Serve and Protect

The title of the game is pretty clear on the concepts behind the gameplay. You are a border patrol officer tasked with ensuring that all entries and exits are legal. At the same time, it is your job to ensure that your country is safe by stopping crime in its motions. This means that aside from patrolling, you also have to deal with criminal organizations, wanted felons, illegal immigrants, and all sorts of passengers up to no good.

Here we also get to simulate the interactions with law-abiding citizens by checking their paperwork and confirming their identity and good nature. Most of the activities in the simulator are associated with the day-to-day of real border patrol units. Verifying documents, descriptions, validity of passports, and researching passengers is all part of the job. On top of those mechanics and the clearly methodical procedures and paperwork, following your intuition is also necessary to protect your country.

Conclusion

Black Border: Border Simulator Game is a game designed and developed with a very specific market in mind. Therefore, it might not be everyone’s cup of tea, maybe because it is a slow-paced game that revolves around player decisions throughout its entirety. And maybe because patrolling borders isn’t something very enticing to many people, or even attractive to bring in curious players. The gameplay simplicity and puzzle-like nature might also be something that eventually dissuades players from replaying the game since it also deviates from the traditional simulator genre.
