About Black One Blood Brother
Black One Blood Brothers is a tactical military shooter game where strategy and coordination are key. Joining the "Black One" unit, you become part of an elite force comprised of top operators from around the globe. Operating independently of any government, this unit works from the shadows, free from political games and diplomatic constraints. As the leader of this squad, you're tasked with executing complex missions where every decision could mean the difference between life and death.
Gameplay
CAMPAIGN MODE: OPERATION "SERPENT'S WHISPER"
During the adventure offered in the campaign mode through Operation "Serpent's Whisper", the story kicks off in response to the insurgent group "New World," which has launched devastating attacks across the globe within days. Your mission is to neutralize this threat and trace the funding behind these attacks through 20 increasingly challenging missions. Be advised, the loss of an operator is permanent!
GAMEPLAY & REALISM
Developed in collaboration with a former French Special Forces Commando Marine, "Black One Blood Brothers" stands out for its demanding and immersive gameplay. Command a squad of 10 operators, each with unique skills, and seamlessly switch between them to leverage their specialties in either first-person or third-person view. Success hinges on meticulous planning, optimal equipment management, and teamwork.
BATTLE PLANS & QUICK ORDERS
Implement precise action sequences for each squad member using a complex yet intuitive "Battle Plan" system. Organize your forces into multiple teams, coordinate their movements, and devise custom tactics to tackle any situation, or switch to real-time command with "Quick Orders" for dynamic decision-making.
HIGH-RISK MISSIONS
Undertake high-risk missions including target neutralization, hostage rescue, bomb defusal, and retrieval of secret documents.
CUSTOMIZE YOUR SQUAD
Customization is at the heart of "Black One Blood Brothers." Build your squad from the ground up, selecting each member's skills and arming them with the finest arsenal.
REPLAYABILITY & GAME MODES
With a variety of game modes (Dynamic campaign, Spec Ops, War, POW, Siege, Lone Wolf, Blind Ops) and a powerful, user-friendly map editor, "Black One Blood Brothers" offers vast replayability. Customize your missions, adjust difficulty, select your battlefields, and share your creations with the community through the Steam Workshop.

Update #1 : Campaign Launched!
Good day everyone! I am thrilled to be part of the first ever campaigns by Gamevestor, it’s a huge honor for me and Black One Blood Brothers. This is a unique opportunity to take the game to the next level and work with investors that will understand, respect, and support my vision.
What is Black One Blood Brothers? It’s a modern take on old-school tactical FPS: as a lead operator of an elite squad, your mission is to defeat a terrorist organisation that shook the world with simultaneous deadly attacks. You will be deployed around the world in a heart-pounding, 20 missions campaign named “Operation: Serpent’s Whisper”. Challenge your tactical sense, study the field, use your tactical map or lead your men from the ground through quick orders menu or directly through your voice, and neutralize the threat.
If you are eager for more, you can create your own maps, campaigns, and missions, and share your squads that you meticulously built on the Steam Workshop for others to enjoy. Almost everything can be customized to stick to your vision of warfare. Missions objectives can be randomized and the difficulty changed to your taste and gameplay. The game has an endless replayability potential.
Ever since I started working on it, the response from the community has been amazing. It has grown into a very involved and active base of players. Their feedback has been key for the evolution of the game and I am actively listening to their suggestions on our Discord.
While many of their feedback has been included into the game in a cohesive, immersive and logical way, this campaign, if successful, will take Black One Blood Brothers to the next level. Together, we will be able to achieve much more and to reach out to many more players and FPS fans.
I believe that we can bring something very special to the FPS scene. If you do too, let’s work together.
