Much like a bag of your favorite salty snack food, there is a fair amount of dead air in Blackwind; but there is just enough to consume to keep you interested if action games are your thing. And much like your junk food, don’t share it with anyone else, or you may walk away feeling kind of cheated. 8 out of 10 Pros - Fluid Combat That Controls Well - Decent Arsenal of Upgrades - A Great Game for Zoning Out and Decompressing Cons - Disappointing Co-Op - Bland Writing/Voice Acting - Some Minor Platforming Issues Blackwind was developed by Drakkar Dev and published by Blowfish Games The game is available for NS, PC, PS4, PS5, X1, and XSX.

Blackwind is a decent hack-and-slash action game with fast agile gameplay and a good mix of puzzles and platform sections. The story and cartoon-stylised cutscenes were enough to keep me invested in wanting to find out what happens next, and the voice acting was great. I often fought against the camera angle, particularly when trying to be precise with platform jumping sections, but the combat and execution takedown animations was great fun.

Heavy mechs smashing up alien threats is always going to be entertaining, but just be wary of expecting too much out of Blackwind other than straightforward action with some slight detours.

Blackwind is an ambitious game that proves it can do it all – just not at once. The combat is satisfying and frequent, but the framerate will buckle when the game is at its most fun (even on a PS4 Pro).

Blackwind is a beat 'em up with fun combat and progression that feels hampered by a mediocre story.
