Left Side & Right Side). AI Is atrocious. Overlay Effects are lame. Third Person Perspective seems stiff. Animations are bad, Ragdoll physics are poor. Overall, needs more work and improvements onto the gameplay.

---CUSTOMIZATION 💅---
🏅 Good
The amount to customize your character(s) is insane. You can customize the gun's equipment and their camouflage, outfits and their camouflage, facial features and many more. But there are still some missing outfits, cosmetics and camouflage specially for females.

--LORE 💾---
🤔 Background Lore
You decide what enemy you'll face. What map you'll want to play. How the Weather is doing. Which squad members you'll put in to the Area of Operation. If you're into RP, then you'll appreciate the sandbox.
Though i saw some post of this game having it's own story campaign.

---AUDIO 🎧---
👎 Bad
Voices are okay. Player's Voices are just US (No Europe or Asian Variants). Guns sounds feels recycled and still bad. Footsteps sounds poor. Overall, the sound needs redesigning.

---AUDIENCE'S AGE ⚠---
👍 Teenagers
🔞 Adults
The gore of this game isn't that way too disturbing. It's simply textured blood all over the clothes and small to medium sized pool of blood within where the character's first place been killed (Dead Bodies Can Move).

---AUDIENCE'S TYPE 🏷---
🌟 Average Gamers
🎖 Tactical Gamers
Players who played *rma 3, *eady or *ot, *allout 4, *quad might wanna check out this game.

---PC COMPATIBILITY 💻---
🌟 Trending APU
Playing this on a 2nd Gen Desktop Ryzen 5 APU Only.

---DIFFICULTY 🏀---
👊 Confusing
The keybinding is hard to get unlike &rma 3 or *quad
Gameplay Wise. Pretty much depends on the difficulty you set in on.

---GAME TIME 📫---
👎 Short
The mission is way too simple and short. Needs more Fleshed-Out Objectives. Dynamic Enemy Patrol System. Enemy Reinforcement System. Ambient Objectives and Enemy Support System to stretch the mission a bit longer and alive.

---BUGS ☣---
👎 Too Buggy
Since its an early access game. By standard, the game is already buggy. Make sure you report it so the dev can actually fix the bug.

---PLAYERBASE 🌐---
👎 Tiny
The game just started out. So it has tiny playerbase. I didn't see this game in any websites or content creators that talk about game, i just saw this in the "Special" store page. So i have the impression that the devs doesn't advertise the game nor have content creators promote this game.

---CONS 🛑---
❌ Modding is Limited
❌ No Coop/PVP Multiplayer Yet!
❌ No Steam Cloud Save System Yet!
❌ AI are so Dumb!

Black One Blood Brothers has an interesting base with its sandbox allowing you to play pseudo randomly generated missions with a variety of maps modes and modifiers, however in its current state the movement and shooting are far too half baked and the AI leaves much to be desired this combined with a general lack of polish makes it impossible to recommend this game in its current state.
