About this game
Fight for your life in Obscurity: Unknown Threat. A sandbox shooter environment where immersive gun play, gore mechanics and player skill dictate the outcome of a battle. Complete single player missions, cooperative scenarios or online battles with full bot support across all modes.
Survive The Obscurity
The Obscurity are relentless, nimble and stealthy with access to various unique technologies to help them get the upper hand against their enemies. They are melee experts with many different stances and abilities, but they can also turn the tide of battle by using their enemies against each other.
Various Single Player, Cooperative and PvP Modes
Many game modes are available to play as well as the ability to run custom sessions. Players are provided with access to asymmetrical and symmetrical PvP game modes, challenging missions and engaging cooperative battles.
Fierce Bot Battles
Bots have been created from the ground up to be highly dynamic and challenging across all game modes. Players are able to have custom battles with a mixture of bots and humans. Bots will also provide fierce opposition throughout single player and cooperative missions or provide backup and assistance when players need it most.
Loadout & Weapon Customisation
Loadout customisation options are available to players, enabling them to make extremely varied builds. Players can also hotswap weapon attachments during battle if required. Be mindful though, because your loadout weight class plays a major role during engagements.
Gore!
A fully featured gore system has been created from the ground up to include support for broken bones, dismemberment, wound deformation, and procedurally generated gibs and limb caps. Major wounds and breaks are survivable, but you may not be very effective with a few limbs missing.
Brutal Melee Combat
Get up close and personal with your foes by bringing some melee weapons to the fight. Blunt, stab, sharp and push melee damage can all be used to bring an end to your enemies if you run out of bullets or feel like getting messy.
Dynamic Time & Weather System
Each map features a dynamic time of day and weather system. Weather includes fog, rain, storms, overcast and more. Battle can take place from dusk through to dawn, just be prepared when night time hits.
Synchronised Ragdoll & Launching System
The game includes synchronised ragdoll positions to enable characters to be launched by explosions, impacts, throws, falls and more. They can then get back up if they haven't been too badly injured and continue battle. Launched characters can even knock other characters over. Bowling anyone?
