it's been three years since Battlestar Galactica
Deadlock first burst onto our computer and
console screens in 2017 and since then things have got better
and better and better hello i'm ricardo and welcome back to
battlestar galactica deadlock here we are at the end of season 2 with
slytherin and black lab games announcing that the accumulation of three years of
hard work in battlestar galactica deadlock will be
coming to an end with the introduction of battlestar
galactica deadlock dlc entitled armistice now this is a sad day
indeed to be honest i was kind of hoping that even though
battlestar galactica deadlock is set during
the first cylon war the forming of colonial fleet
the getting together of the twelve colonies
the construction of the massive jupiter battle stars
which every colony was promised but that it would take it a little bit
further into the stabilization and the peace period
i've had it confirmed though through a press release that
this will be the final dlc for battlestar galactica deadlock but
what a dlc it is going to be i tell you what it's got
an eight-story campaign that nicely brings the whole battlestar galactica
deadlock first cylon war story arc to a conclusion
and we all know from the television program by ron moore
that it then goes into a 30-year armistice
right a 30-year peace period where the cylons are not seen
till that one fateful day they come back and then destroy the twelve colonies
giving spawn to the exodus from capricorn the twelve colonies
led by the battlestar galactica deadlock which we see in
the miniseries there are also included nine new resource missions that you can
use not only to drop down the cylon threat but also gain
more materials to build more ships also there's gonna be a new ship pack as
well the modern ships pack that is going to have the pegasus the or
i should say the mercury class battle star right but we all know that pegasus
and also the valkyrie class uh that was a dammers command before the battlestar
galactica that's going to be in there as well also
some more cylon ships you're going to have cylon raiders we're
also going to have from the colonial side we're going to have the mark 7
viper this could be a couple of battle stars
we've got i've already mentioned but also
base stars on the cylon side as well these are only going to be playable
in the multiplayer and skirmish side but not in the campaign
but don't worry but black lab and slytherin games have got a long history
throughout all of the downloads and dlc content that they've provided
even if you don't buy any downloadable content the game has
evolved over the three years the dlcs have come thick and fast but
the original battlestar galactica deadlock in 2017 followed
by battlestar galactica deadlock broken alliance and then into sin and
sacrifice and then into resurrection and then you know we
had anabasis and then we had ghostly defensive all
these dlc giving additional enhanced storyline and i for one did not think
for one minute that we were gonna get this level of dlc
from from a game that was honed in strategy
and also science fiction it just goes to show how black lab games and slytherin
have come together to give the fans something that they really really really
want each one of these dlc's has been a
company with a raft of in-game enhancements
that have been road mapped out over the past three years
there's been exceptional value for many from slytherin and black lab games
in the first season we saw game modes and audio improvements
new music radio chatter introduced give you that sense of
feeling that all your squadrons were talking together you had persistent
damage carryover new resource missions the
veterancy system you know more different strategic
advisor screens a music player where you could change the music you could have
with inside your battlestar galactica deadlock game and
also new skirmish objectives destroy the
station eliminate all defend transports destroy
the station and that was just season one but that was not all so they're in black
lab games enhance battlestar galactica deadlock
even more with visible marks on ships with the next
user interface upgrade they had damage overhaul the new visualization system a
revamped ui and menus to make it more cutting edge
and bringing this experience into the consoles
with not only playstation and xbox but also the release of the original
game on nintendo switch there's been war table animations an
updated blueprint screen and ship viewer with nice rendered
models of the ships that you could have inside battlestar galactica deadlock
and new sky boxes moving into its third year battlestar
galactica deadlock evolved even more with improved squadron
behavior colonial boarding operations send those
raptors in to board and disrupt the cylon or enemy ship there were
battle improvements the option to ftl retreat if things were
getting too hairy and it looks like you were going to lose
basically your skin in the middle of a game you add the action
the option of raptors to paint targets to enhance battle damage
with war driver new abilities active missile redirection and
squadron jamming there was carrier utility slots
and new squadron grouping options all this
around battle improvements as well let's not forget battlestar galactica deadlock
and a basis the survival type mission as well which
pitted you with a small fleet through 10 rounds of going out and
saving transports of stranded colonial citizens
in and around cylon space and bringing them back
to the 12 colonies in short a really enhanced story mode that's gone
on through the entire three years and i for one not only as a content creator
but a battlestar galactica fan are surely gonna miss it and i think
this game with the graphical enhancements that it's got
and it's ability to be on at least the xbox and playstation in its
new format it's a shame about the nintendo switch
however but you know if people aren't buying it then
there's got to be a monetary aspect to things it'll live on
as one of the great strategy games of the era now who knows what happens when
battlestar galactica gets reinvented with a different story arc
under peacock now ron moore um finished his
battlestar galactica deadlock in around 2007
2008 and that was a long time ago people still talk about it now as if it
was you know in common knowledge that's why i think this game has been so
popular and has been a good runner for slytherin and black lab not
only is it given something for the fans to earn to
but not only as it s satiated the appetite of those people who are honed
in strategy i've been ricardo check back for more
videos on battlestar galactica deadlock battlestar galactica armistice the new
dlc available on steam from september the 17th i believe or
september 24th for the general public but i think those people who have press
previews can put it on from the 17th onwards
as a result of which i'll be going through the campaign going through some
skirmish missions as well and looking at the ships of battlestar
galactica deadlock thanks very much for watching so say we
all and let's launch them vipers
you
