During the Golden Age of Piracy, Flint: Treasure of Oblivion is about Captain James Flint and his friend Billy Bones as they search for legendary treasure. Their capture sets the scene for a classic adventure full of betrayal and cunning, where the narrative starts. Although it draws from rich pirate lore, the execution is frequently generic and lacks the depth required to make it memorable.

The game tells stories like a comic book, with bright panels and speech boxes that make the story more interesting. This approach successfully brings the narrative to life, reminiscent of Comix Zone. However, players may find it difficult to fully understand the context of encounters due to the rapid-fire dialogue, which can detract from character depth.

Captain Flint is a charming anti-hero representing how pirates aren’t always sure what’s right or wrong. In contrast, supporting characters are often presented quickly and don’t have enough backstory to develop.
