User Review : Bound by Flame

Bound By Flame - Unleash your inner demon

The story mixes elements or inspired by others as fantastic medieval fantasy Game of Thrones, the story unfolds in a continent called Vertiel and play're Vulcan, a mercenary or a mercenary company called free swords mercenaries hired by some scholars who are dedicated to studying magic to protect them during the celebration of an ancient ritual to change the course of the war taking place on the continent, where some sorcerers called the lords of the ice and armies of wandering dead are wiping out conquering everything and filling it contiente glaciers and freezing, plunging the world into an ice age, the ritual goes awry and a demon of fire is introduced to our hero, giving it flaming powers able to cash fight the lords of the ice, but clear power has a price and that is if we abuse our powers, and we ignore the demon over the account, he had just becoming more control of our character and even the physical appearance of Vulcan change

Graphically it is a game without fanfare comply with this paragraph, with good character models, good lighting and some quite achieved scenarios, some better than others, it is not a game that you will leave with their mouths open in graph, but neither will generally disliked linias

Now with regard to sound section, the game comes with the voices in English and a good dubbing by the actors, most fulfilled and interpret their characters well, not not expect such quality of the voice cast of Bioware game, but hey, is not a section that fails to play a ton or less, also comes well subtitled in Spanish and agile narrative makes us donot make heavy reading

As for the soundtrack, the theme life, namely that of the main menu, is a sublime and beautiful, emotive and epic theme, the rest of melodies are varied and stick with the situations that we encounter and the places we visited

The artistic section is very good at some things and some empty in others, for example the design of some enemies are sublime without being extravagant and tasteful, and change some settings are very poor, but good is only some timely place in worse places we have ever fought as the saying

Now the best part, the gameplay, the combat system drink a lot of The Witcher 2 and some Dark Souls, is well implemented, is dynamic, fluid, and the animations are quite good, whether the difficulty levels if they are balanced between if and offer a good challenge, the game requires us to be patient and know face to each type of enemy and know seize the moments when you have to dodge, block, and punch, can master three branches of skills, including mastery fighting with a two-handed sword with two daggers and the powers of fire, there is also a part where we can be stealthy and surprise in some moments determiandos distracted enemy and Vulcan also be manufactured booby traps to put on the floor and our enemies the pisen and a crossbow to attack distance

We may also recruit some companions throughout the adventure, and to have a relationship of friendship, rivalry and romance, but do not expect a depth as Dragon Age in this regard, although the system dialogs slightly like Dragon Age Origins, also one of the companions we can go together and can give orders about what combat stance adopted, but also without much DEPTH, but even so far as reflected in combat skills peers are quite useful

Another element that works very well is crafting, we can change and improve our armor and weapons, making healing and mana potions, arrows, traps, even recycle some armor that we will become obsolete or outdated and preserve their materials to invest in improving new or some other part of it as the greaves for example

In conclusion and complete the analysis, Bound By Flame is a good RPG, trying to give her lover's generated a role-playing experience that fills most of their feelings and looking forward to the genre, although it fails entirely the effort and effort you notice that has put the development team to provide a game conditions and good quality is noticeable, although I repeat do not always succeed because it is a game developed by a small study, with few resources and newly is starting in this.
