I Didn't Know I Needed a Sky Pirate Action RPG Til Now - Black Skylands 

gold coins are for a type of merchant you unlock... a bit further in. for those wondering. Also, interesting that they decided to change the upgrades the way they did... they apparently really changed it since I last played.

The birds and creatures flying past would drive me nuts, because I'd think an enemy was coming at me.

Maybe i'm wrong but this game is underrated af

I've never been quite sure if I like Black Flag, or if I just really love sea shanties

Ronnie here. I can confirm Falcon Bandit's hat is the only reason we leave him at the hideout.

The 1.0 release has been astounding. I cannot express how much better of a game this is now. I am glad that a lot of people are getting this as a first impression. The previous story was B Movie tier. The progression was full of time gates. The ships were not fun to customize or fight with, and the skies were largely empty of ships to fight. I am not exaggerating when I say literally everything, from loot drops to progression to narrative to design, it's all objectively better than it was before. Please try it out. It's was a rough and unique indie gem that has since been polished and cut to a beautiful shine. I guarantee that most everyone who disliked it before is going to like it much better now.

Damn. This looks fun! I am going to pick this up. Not really my thing but it seems casual enough with upgrades that i want to see how far i could get.

Love the look. I don't think I've personally seen another game that's 2D top down, but with parallax to really give the illusion of 3D.

"Blue Steel" gives me flashbacks to Zoolander.

I would love a game like this in the Skies of Arcadia world, but this is probably about as close as we'll ever get.

Good pick splatt. Yet another one that would have gone past me without you. Thank you!

Picked this up in early access when you covered it loong ago. No regrets, super fun game! Glad you showed it some love for the release

Love the game! Bought it based on one of your previous videos about it, it was loads of fun even before hitting v1.0. Great time to dive back in 🙂

These highlight intro gameplay scenes iare much better while Splatt introduces the game than staring at the main menu.

As a person who has been playing the heck out of this for the last week leading up to release, this version of the game is SIGNIFICANTLY different from the pre 1.0.0 build that was just released! I'm excited to experience the changes!

I bought Early Access for this game a long time ago when You made a gameplay video. I did not know it came out in 1.0. Thanks Splat. Nice to have You around ^_^

I bought this forever ago and have been waiting for 1.0, thanks Splatty!

Finally people found out about this game , I am still playing it and it's very good And the story is very good

Ooo, I saw this yesterday on my fy list. I'm really glad you're covering it nice one.

what's up guys n gals welcome to the nerd castle

When the screens (or songs or whatever) exist within the world of the fiction, the word you're looking for is diegetic.

It looks like there are subtle visual updates with what you upgrade, when i compare what your ship looked like at the beginning of the video and what it looked like after you upgraded the hull and the hold

F for Walter.

Thank you for adding game name in the title! Much appreciated!

Black Flag is my favorite too of the Assassin's Creed games. So fun and relaxing sailing around.

I’ve owned this game forever but just started playing it yesterday. It’s awesome

I think this was one of the first games I saw from you, and could not remember the name exactly. Thank you for the reminder =)

This just popped up on RU-vid ads! Looks like a ton of fun

That giant sky whale deep down at the end looked pretty amazing

Thank you for sharing this. I love discovering games I want to play on your channel! Just bought it! Thanks for showing me the game.

You had me at “Black Flag”

Remember when Ubisoft said, "this will be the last Assassin's Creed." a few assassin creeds ago?

I miss the days when he used to talk the intro on the menu screen and used to tell us what this game is about

Really puts me in mind of the first SPaZ, which is good.

Bought this game because of you. Thanks again Splat!

S.P.A.Z vibes for sure. That boarding mechanic grabbed me instantly.

I bought it after i watched you, such a neat game. Excited to dive into it again.

I forgot about this game, like you said. Thanks, installed while watching.

Nice to see you videos again! Thank you!

Had a public holiday the day it came out in 1.0, so decided it was fate to play it. Best decision I made all week. My only criticism is that the mod/amulet box opening mechanic gets a bit old after your first 50 boxes

always wanted my own airship. LOVE THIS

Finally a game I can get on the switch. Shop battling is a bit odd but once I get a handle on that I'm sure it'll be good.

cool cool cool. played the demo and liked it. glad that its finally out. imma get it.

Originally they were going for a different story and vibe altogether. I dont know why they changed it but it was so much better and more serious before. The new story just made the game seem kinda silly and too cartoony. They also removed lots from the upgrade systems which I wasnt really a fan of either. Not a bad game at all and its still enjoyable but it was kind of a bummer seeing the changes.

Wow this looks amazing! Definitely getting it :D

I remember the let's-player days, you played Kingdom Hearts 2 and that other game with masks and music- and sounds-themed gameplay. Venezian heavy vibe game and from that time I started watching your vids.

I wasn't interested in this game the past 2-3 times you covered it. BUT this looks good now and I definitely wanna play it!

Holy cannoli this game looks GORGEOUS

I bought this game after your last review of it a few years ago, looks like it's time to revisit it.

I actually couldn’t imagine playing video games for a living.. because I love it so much, and like you said, you get burnt out on things like “reading dialogue”.. sometimes I get jealous you guys play games and get paid, but at other times I’m thankful that gaming will Always be a relaxing hobby and favourite pastime for me, and never a job..

This is a great game. Had loads of fun playing with it before it was out. Left it, came back and it's got those nice differences that really streamline the game. The red and blue chips replacing "oil capsules" as currency can be used for upgrades to ship and personal weapons are great. One thing is, you can't see what your ship will look like with different hulls. Once you upgrade, thats the look you have until you upgrade again. small thing, but I did like seeing how the ship changed in appearance with different components.

Game seems cool! ...one think that always bothers me about the design of steampunk gas filled aircrafts is how impractical they would realistically be in a combat oriented role.

What's below..? Well in Sluggy Freelancer's epic "Ocean's Unmoving" saga its an ocean frozen in time. If you touch it you lose all your time and get frozen in time hence why everyone lives on the floating islands / ships. But what awaits the people trapped who awaken at the end of time itself?

This game was fun in E.A. Looking forward to reinstalling this when I get home.

Your vids rarely fail to make me smile

that last boss fight looked cool.

I spend a lot of time playing Early access and I was heaving fun

Steampunk with tyranids. Yet again sold to me by splat :D some devs should build you a statue ;)

the ..."cabeza accesory..." got me good, or shall I say "got me bueno"

Oh hell yeah, I've been waiting for full release to get in to this fully, just gunna have to wait until after I'm done with BG3 tho lol

I’ve been looking forward to this coming out

And it has controller support! Thnx Cat, for making me spend another 18 euros ;)

Thanks for showcasing! ^^

I remember this one.. I hope its fantastic for you lads. I was active and waiting when splatty first introduced the game years ago.. unfortunately I lived through the moment when devs decided to jump on the woke/feminist bandwagon. They had assets for Walter but instead of bringing male-female selection to create wider audience (like many supporters suggested) they basically just slapped Eva as protagonist and thats that. At that point my back just broke.. im so done with entertainment pushed feminist stuff (Rings of power, Witcher, Batwoman, She hulk.. etc.) that I wont risk my meager pennies on uncertain titles.

So cool. Looking forward to the stream!

I love this game, played it back in early access and am playing again now that it’s fully out👍

I see the word sky pirates I like

i want a Kharadron Overlord skyship game so badly...

Cheers for the update, this is a definite buy for me!

this game looks great. the controls look very tight, reminiscent of old GTA or Take No Prisoners

This game was so fun

The game looks great and i'm definitely gonna pick it up but why do you feel like you can talk about the narrative when earlier on in the video you were also talking about how you skip most of the dialogue?

Anytime i see a game that you fly your own ship of any kind my first question is how big and bad ass can i make that. Am i forever stuck with little boats or can i use a massive dreadnaught.

Black Skylands is one of those games that I bought based on the Prologue demo, then they "released" into EA/beta and I don't play it because I liked the prologue better.

the layout reminds me of sunless skies

Bought it on PS5 so must be all over. Looks excellent but I need to finish Everspace 2 first.

0:55 "I dunno what kinda punk this is" Well, Splat, I'd say it fits within Sailpunk most, though with elements of steampunk.

reminds me of old Gamemaker-community games like MageCraft and RagingSkies

Huh. I guess i thought it wasnt out yet. I purchased it after one of your 1st videos on it. Played it, amd got as far as E.A. would let me. Why didnt a steam notice happen when they went 1.0? Least for me it didnt. Oh well, soon as i finish BG3, its Blackskylands time. Really fun game!

Looks like a great game for smartphonw

Some game puzzles are on another level. eg Tom has 3 eggs. Mary has 5. What's Tom's mother's maiden name...?

achievements take some days to sync when a game just releases , at least in my experience lots of them stuck on 0.1% or something like that but that's not possible tomost of them , give it time

I vote that we call it Skypunk.🤣

I like the version before 1.0 more.

Played this about a year ago and thought it had stardew valley level potential - glad it’s getting attention!!

Blood splatters hovering mid air annoyed me more than they should. I followed it for a while but something in this one pushes me away, can't quite put a finger on it.

Thanks for the video.

Playing this game with the SuperHot (Hyperhot Mix) Theme is absolutely bonkers. This is a great Doom-bso-while-you-play-it game

I first learned about Black Skylands from your previous video, played it in early access and it was quite good, but they removed so many nice things in the release and made the story mostly worse. It's a shame devs did that for an otherwise very good game.

Damn this game looks like a blast to play!

This looks amazing 😍

It seems virtually certain that your tablet is a skypad; given the context.

Edge Chronicles feel

The .1% has been a bug on steam lately for achievements.

I bought it during the Steam Summer Sale and I waited until 1.0 release to play it and I didn't like it. Well at least I didn't pay too much for it. I didn't like the writing, I didn't like the way the ships handled, I didn't like the combat all that much. It's not the worst, I had hoped it would be good, but it just.. wasn't my cup of tea.

Project Nomads vibes

is there more ships you can buy ? or its just the starting one?

damn, wish this had coop

I hope this game has an expansion soon giving more backstory about the epic adventures of sky pirates Ronnie and Donnie.
