Flint: Treasure of Oblivion First-Look Preview: Bringing the Pirate Life to a Tactical RPG
04.04.2024 - 16:07 / ign.com
Even with Sea of Thieves and Skull and Bones out there, the pirate setting for video games still feels woefully underutilized. But now, another game aims to blend the big stakes and dangers on the high-seas conceit with a narrative-driven tactical RPG framework. The upcoming Flint: Treasure of Oblivion looks to bring that pirate fantasy to life in an interesting new way by leaning into the mystique and intrigue of living life on the high seas.
In this first look at the upcoming CRPG, I got to see Flint's approach to a swashbuckling tactical RPG in action. It's all about building up a trustworthy crew and exploring the port towns and dangerous waters during the rebellious golden age of pirates.
As the debut game from developer Savage Level, Flint: Treasure of Oblivion is inspired by Robert Louis Stevenson's classic adventure novel Treasure Island, a story focusing on pirates in search of a lost treasure trove left behind by the infamous Captain Flint. In this tactical RPG, we follow the exploits of Captain Flint, his shipmate Billy Bones, and a larger crew of pirates as they search for glory and tons of loot during a booming and dangerous period of piracy.
Along with the many tavern and back alley brawls the crew will get into, Captain Flint will also run into a swath of co nflicts with rival pirates in temples and on the open waters, all leading up to the discovery of a mysterious treasure cache that sets the stage for the original novel.
According to the developers in our preview, Flint leans heavily into the life of being a pirate and managing a crew, with some elements of dark fantasy seeping in as the adventure progresses. Speaking with production director Saïda Mirzoeva, she stated that the story aims to be historically accurate to the era and the original novel while leaning into the freeform experience of a tactical RPG.
Flint follows that tried and true CRPG formula, with you exploring the world from an isometric view to engage in combat and social interactions with various characters throughout the game. Focusing more on a stylized, "double-AA" adventure instead of the sprawling scope of games like Baldur's Gate 3 or Warhammer 40K Rogue Trader, the pirate CRPG features a mix of scripted story encounters with choice-driven moments, all presented in a comic book-style adventure as Flint's ragtag crew of pirates grows their influence.
As you explore more of Flint's world, you'll expand your crew of pirates, all carrying unique skills and archetypes to experiment with. Your crew choices will be tested in battle, which plays out in turn-based combat, with you commanding the crew's movement and actions on a hex-tile battlefield.

Bring home a life-size Slowpoke for just $450
The latest addition to the Pokémon Center’s lineup of plush pocket monsters is unreasonably large and expensive. This massive Slowpoke weighs in at a little over 17 pounds, is 26-inches tall and 59-inches long, which is pretty close to the real deal. This Pokémon Center-exclusive doesn’t ship until November, but if you’ve got the room to accommodate this life-size plush, you can currently pre-order one for $450.

The Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road beta brings the football RPG into a confusing new era
If you asked me what my favourite football née soccer game is, it wouldn’t be anything as prosaic as FIFA, Pro Evo or Football Manager. It wouldn’t even be Sega Soccer Slam – though that’s a close second. It would be Inazuma Eleven. The fact that it is as much a Pokémon-esque RPG where you’re collecting football players as it is an actual game of football only makes it better. As does the fact that it, and its mainline sequels, were all played with the Nintendo DS’ stylus. If I’m being honest, the fact that it’s only vaguely a football game at all is probably what makes it my favourite football game.
