Flint: Treasure Of Oblivion is a tactical-RPG set in the golden age of piracy that combines a rich story with deep, accessible gameplay.

Prepare to embark alongside Captain Flint, his second-in-command Billy Bones and his crew of old salts in search of a legendary treasure promising freedom and fortune. With its original narrative using traditional comic strips as a narrative medium, Flint: Treasure Of Oblivion invites players to immerse themselves in a historically accurate pirate adventure spiced up with fantasy.

Flint: Treasure Of Oblivion delivers adventure, but also strategic depth thanks to its turn-based combat mechanics, refreshing the genre's foundations by drawing on mechanics from role-playing and board games, notably through dice rolls. When players build their crew, each member brings unique skills to use, allowing them to adapt their strategy to their style of gameplay. During the tactical phases, players can use skill and attribute cards to improve their crew members and gain an advantage over their opponents.

Hoist the mainsail and set off to discover the secrets buried in the distant lands of Flint: Treasure Of Oblivion.

Microids and Savage Level unveiled a new sneak peek at Flint: Treasure of Oblivion, showing off over 4 minutes of commented gameplay, giving players a detailed look at the game’s mechanics, pirate-themed world, and role-playing depth.

In Flint: Treasure of Oblivion, players will explore immersive environments by interacting with local inhabitants to progress through the story and unlock additional quests. Throughout the exploration, players will have to collect cards with items linked to the story as well as Tactics. These cards allow Flint and his crew to level up, gain new weapons, and improve their dice rolls and attributes like defence, dexterity and health. Through this gameplay system, players will be able to use accessories, skills and attributes in combat phases.

Before setting out on adventures, players will need to assemble a diverse team by choosing from the pirates they have recruited in the various classes each with their own specific skills set including Surgeon, Freebooter or Helmsman. Different sailors can complement each other and combos can be performed by pairing two members of the same class, creating situations that can change the course of a fight.

Battles in Flint: Treasure of Oblivion emphasizes strategy. Players can take advantage of the environment by using verticality to fall on an opponent from a high point, or push a barrel to topple an enemy and take the advantage.

The game incorporates a strong tabletop role-playing dimension, with success in combat based in part on the results of dice rolls. These can be mitigated by the skills of team members and strategies adopted in combat, enhancing players' chances of success. This luck factor also applies to exploration phases, such as opening chests or certain narrative sequences

Key Features:

  • TURN-BASED TACTICAL COMBAT: A good preparation is key! Choose your crew members with unique abilities, obtain new skills, improve your dices. During the tactical phases, use cards to trigger skills and attributes and influence the fight with dice throws.
  • COMIC-BOOK NARRATIVE: Enjoy a narrative which, beyond the usual codes of comics (onomatopoeia, speech bubbles), offers players original and dynamic comic strips.
  • EXPLORATION: Discover a magnificent world, from the French city of Saint-Malo to the exotic landscapes of central America. Visit diverse environments (cities, camps, jungle, caves...) powered by Unreal Engine 5
  • HISTORICALLY-INSPIRED PIRACY WORLD: The game faithfully recreates a world of piracy, incorporating historical elements (language, costumes, weapons) making the experience even more immersive
