Our take on Blacksea Odyssey
The defining mechanic is hunting giant space creatures by tearing them apart with a harpoon, while spear and harpoon attacks also break through the surrounding environment.
What is Blacksea Odyssey?
Blacksea Odyssey is a top-down space shooter with RPG and rogue-lite mechanics.
Players hunt enormous creatures using a harpoon and rune-enhanced spears while moving through dangerous interstellar environments. Combat allows enemies to be torn apart piece by piece, and environments can be destroyed with the available weapons. Runs use procedural levels and permadeath, while oversized bosses occupy several screen sizes. A customization system lets players forge millions of runic modifications for the spear and space-board. The game is framed around a tournament in which hunters descend into a dangerous abyss to pursue increasingly formidable creatures, including the legendary Titan of the Stars.
