Black Powder – An upcoming wild west first-person shooter

Black Powder is an upcoming skill based, multiplayer FPS set in the American Wild West and it is coming to quench the thirst of keyboard cowboys.

Oh, you know, we all have that thing for Red Dead Redemption inside of us. PC gamers always wanted to feel the satisfaction Red Dead Redemption has ensured for console gamers. Now, this may be our chance.

Black Powder will give us a chance to fight in wild west with the iconic guns of the time, of course loaded with black powder. Every gun in this game is using its own bullets. The data for mass, speed and penetration values comes from the real life.

This is not the only thing which feels and looks real. Black Powder is developed with Unreal Engine 4 which means the game looks more realistic than real life. Here, take a look, the details are splendid.

Here are the key features of Black Powder:

• No HUD: Atmospheric gaming experience due to no HUD elements on your screen. Count how many bullets you’ve loaded, check your pocket watch for the remaining time.
• Full Body Awareness: Immersion due seeing your full body from the first-person perspective.
• Bullet Physics: Every gun in Black Powder is shooting its own bullet – fed with real life data for mass, speed and penetration values. Depending on surface density, angle and thickness projectiles can penetrate objects… or ricochets are going to kill your teammates…
• Body Hit Reactions: Characters will react to bullet hits depending on caliber, bullet speed and hit location!
• Fire Propagation: Burn down buildings to get tactical advantage over your enemy or to light up the environment.
• Interactivity: Pick up environmental items such as chairs or bottles and use them as weapons.
• Authentic Gun Handling: The Old West is known for its rich amount of guns and their different handling.
• Positional 3D VoiP: Communicate with your team and enemies.
• Versatile Gameplay: Black Powder features a one life, objective based game mode in a row of scenarios including shootouts, robberies and rescue missions.
• Mod Support: Powered by Unreal Engine 4 we’re able to provide advanced access to modding tools that will allow you to create levels, weapons, gamemodes or anything else you can think of!
• Stunning Levels: Black Powder offers levels that vary a lot in gameplay due to size, daytime, season and weather.
• No restrictions: Enter all buildings, every room. Super detailed interiors will help you to dive into the game.

Black Powder is aiming to hit Steam Early-Access in Q2 2018. If you want to help developers and make the dream come true, you can support Black Powder on Kickstarter by visiting here.
