High-stakes war combat dont always have the best visibility.
WithBlindfire, developer Double Eleven is doubling down on the concept of fighting through darkness.
Few games manage to stand out in the FPS genre.
Heres everything we know aboutBlindfireso far.
What is Blindfire?
Blindfireis an upcomingFPS gamethat intends to craft its own unique path in the gaming world.
Itll do so by having gamers compete in pitch-dark combat arenas.
Therell be no time to second guess yourself, either.
The Early Access version came out on October 14, 2024, and has since garnered quite positive reviews.
Among the feedback received is that the game is a lot of fun and puts forward a unique concept.
Having a steady player base is crucial, asBlindfireproposes to be a multiplayer game.
Itll allow up to eight players per gaming session.
Without a strong player base, though, the success of the game could suffer.
Story
Blindfiredoesnt have a profound story, really.
All it has is a straightforward base about fighting in pitch-dark arenas.
The game doesnt offer any logical reason for why youre fighting.
However, it does pose intrigue over the idea of fighting with very minimal visibility.
Fortunately, you will have extra help, thanks to your trusty hi-tech gadgets.
These include a scanner that uses the Echo mechanic to help you find your way around the arenas.
Itll ease locating opponents and evading the traps ahead.
Gameplay
Blindfireis, first and foremost, a first-person shooter game.
With up to eight players per team, fights will grow pretty intense.
But theyll also spice up the fun of locating your opponents in a dark arena.
Bodycount Mode
This mode is all about scoring the most points.
Its structured in rounds, where your goal is to fire quickly and efficiently.
The last player left standing wins the game.
If you lose, though, you have the chance to redeem yourself.
you might use night vision cameras to set up traps for the remaining players.
But you might also take advantage of the spare time and take in the sights of the arena.
Night vision goggles will reveal exciting street art as well as your opponents slick outfits.
Of course, the major selling point for this game is having to fight in darkness.
When your cover is blown, though, the tension sparks as shots fly in a flurry of gunfire.
