Bound by flame
I sure know that I’m
not good when it comes to writing any kind of review.
But I’m just going
to stick to my opinion, due to the fact that I am not a professional reviewer
but I have played tons of games to know what I think about them.
Bound by flame
is a dark fantasy rpg game. You will play as Vulcan, you are a member of a
mercenary group called the freeborn blades, your job is to eliminate the vawes
of dead walkers (undead) Thats trying to invade camps everywhere and get rid
of mankind.
Trough al this Vulcan
has a demon infested into he’s brain.(and nothing more, he does nothing)
I’m just going
to go straight forward here!
The plot isn’t
strong at all, there is a lot of dialog, then I mean a lot of dialog, and yes u
can skip them.
The environment
is just as linear as the dialog and the maps are small. There really aren’t many
details here just like dragon age 2. And you are force pretty much to run around
the whole map more than once.
The only thing
that makes thing easier and makes you pull through and not think so much about
the environment, is the combat system. I like the combat system allot. There are many choices during your battles:
Heavy weapon, daggers, pyro, cross bow and traps. You can putt fire into your
sword and shoot fire balls. The battle isn’t just jumping in and slashing your enemies,
some situation makes you actually think which enemy would be better to get rid
of first. You still need to think, and there is timing here to, if you doge
your enemy attacks at the right moment you get a counter strike attack which is
the more powerful attack.
In every battle
u will have someone whit u of course, BUT they are totally useless in every way!
At least in
dragon age you could level up your character and control them. Here they can’t
be touched, they die after 2 seconds, they aren’t even good distractions! So
you will be doing all the work, and a tip, someone that is actually good having
whit you more than anyone else is the witch remember that.
So when you’re
entering a battle is only you! And the characters have pretty much zero
background stories, definitely not enough to feel close to my own character or
the other characters!
This game is
pretty much mission and battle, wich is funny do to the fact that your stuck between
schooises and able to form the ending of the game, so skipping the long and
boring dialogs aren’t a good idea.
The leveling up
system:
The leveling up system
is easy to understand, there is heavy weapon, daggers and pyro, the good thing
here is you will not get overpowered fast; it’s little at the time.
Which does make
this game challenging and I respect that. (Even if I am a salty gamer)
The other thing
about the character menu is that you can get better armor and better sword,
then you can putt what you want into your weapons that makes it stronger or
have any kind of resist (you have to choose from the options that is there, of
course) So you are able to adjust to the environments and the battles.
There is also
loot in this game, and it’s not hard to find, the loot contains items that you
can use to build more traps, make healing, mana potions, and ofc you need gold.
It’s easy to understand.
The bosses! The
bosses are the only thing in this game that looks good! The only thing that
would make me considers playing this game again! If you have the game on a higher
difficulty then I believe you would be in for a real challenge!
I love the way
they look and some bosses are hard even in easy mode!
And even if a
character assist you into the fight, remember it doesn’t Mather one bit!
The game is okay,
worth trying and not expensive, if they had really putt more time more thoughts
into the game and more ideas, the game would be a really great one.
Now the game is
just missions, combat and bosses.
One more thing
about the demon that’s stuck in Vulcan: No you won’t get demon power he’s just
talking when he feels like it. He does more work in the end of the game!
