Unique, beautiful platformer
This is a very well made, well designed game with a very unique premise. It is short and there aren't a ton of enemies but the combat is intense. While not a hard game, veteran platform gamers will find some familiar mechanics and newcomers will likely need a few minutes to get used to the game. The graphics and visuals are impressive and create an engrossing atmosphere. The checkpoints are very close to each other so the game can be played in short increments. The game requires the player to keep torches lit to maintain "fire" power and to keep the "mist" at bay, and your character has a limited amount of time before the fire power runs out. It can be maintained or regained by slashing lit torches. Fire power gives your character special, powerful abilities like combos, projectiles, and healing. There is a cool little skill tree that is not overly complex and you can gain skills by gathering "points" from slashing jars, statues, or killing monsters. A fun addition is that much of the background is destructible when you have fire power. Find hidden areas by burning random stuff! The platorming is straightforward but still requires some skill. Boss battles are intense and challenging, just make sure you keep slashing torches to keep your fire power! It is a short, 3+ hour game but the developers valued quality over quantity. This is a must play for anyone who likes action games but would like something a little different. The story slowly develops but really keeps the player interested. There aren't really any instructions on how to play the game, but the game has tips that can be disabled at any time. Ther gameplay is easy to figure out, though, and this also adds to the mystery of the game. Highly recommended and hopefully, we get a sequel or expansion some day.
