Oh boy, if there are rage inducing titles, this one is sure amongst them. It begins by naming your character, that will be addressed as Vulcan either way. As the story goes by, you figure out you're posessed and the further you progress, you decide whether to fight it or embrace it. This could be a perfect eurojank title, if and only if they wouldn't attempt to soulsify the linear narrative. This should've been a basic linear RPG for up to 4-5 hours, but instead you spend 12 due to janky souls-wannabe mechanics. I get it, Dark Souls was at its peak, the DS2 just came out (some areas are "inspired" almost verbatim), but they failed miserably. If you've bought this and planning to beat it, prepare yourself to dive into community forums first, cause balance here is utterly broken and you'll need to stick to certain tricks (that feel more like hacks) just be able to progress. All this DS inspired jank only seems to be there to slow you down and make it look longer than it is. As o...

About This Game
In this RPG where all your choices lead to consequences, you will have to choose between unleashing the powers of the beast within and rejecting the demonic influence that wants to claim your humanity.
Freely develop your abilities and combat style through three skill trees: swing the heavy weapons of the Fighter, wield the sneaky dual daggers of the Ranger, or use the devastating flame spells of the Pyromancer.
Recruit companions who will live, love, hate and fight alongside you against the dreadful creatures of Vertiel, in real-time epic battles based on tactics and reaction.
The bigger the danger, the greater the temptation to draw on the demon’s power at the cost of your soul… which way will YOU choose?

Nice eurojank, you get fun for your buck. Amazing soundtrack.
My therapist says I need to "diversify my gaming interests" but jokes on her - I'm switching therapists to one who appreciates true art! The moment I booted up this DIVINE CREATION, I knew my life would never be the same. Forget Mass Effect's boring paragon/renegade nonsense - THIS is how you do character development! Forget Witcher, forget Dragon Age - Bound by Flame has the most EMOTIONALLY DEVASTATING romance arcs! Every choice matters! Do you embrace the flames and become a flaming badass demon lord, or stay human and... okay, the human path is less cool but STILL AMAZING! People who complain about the combat "feeling clunky" clearly have NO TASTE and probably think Call of Duty is peak gaming. I bought the soundtrack separately and listen to it during my daily 6-hour meditation sessions. My cat is named Vulcan and responds only to BBF dialogue quotes. If you don't like Bound by Flame, you simply don't understand TRUE ART. This game is for intellectuals, for people who apprecia...
cliche story, decent graphics, decent combat, uninteresting world and just feels the same game throughout
