Gods and guns. What more could you want? While the flintlock fantasy subgenre has long since carved out a space in genre fiction thanks to Naomi Novik’s Temeraire and Brian McClellan’s Powder Mage series, it remains shockingly elusive in videogames. GreedFall and Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire certainly come close, but their scales are tipped further towards high fantasy than they are gunpowder and military dress. Thankfully, A44 Games puts both front and center in Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn, an upcoming soulslike with an axe to grind.
