The game is 75 pages long for just over $ 4. It is in black and white color, with pictures that adjust the mood well. The layout (similar to Extinction) is restrained and effective. The book goes straight to the point and we immediately understand where the author came from. To this should be added all the Black Hack settings made by Kobayashi which greatly improved the original (for me), such as tighter features or a more efficient armor and shield management. The game offers everything you need to encourage immersion. Doom Die “very dark” effects, good tone of old careers with a cultural origin, a combination of runic weapons, demons and spirits (we can do Strombringer), as well as creating slightly distorted scientific wonders (for the Hawkmoon gamer) and as PCs progress in experience Libra, Law or Chaos allegiance to the (Eternal Champion). Everything is simple, explained in a few words and elegant.
I still don’t like weapons that do the same damage (1d6 by default) and I find it unfortunate that the THREAT LEVEL only applies when it is weaker than the PC opponent. dark heroes.
In the end, I don’t know if this game is the best version of Black Hack, but my preferred game (in a universe fantasy).
