Description


The Lightbringer is a poetic adventure/puzzle platformer with light combat elements, set in a beautiful world claimed by a vile corruption. Guided by your sister’s spirit, you must prevail where she could not. Cleanse the corruption, become The Lightbringer.

The world is under siege by a malicious corruption, targeting the ancient monoliths that gave power and light to these lands. As the chosen one, you have the ability to harness pure light energy from the air, energy that will aid you in cleansing the monoliths to bring back their light.

Explore, jump and fight your way through each level while gathering light motes. Every level functions like its own little world, and you’ll need to venture off the beaten path to find enough to cleanse the level’s monolith.

KEY FEATURES:


  • Old School Adventure
    The Lightbringer draws a lot of inspiration from earlier Zelda games, and is all about invoking that feeling of wanting to explore every nook and cranny.
  • Semi-isometric Gameplay
    With a rotatable camera in an isometric view, you’ll need to look at things from many different angles in order to find solutions to your obstacles. Remember: There’s often more than meets the eye…
  • A poetic journey
    Your sister’s spirit guides your entire journey, narrating the gameplay entirely in verse.
  • Hazardous Dungeons
    Explore dark dungeons full of danger. Watch out for traps, secrets and that pesky slime!

Fun but...

A 3D platformer where your goal is to go through each level without dying. The game is hard, but not necessarily in a good way. You have a limited amount of life and if you consume them all, you die and restart the level from from the beginning. But like all isometric game, perspective is a traitor and for a platformer it's get really frustrating. Thankfully the camera is totally controllable. Otherwise the level design is good and every level is different. The fighting system is okay, there are a limited type a enemies and you get the hang of it quite fast. There are a lot of collectible to gather in each level, and collect them all means some backtracking andbe very careful of potential hiding places. The story is good but hard to follow since is written and spoken in verse, and it could have been more developed. Bosses are all unique and pleasant to fight againts, maybe with an expection for the third because you walk and on ice, meaning that you slip. There are bugs, the most annoying is to loose all your life and die for no reason when you fall. In conclusion a platformer where you will die often. The gameplay could have been more polished, same for the story. I recommand it you buy it on sale.

No checkpoints

No matter how nice this game looks, if it is so easy to die. Slip off a platform, jump a bit too far or too close or miss an attack because of the weird controls. A level can take as long as an hour to complete and if you die near the end you've wasted all that time. This is for perfectionists. I have no patience for it, but someone may find it entertaining.

Fun simple zelda clone(ish)

Worth the price I paid (like 3 dollars) not sure I'd pay the full price though.
