Explore medieval times as a rogue warrior in Betrayer, featuring dark forests, castles, and combat with swords, bows, arrows, and maces against fierce creatures.
Betrayer is a first-person shooter game developed by Blackpowder Games and released in 2014. The game is set in the 17th century during Colonial America, featuring a dark and ominous landscape of forests and dilapidated architecture.
In Betrayer, you play the role of a nameless protagonist armed with period weapons such as swords, bows, muskets, and maces. As you explore the mysterious world, you must piece together fragments of stories and solve puzzles while defending yourself from dangerous creatures and spirits haunting the landscape.
A key feature of Betrayer is its black and white visual style with a film grain filter, creating an eerie atmosphere reminiscent of old horror films. Environments range from forests and meadows to abandoned colonial forts and settlements, with an emphasis on exploration and atmosphere over action.
While the core gameplay revolves around ranged and melee combat, Betrayer also incorporates stealth mechanics, requiring you to sneak past enemies or assassinate them from behind at times. There is even a karma system that impacts the story depending on whether you choose violence or mercy against certain enemies.
With its unique visual style, intricate levels, and dark supernatural story set in colonial America, Betrayer aims to create a haunting, exploration-focused horror FPS experience for players seeking something beyond traditional shooters.
