Bound By Flame

This is a game is like a rought diamond. It has good ideas but poor execution. Clearly it needed much more time but even so it was a nice experience.

good story fun video good could use i little updating but still worth it

PROS: Meaningful combat system that demands tactical planning; Crafting system with various upgrades to your gear; Visual design of (some) monsters is interesting (in bizarre French way). CONS: Graphics are eye-irritating and wearying (on any settings); Dialogs are very poor written, full of irrelevant swearing; Sub-menu system (access to inventory, skills and so on) is awkward and non-ergonomic; Plot is second-hand, and personalities are empty and flat; Leveling up is very fast and gives no feel of real progressing (due to the shortness of the game itself); Corridor gut-like locations full of artificial hold-ups (tedious cutscenes) to increase playtime; RPG elements are rather non-existent, choices are illusionary. FINAL WORD: Good combat system to make Witcher games learn and envy; everything else - not worth of your time. There are plenty of much better modern WRPGs around. P.S. Language glitch can be fixed simply by deleting the unneeded localization packs from Data folder.

Seem to have wasted my money on this. Just says the application is unable to start correctly. Maybe GOG will fix it one day but right now, avoid it like the plague

not perfect but a bit like risen or goyhic
