Sneak Peek: Flint: Treasure of Oblivion reveals new commented gameplay video

Sydney, Australia – October 30, 2024 – Microids and Savage Level are thrilled are excited to unveil a new exclusive sneak peek of the upcoming tactical RPG, Flint: Treasure of Oblivion. The video offers over 4 minutes of commented gameplay, giving players a detailed look at the game’s mechanics, pirate-themed world, and role-playing depth.

In Flint: Treasure of Oblivion, players will explore immersive environments by interacting with local inhabitants to progress through the story and unlock additional quests. Throughout the exploration, players will have to collect cards with items linked to the story as well as Tactics. These cards allow Flint and his crew to level up, gain new weapons, and improve their dice rolls and attributes like defence, dexterity, and health. Through this gameplay system, players will be able to use accessories, skills, and attributes in combat phases.

Before setting out on adventures, players will need to assemble a diverse team by choosing from the pirates they have recruited in the various classes each with their own specific skills set including Surgeon, Freebooter or Helmsman. Different sailors can complement each other, and combos can be performed by pairing two members of the same class, creating situations that can change the course of a fight.

Battles in Flint: Treasure of Oblivion emphasises strategy. Players can take advantage of the environment by using verticality to fall on an opponent from a high point or push a barrel to topple an enemy and take the advantage.

The game incorporates a strong tabletop role-playing dimension, with success in combat based in part on the results of dice rolls. These can be mitigated by the skills of team members and strategies adopted in combat, enhancing players’ chances of success. This luck factor also applies to exploration phases, such as opening chests or certain narrative sequences.

Shop Titans Introduces The Veteran as Newest Premium Worker

Quivers and Dual Wield Weapons Blueprints Added

Attention, Shopkeepers and Soldiers! Roland Knecht (The Veteran) has arrived as the newest Premium Worker in Kabam’s free-to-play Tycoon Simulation/Cozy Crafting RPG game.

A renowned drill instructor hailing from many battlefields and ready to settle in more peaceful pastures, The Veteran brings a wealth of military knowledge, including the ability to craft Dual Wield Weapons and Quivers. In addition, his Premium Worker ability allows players to replace a skill with any skill of your choice. The only restrictions are that it must be a skill that Hero can learn normally, and one that is not already known to the Hero. It can be any skill slot and any skill rarity. All Heroes, new and old, can benefit from this effect once each.

Check Out Shop Titans YouTube Short “Roland Comes to Town” below

Alongside The Veteran’s arrival in game, the new 18.0 content update in Shop Titans brings a whole wave of new features, events, upgrades, and more:

  • New Blueprint Type – Dual Wield
    • This may be Shop Titans most unique item type yet!
    • From a crafting point of view, Dual Wield is its own blueprint line, with its own Ascension Milestones and Advanced Research.
      • For example, the Crystal Destroyers is a Dual Wield blueprint featuring an Axe and a Mace. The result is a single item (Crystal Destroyers) that can be sold and equipped normally, benefitting from Dual Wield crafting upgrades, but not from Axe or Mace ones.
    • From a Heroes point of view, no Hero class can explicitly equip Dual Wield items. So long as they can normally wield one of the weapons part of the Dual Wield, they can wield it!
      • For example, a Cleric could equip the Crystal Destroyers, even if they can’t normally use Axes.
      • For Hero skills, while no skill specifically enhances Dual Wield, other skills such as Mace Master would grant their full bonus to the Crystal Destroyers.
      • Similarly, a Thief (with its innate bonus to Daggers) with the Sword Master skill would receive the benefit of both skills if equipped with a Sword/Dagger Dual Wield item.
      • Do keep in mind however that a single skill (e.g Warlord) will never grant its bonus twice.
  • New Blueprint Type – Quivers
    • Even in a world where ammo is infinite, quivers bring quite the bundle with arrows, bolts and bullets to provide a bonus to your Heroes. These can only be equipped alongside a Gun, Crossbow or Bow.
    • The Quiver bears a special affinity for Bows, which gain a 30% item bonus when equipped alongside a quiver. One cannot name a more iconic duo, after all!
    • Rest assured however that Guns, Crossbows and Bows can still function without the help of a quiver if one prefers.
  • Guild Finder Overhaul
    • The Guild Finder algorithm has been overhauled to more accurately find guilds suitable for the user.
    • Improvements for the Member Finder are also currently being worked on, which should help guilds find members from non-active guilds.
  • Additional Updates and Promotions
  • New balance changes such as Druidic Grimoire Ascension upgrades.
  • The Guild’s Choice option has been restored to the guild settings.
  • The Scholar now shows up at level 15.
  • 3 guild upgrades have been added to increase the amount of bounties available at once.
  • Special rule explanations have been added within the blueprint details of relevant items.
  • Various balance changes for Druidic Grimoire Ascension upgrades and select bounties.
  • Promo Code Web Redemption via the official Shop Titans website.
  • Various bug fixes, and more!

As a reminder, Shop Titans also has various Halloween themed content and events taking place, including the Halloween Collection (ending November 1) and Zombie Shoppers (on October 31). To get the best bargains on the newest Premium Worker, gems and more, visit the Shop Titans store at https://playshoptitans.com/store

Celebrating its 5th Anniversary this year, Shop Titans (rated T for Teen by the ESRB) is a free-to-play Tycoon Simulation, Light Adventure RPG game on mobile and PC platforms. Set in a fantasy world filled with hilarious character-driven banter between their Champions and city Workers, players can become a fantasy shop tycoon by crafting epic weapons, managing a store to success, and building a team of adventurers to quest for loot. Find out why players are raving about the game and giving it 5 stars! Shop Titans is available now to download free on the App Store, Google Play, Steam, Microsoft Store, and Epic Games Store.

Players are invited to visit Shop Titans today to enjoy these latest content updates and The Veteran as the newest Premium Worker. For further information, please visit Shop Titans’ official website, Facebook, X, Instagram, and YouTube.
