The game features five chapters that take players from the town of Saint-Malo in France to ancient temples in the jungles of Central America. It features an original narrative inspired by comic books, but also influenced by board games.<\/p>\n<p>Based around a system of cards and dice, <em>Flint<\/em> invites players to explore and collect various item cards, which can be purchased for use in combat. In addition, a system of skills and attributes specific to the character classes (Archetypes) and the ability to perform combos will add variety to the confrontations. The choice of weapons will also be crucial in turn-based battles, which can go as far as pitting teams of up to 15 pirates against one another.<\/p>\n<p>But before you do that, assembling and developing your pirate crew will be a core part of <em>Flint: Treasure of Oblivion<\/em>.

Some characters will automatically join you as you progress through the story, like your first mate Billy Bones. With others, however, you will need to explore the environments or use your powers of persuasion to unlock them.<\/p>\n<p>In total, no fewer than 35 characters are available to be acquired by the sharpest players. Each will have a given role, just as it would have been on an actual eighteenth-century ship: freebooter, helmsman, messman, cook, and so on. \u201cAnd for each archetype, there is a unique linked skill,\u201d adds Johan. \u201cFor example, the surgeon can heal wounded shipmates; as for the lookout, they can spot a coming attack and disrupt it.\u201d This is why it will be important for players to assemble a crew with as wide a range of skills as possible.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Experience and Equipment: Character Development<\/strong><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/12\/Flint_Nov_Xbox-Wire-Article_02-acf78b193c575beaa50a.jpg\" alt=\"Flint: Treasure of Oblivion Screenshot\" class=\"wp-image-206254\" srcset=\"https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/12\/Flint_Nov_Xbox-Wire-Article_02-acf78b193c575beaa50a.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/12\/Flint_Nov_Xbox-Wire-Article_02-acf78b193c575beaa50a-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/12\/Flint_Nov_Xbox-Wire-Article_02-acf78b193c575beaa50a-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/12\/Flint_Nov_Xbox-Wire-Article_02-acf78b193c575beaa50a-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>Once you have assembled a pirate crew, there are different ways to develop it in<em> Flint: Treasure of Oblivion<\/em>. One of them is to share out experience points. A character\u2019s experience can be used to improve their dice rolls, giving them a greater chance of achieving their actions. Experience can also be used to reduce the time it takes for their unique skills to recharge, or to level up their characteristics (health points, damage and agility). \u201cPlayers will need to decide how to spend their experience,\u201d explains Johan. \u201cIt won\u2019t be possible for them to increase everything to the max over the course of one game.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another way to make your crew more powerful is through equipment. There are nearly 50 unique weapons in <em>Flint: Treasure of Oblivion<\/em>, including swords, pistols, clubs and spears. You can also find or buy accessories like bandages, grenades and armor. \u201cEach character has three equipment slots,\u201d \u00a0Johan continues. \u201cSo you could take a pistol, armor and a bandage\u2026 or even three grenades, which is an approach that could work!\u201d Equipment allocation cannot be modified while in combat, so it is a decision that needs to be made in advance.<\/p>\n<p>A final interesting feature of <em>Flint: Treasure of Oblivion<\/em> is that winning experience points and buying accessories is directly dependent on gold found over the course of your adventures. \u201cYou can choose to use your loot to buy accessories for the whole crew, or share the gold out equally among the pirates in the form of experience,\u201d explained Johan. \u201cWe drew inspiration from the life of pirates at the time, where each individual had the same voting power \u2013 from lowly sailors right up to the captain.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Manage Your Pirate Crew as You See Fit!<\/strong><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/12\/Flint_Nov_Xbox-Wire-Article_03-44e6c8c25a58a7af4435.jpg\" alt=\"Flint: Treasure of Oblivion Screenshot\" class=\"wp-image-206252\" srcset=\"https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/12\/Flint_Nov_Xbox-Wire-Article_03-44e6c8c25a58a7af4435.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/12\/Flint_Nov_Xbox-Wire-Article_03-44e6c8c25a58a7af4435-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/12\/Flint_Nov_Xbox-Wire-Article_03-44e6c8c25a58a7af4435-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/12\/Flint_Nov_Xbox-Wire-Article_03-44e6c8c25a58a7af4435-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>As you can see, there is real depth to crew management in <em>Flint: Treasure of Oblivion<\/em>, with recruitment success linked to how well you explore and make decisions, while you will also find multiple possibilities for levelling up your crewmates.<\/p>\n<p>Will you choose to focus on your crew\u2019s skills, or opt for brute force with the most lethal equipment?
