Description
“Back in the earliest days, there was no sun and the world was dark. The heavens opened up and stars fell like beacons into the pitch black world, and they were known as “Embers”. Powerful and wise druids of a primordial race, “the Lightbringers," roamed the land searching for this luminous matter. They performed a ritual of awakening to call the “Embers” out of their deep sleep. Suddenly the world became bright, and the veil of darkness was lifted. The Embers were the embodiment of magical flame, light, and life, but as word spread about the sheer power of the Embers, they came to be hunted and captured…and so the War for Ember began…”

Nice little shiny RPG

Beautiful graphics, really inspiring battle music, good story, interesting environments. They really tried to make som annoying things better than others: You have one inventory for all, where you can compare your stuff easily, even while buying and selling. You can sell your stuff everywhere (but not buy everything everywhere), and get much fairer prices as from the stingy merchants in Baldur’s Gate or Skyrim. Crafting gives you things which are more useful than what you find, and things you find have actually names which give you a clue what they will do. I had loved to have more sidequests, but after all this is a »little« game, so this wasn’t that terrible either. How one can finish »everything« in 21 hours eludes me. It took me 58 hours, but that’s mostly because I love to fiddle with the inventory and because I’m such a slow player. Anyway, I loved it and had a really good time.

Not fun at all...

It only crashed once for me and was polite enough to do so moments after I saved. Some mechanics are a bit off, most distinctly how difficult it is to aim at a particular character in many cases. Graphics are nice other than being wierdly proportioned (characters appears large and the world tiny). As previously mentioned, the game should not ask you to name the character. The story idea has potential but the writing is quite bad. Everything feels tedious and predictable, except for the occasional WTF moments. There is nothing fun or interesting about the game and I completely regret having played it. I would recommend against playing it even if you get it free. This studio goes on my list to never buy from and I will be very cautious about trying another game from this publisher as well.

Bottom of the barrel

Title says it all. It's not bad mind you, it's just not one of those that will make the list of memorable RPGs in the next few decades. If you like western RPGss you MIGHT enjoy this, assuming you are really into fantasy and RPGs. A decent buy if you're bored with all the other RPGs in your library an want something new, if not innovative.
