All of the previous games’ upgrades and camera abilities are back for this title as well, so as players take better shots and kill off ghosts quickly, they’ll earn more points to spend on upgrades to make their camera more powerful for the difficult enemies they encounter later on. The result is a very natural-feeling, intense battle with these ghosts as the player is snapping pictures and trying to keep their characters from being harmed. Due to the console’s tablet controller and how well it interacts with the TV screen, Black Water puts the player in direct control of the Camera Obscura, having them hold the tablet up to the TV while using its secondary screen as the camera’s viewfinder. Due to the fact that the games typically take place at sunset or at night, and that most of the ghosts are extremely volatile, the Fatal Frame series has become known for being one of the creepiest experiences in its respective genre.įatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water is a Wii U exclusive, which seems odd considering Nintendo typically only promotes family-friendly titles, but within minutes of playing, one can see why Koei-Tecmo picked this console for the latest entry in the series. These games typically send the player through condemned mansions, inns, forests, etc., and Black Water is no different. Each involves a set of characters that have the ability to see and communicate with ghosts that have died in horrible ways, and through the Camera Obscura – a special camera that can absorb a ghost’s presence – they can send them to the next life and defeat their presence affecting the normal world. Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water brings the Camera Obscura to life thanks to the Wii U tablet interactivity, and the result is one of the most terrifying and creative horror titles to date.įor those unfamiliar with the long-running Fatal Frame series, they’re incredibly dark Japanese horror games (think The Grudge, as an example) that date back to the PlayStation 2 days.
