The game will feature two new game modes in addition to the classic story mode: Arcade and Boss Rush. You can also play local co-op with a friend, making the experience even more engaging.

The official Steam release is scheduled for October, with console and mobile versions to follow later.

The Steam page is now live, and you can add the game to your wishlist to stay updated on the latest news and releases.

We invite all enthusiasts to try the beta version of the game by signing up for our mailing list.

Get ready to enter the cockpit, arm your weapons, and prepare for the ultimate galactic showdown!

Delighted to share the news that Black Paradox now has an official wiki page! You can find it here: https://blackparadox.fandom.com/wiki/Black_Paradox_Wiki

The devs at Fantastico are in the process of populating the page, but they would love any budding bounty hunters to get involved as well. If you'd like to help update the wiki, just send a message to the devs via their Discord channel: https://discord.gg/VvpQqD2

In addition to the wiki, there are also a couple other things in the pipeline coming from the devs – a patch and something of a bigger surprise that we think you'll like :)

We'll share more details when we can. Until then, feel free to get involved with the wiki!

As of today, Black Paradox is no longer in Early Access and the full, final version has now launched!

During the 279 days the game has spent in EA, the fantastic team at Fantastico Studio has worked incredibly hard improving and polishing Black Paradox, adding 16 new power-ups, 13 new enemy waves, 11 new music tracks, 6 new power-up combos, two new weapons, and one new boss. On behalf of the Fantastico team, we’d like to thank everyone who has played the game so far.

And we hope you’ll be excited to hear about a couple of new, significant features that have been added to the full version: Chip Storage and Darkness Mode.

Chip Storage: Instead of only being able to carry the chips you have equipped to the Star Phoenix, this new storage option allows you to keep up to nine unused chips as well.



Darkness Mode: Beat the game to unlock this new boss-rush mode. It takes place in the alternate ‘dark’ dimension and you get to play as the ‘dark’ Black Paradox, rather than the ‘light’ version of the hero that features in the main game. You face alternate, more powerful clones of each of the bosses, all of which use a modified and deadlier version of their attacks.

Those aren’t the only additions/changes/tweaks to the game, here’s a full rundown of the updates you’ll find in the full version:

• Level presentation map
  
• Level unique backgrounds
  
• Chip storage system
  
• Chip restock system
  
• Darkness mode (unlocked by clearing the game)
  
• 2 new power-up combos
  
• New enemy drop (in addition to health pick-ups, enemies also now drop a blue tank that charges your ultimate move by 20% when collected)
  
• Visual upgrade on bullets
  
• Visual upgrade on enemies
  
• Full text language support added for Simplified Chinese, French, Spanish, German, Russian, Italian
  
• Bug fixing
  
• Typo fixes
  
• New achievements
  
• Balancing
  
• UI upgrade
  
• Improved performances
  

And here’s a final tally of some of Black Paradox’s key features:

• 20 weapons, 37 powerups, 13 deadly drones, 8 amazing power-up combos, and the ultimate space-bending move: the "Black Paradox"
  
• 62 different enemies, each with its own attack patterns
  
• 14 deadly bosses with unique attacks + 1 secret boss
  

As well as the full version launching on Steam, Black Paradox is also now available on PS4 and is coming out tomorrow, Friday 3 May, on Xbox One and Nintendo Switch. Tell your console-owning buddies or grab the game on Switch and discover the portable pleasures of playing Black Paradox in handheld mode.



Thanks for reading and we hope you have an absolute blast with Black Paradox.
