Blacklight: Retribution (finally) comes to Steam

Much like Tribes: Ascend last week, this week is Zombie, Inc.’s Blacklight: Retribution, the free-to-play sequel to Blacklight: Tango Down. Also like Tribes: Ascend, there is also a DLC Starter Pack which gives you some boosters to get started, much earlier in the game as everything is progression based or requires microtransactions on your end.
