Setting an invasion of the undead, led by a ruthless pantheon, in an American Civil War context could be a good enough reason on its own to give Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn a chance. But if you add to this a gameplay that, although clearly inspired by its more famous counterparts, manages to present a handful of truly interesting ideas, then there are no real reasons not to try A44 Games' production at least once.

Killing Gods in the magical world of Kian sounds appealing on paper, but the needless Soulslike elements and uninspired gameplay drain the life out of an otherwise promising premise.

Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn is a lot of fun if you engage with all of it.  At first, I was flying through the main quest before I slowed down and explored every inch of each map.  Once I made that change I went from enjoying my time to loving it.  It’s not the tightest game out there, but it has a lot of great ideas that come together for a package well worth experience.

Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn is a more "layered" experience with a clear beginning, middle and end, no endgame and very limited grind. And ultimately, for that very reason - despite its missteps - it achieves what it sets out to do.
