About Blockpost

Blockpost is a blocky first-person shooter with a serious side. The graphics are made of colourful voxels, but the gameplay follows classic tactical PC shooters, where map knowledge and good angles matter as much as aim.

If you like round-based shooters where every life counts, this is one of the best options you can play directly in a browser.

It is aimed at players who already enjoy tactical shooters and want a lighter, blocky version they can open in a browser tab, and at newcomers who want to learn team play without a complicated setup. Players who prefer pure run-and-gun action may find the slower pace takes some getting used to.

How to play Blockpost

Pick a team and a mode, buy your weapons and head out. Team modes reward holding good positions and moving together, while deathmatch is faster and more forgiving. Between lives you can change your loadout in the buy menu: rifles, snipers, SMGs, pistols and grenades all have their place. Learn the main routes on each map, because the same choke points come up again and again.

Modes, maps and loadouts

Blockpost offers team-based modes and a faster deathmatch, each played on several maps with recognisable routes and choke points. Instead of a long unlock grind, much of the depth comes from the buy and loadout menu: rifles for all-round fights, snipers for long lanes, SMGs for close quarters, plus pistols and grenades. Because you can change your setup between lives, you can adapt to the map and to the way the enemy team is playing. The more you learn each map, the better you become at choosing the right weapon before you even see an opponent.

Think like a tactical shooter

Running and gunning works sometimes, but Blockpost rewards a slower style. Pre-aim the corners you are about to clear, crouch to steady your aim at long range and use grenades to flush enemies out of tight spots. Sound helps too: footsteps often give away an enemy before you see him.

Tips and strategies for Blockpost

Crouch before long-range shots for better accuracy.
Pre-aim corners and doorways.
Throw a grenade into a room before entering it.
Buy armour and a reliable rifle before experimenting.
Check the scoreboard to see which players to watch out for.
Stay close to a teammate in team modes so you can trade an enemy who wins the first duel.
Learn the two or three most common sniper positions on each map and avoid crossing their lines in the open.
