Aflintlock is a firearm from ye olden days which uses flintstriking ignition to fire. It’s fallen out of fashion lately, mainly because it takes about 400 years to reload. The idea of trying to use one to kill several gods is pretty daunting. But I’d certainly rather take on that challenge than the far more terrifying one of being a Soulslike releasing less than a month after Shadow of the Erdtree. Maybe this game deserves a 90 just for bravery?
You play as Nor, an ax-wielding warrior trapped in a seemingly endless war with the living dead, because someone’s unfortunately left the door to the afterlife open. After one of those classic attempts at fixing everything that actually makes it all much worse, Nor gets a nice big pile of guilt to motivate her through the rest of the adventure. More interestingly, she also meets and teams up with Enki, a ‘tiny fox thing’ that’s also a god.
There’s a welc ome shot of Bloodborne in here too: you have afirearm
