Flint: Treasure of Oblivion Reviews
Flint: Treasure of Oblivion tells its pirate tale using very cool comic strips and offers eight to ten hours of tactical, turn-based battles fought with sabers, flintlock pistols and a bit of luck with the dice. Lacking tutorials, the absence of difficulty settings and unintuitive game mechanics make this game difficult to approach for inexperienced would-be freebooters.

Flint: Treasure of Oblivion is a mess of many good ideas, not given nearly enough time to breathe. While the visuals are fantastic -- especially the portraits and comic-book-style cutscenes -- they exist to serve a game that feels both narratively and mechanically unfinished. Between unlikeable characters, confusing gameplay that lacks depth, and an overall lack of polish and size, Flint: Treasure of Oblivion fails to make good use of its many innovative ideas, and would've been better served if it had been reigned in.
Flint: Treasure of Oblivion is a fun experience and should be great with a couple of updates and changes; the story is great, the level designs are pretty, and it’s worth giving a shot, if only for the story. Combat is unique but not new in the way it sets Flint: Treasure of Oblivion apart from other games, so it shouldn’t be too hard to master.
TTRPG fans will find themselves right at home with this challenging adventure. A complex gameplay set of rules to strictly follow laid next to an invigorating art style and wild pirate narrative, Flint: The Treasure of Oblivion is not easily accessible. But what it lacks in approachability, it gains in substantial rewards to those who dare embark on the search for this rich bounty.
Flint: Treasure of Oblivion combines strategy role-playing gameplay with pen and paper elements - and it works! However, as a player you have to teach yourself a lot, the fights lack oomph and some aspects of the game are unfortunately not intuitive.
