There is a brand-new hero shooter on the market and despite entering such a competitive market, it seems as though this one already has the fun part nailed.

BLACK STIGMA is a “hero shooter with a diverse cast of characters” where players will be able to choose and customise a handgun of their preference to make their ideal killer character.

Upgrade your characters' abilities and choose a way to dominate the battleground, whether that is long-range precision shots to close-range brawls.

Developed by BoldPlay Games, BLACK STIGMA has now entered early access and better yet, it is completely free to try out courtesy of Steam.

“Kill or be killed — there’s no in-between,” the official Steam synopsis reads.

“In BLACK STIGMA, ruthless masters from rival syndicates clash in brutal battles for control of the city’s underworld.

Whether it’s long-range gunfights, close-quarters brawling, stealthy ambushes, or full-on chaos—every tactic is fair game. Your choices and strategy shape the outcome of every fight.”

By creating a one-of-a-kind weapon, you can leave your mark in style as you pick your battlefield role and play to your strengths.

With hero shooters such as Overwatch and Marvel Rivals to contend with, BLACK STIGMA has a lot to live up to but thanks to a variety of diverse modes, players will get to experience the deadly charm of every killer.

“From abandoned subways to secret hideouts and luxury rooftops—every map is crafted like a cinematic setpiece, plunging you deep into the shadows of a city built on blood and betrayal.

In this world of conspiracies and double-crosses, the only thing more reliable than your instincts... is your trigger.”

As of right now, BLACK STIGMA sits at a ‘mostly positive’ rating on Steam with one positive review reading:

“Honestly, I didn’t expect much but this turned out to be a hidden gem. The gameplay loop is satisfying and the chaos keeps it fun.”

Another agreed, adding, “Simple but very entertaining. Not perfect, but there’s always something crazy happening.”

BLACK STIGMA is now available in early access and is free to download and play on Steam right now.
