Black Day

[Jarhead0331]

Stumbled upon the early access title in new steam releases. I almost wrote it off due to the uninspired title, but upon closer inspection, it actually looks very good...particularly for a one man indie project. I've heard that the developer was a creator of A+ mods and content for several titles in the ARMA series.

Anyway, I splurged and will report my findings at earliest possible convenience.

Looks good....can't wait to hear some impressions.  Just curious, is it all infantry and lone wolf missions (without squad)?  I am ok with all infantry (actually prefer it), but would be nice to have support elements.

Reminds me of Metal Gear.

The image looks cool enough. If I were more into shooters (translation: I'm too old and my reactions are too slow  :'(), I would probably buy it.

setting the parameters for Funny and easy sounds good to me.

I asked the developer this question and there is no squad presently. He would like to add them eventually, but makes no promises.

Thanks....will keep my eye on this one.  Just hope realistic missions and doesn't turn out to be you against 100 enemies.

It only has mechs if you want them. You can choose to make it as realistic or sci Fi as you want. there are a lot of options to tweak in the sandbox mode.

Well...its a real mixed bag at this point. The terrain and modeling has some real potential to make this a pretty good alternative to Ghost Recon Wildlands, but it has a long long way to go. The UI is very rough and the mechanics are not fully fleshed out. Weapon control and combat feels "off" for several reasons. Enemy AI is fairly close to brain dead on low difficulty levels. I will, of course, increase the challenge and see if this changes gameplay in any way.

I appreciate what the developer is trying to accomplish here. For the average gamer, however, the asking price of $25 is a bridge too far. It is very early on in development, so we'll see how things go over time. If there are frequent updates, I'll be encouraged.

How Sandbox is it compared to ARMA3?
