Critic Reviews
BLACKTAIL GBAtemp review
There is almost everything to love in Blacktail with a unique premise and beautiful world. Despite some flaws in performance and gameplay, I would very much recommend giving this game a try even for those that are just slightly interested.
85%Blacktail Review – Intriguing Slavic Witchcraft
Blacktail offers so much with a strong tone throughout. While some areas could have had more polish, what we get is still fantastic.
87%‘Blacktail’ Creates Mixed Feelings (XSX)
Players familiar with fast-paced combat and dark depictions of fairy tales will find that Blacktail has a lot to offer. Unfortunately, however, Blacktail often trips over its own feet by trying too hard to create a large variety of gameplay mechanics and easily losing track of the goals of its narrative.
