Lovely game, charming and inspired.. I'm really enjoying it. The UbiArt engine once again did not disappoint, and the soundtrack is spot-on too. So relaxing. Razz

Combat is a tad simplistic, but works well considering the context. Everything is at its place, polished and ready to be explored. Me likey =)

Anyone knows if I can activate Amazon (which is considerably cheaper for me than buying region locked steam key ) key on steam? Yeah I know it still requires uplay but I wanted to have it in my steam library.

I'm loving this game, the visual style and music are just stunning. Combat is great too, but for me it feels too easy on normal and way too hard on hard. I've switched to normal to enjoy the game and not ragequit.

Even though this was obviously designed for the gamepad, I actually had a *lot* more fun with K/M because the mouse controls Igniculus - who is an integral part of gameplay. Using the analogue stick for him felt too clunky.

I only got tricked up when I was trying to slow down 2 enemies at once, by rapidly switching between them. ;p

Aye, agreed! This is one of the few cases where mouse controls feel optimal and not just an adaption despite the consolish nature, they did a good job. I'm alternating this game with Dark Souls, it's the perfect way to soothe the frustration.
The normal difficulty seems the right spot for me, I don't feel like I need to be stressed here. Very Happy

Possibly some of the worst writing ever. Should've hired a real poet to write the dialogue if they wanted to go that route.

10 chapters, and you can get some sidequests too.
5-6 hours long if you don't stop to grind your chars.
Also there is New game+ , and you can continue to explore the world after the credits roll.

6 hours? Damn that's short, even for a relatively unique game. I'll just get the scene release.

The biggest letdown was that although the game is short they were lazy enough to make the dialogs read only (no speech).

Took me more time than that, but I can't really say how much. Mr. Green

There are optional boss type enemies, there are some hidden places if you take your time to explore, chests and pages with some story bits. Enemy encounters are optional so it also depends how many battles you engage in and difficulty. You will also have to do some backtracking for some (two I think) of the side-quests.

Played on hard difficulty and skipped some of the enemies so I got a great balance regarding difficulty, pretty hard at some points, especially bosses. Great game overall, really enjoyed it. Smile

Great soundtrack also

Yeah, I got way more than 6 hours out of it, pretty much double that - mostly because I explored everywhere, fought every enemy and uncovered as many secrets as possible Smile In fact even "HowLongToBeat" pegs this at 11 hours plus, which is in line with how long it took me as it's simply not a 6 hour game at all.

Yah I'm around the 10-12 hour mark. I explored absolutely everywhere and fought every enemy I saw.

Loved every minute!

There“s one song I cant fight. A heard it a couple times during battles, once right after Aurora is converted and you get into a fight. Any clues?

I did 100%, loved the game Smile 9/10.

Gotta agree with that. Game's Poetry got on my fucking nerves..All the time Poetry, FUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!

My opinion so far:

THE GOOD

-Nice battle system
-The music!
-The Art!
 Spoiler:
 


THE BAD

-THE FUCKING POETRY!!,again,ANNOOOOOOYING!
-The counterattacks
-Some enemies can be a bit trolling near the end of the game
-Weaknesses not reminded after discovering them
-Short game
-No platinum trophy (For PS3/4 users)
-Part of the ending

LOL, I was confused about that too.

Counter-attacks and spells can save your ass, ask Rubella ^_^
