The Controller Online writes: "The creative minds behind F.E.A.R and No One Lives Forever have formed an independent studio they’re calling Blackpowder games and today we’re going to have a look at their first title. Betrayer is another game that is hard to nail down in terms of genre. It is played form a first person perspective, and there is some shooting, but Betrayer isn’t about killing hordes of enemies.

"Betrayer is not a game that you would expect from the people who helped to create the F.E.A.R. series, but it does just enough right to make you think that they could be on the right path. Perhaps, with a little more refinement to its core systems, a sequel to Betrayer could be something rather special. As it is though, Betrayer is a gorgeous game with plenty of atmosphere – but also a lot of frustration."
