Blacklight Retribution Overview
Blacklight Retribution is an upcoming free-to-play MMOFPS from developer Zombie Studios and publisher Perfect World Entertainment. Currently in beta testing, BR is being made with DirectX 11 and the Unreal 3 engine, setting it up to be a very distinctive free-to-play shooter. BR has already won several awards, including “Best Multiplayer” from Machinima.com, and Most Valuable Game from PC Gamer.
Designed to be a fast-paced action shooter, BR quickly sets up players in a combat role, with their choice of weapon and equipment loadout, and drops them into a wide selection of strategic map locations for battle. Setting itself apart from other shooters, BR makes use of the HRV (Hyper Reality Visor), in game weapon depots, and the mech-like Hardsuit.
FEATURES
- Hyper Reality Visor | The HRV is an excellent bit of tech that allows players to see through walls, locating teammates, opponents, and weapon depots.
- Weapon Depots | Kiosks spread across combat maps where players may purchase ammo, health, upgraded weapons, and deploy the Hardsuit.
- Hardsuit | This ‘walking tank’ is armed with a railgun and a minigun. ‘Nuff said.
