Blackskylands is a rather nice game, with a few elements of little interest.

The game is played with a Hotline Miami-style top-down view, and there are two types of gameplay, on a ship and on foot. The combat phases are fairly repetitive after a while, whether on foot or in the ship, you shoot at anything that moves and that's that. There are also a few puzzles to unlock gems for upgrades. The most difficult part of the game, however, is navigating the islands to find your way around, as the game can be a little confusing. You also have to farm resources to upgrade your weapons and ship, but nothing too complicated or in-depth, which is a bit of a shame.

From a visual point of view, the game lacks direction and isn't exactly beautiful, sometimes lacking in legibility.

In addition to these aesthetic shortcomings, the story isn't necessarily incredible and lacks originality.

Overall the game is average plus, it's worth doing if you like this kind of game but it's not very original or very interesting.
