Title: Black Day
Developer: Hellios

What type of game is it?

Action

What’s the 30 second elevator pitch?

Stealthily, skillfully make your way through vast, unknown terrain in order to kill your target and complete your objective.

What do we like most about it?

Games that offer a stealthier approach to the standard military ‘infiltration’  are always welcome. Back in the early 00’s the genre was bloated and oversatured, with a military sim that essentially equated to a tactless one-man massacre launching every other week.  Stealth then, and the ability to hide bodies, as well as simply avoid combat is an extremely welcome change to the status quo – and certainly helps it along with the intended realism.

The developer is still heavy in the development process, however a lot of the content currently being introduced geared more to what’s used when it all goes wrong. That said, the game does need a robust backup plan, especially as the dev has frequently mentioned the fact that target locations and mission types will alter over repeat plays.

When’s it due?

Black Day is set to launch into early access in mid 2017 for Windows PC.
