Some fun to be found in combat; A few really cool looking bosses

An uninspiring trip into fantasy, Visually displeasing, Not enough to crafting system; could have been great, Skill trees don't provide enough difference, A truly half-hearted experience

Even on easy I died too much to really enjoy the game. I've never really liked games that made you hack your enemy many times and they just hit you a...

The FPS is next genish

It's a short; demon souls wannabe

Bound by Flame is the latest instalment from French developer, Spiders. They have had a fairly rocky history of late, most notably for their most recent title Mars: War Logs that was quickly forgotten about, as well as their involvement in the development of Of Orcs and Men , which while it had...

+ Inspired story with weighty decisions

- Voice acting quality varies

Only got this to keep me going while waiting for skyrim

Graphics; Boring

The PS4 in its current form still lacks a wide genre of titles that its predecessor contains. Considering RPG titles seem to be the current hot potato, I would have thought that a huge AAA blockbuster would have already launched for Sony's latest console.

This in all honesty wasnt a bad game. but it wasnt great either. the game had promise from the beginning. they couldve went so far with this game and gave it a lengthy and awesome story but no instead they gave this game a measly like 10 hour campaign and thats really it.

This game puts you right into the middle of the action. It has been a long time since I have come across a game that immerses me in it's story like this does. The fighting still is fun, not too challenging. Leveling is simply, crafting is made easy. Very well done.

Good character progression; some funny dialogue; fun combat..

...that gets repetitive; generic questing; story feels unfinished; poorly executed player choice

Developing an RPG in the west is tricky business, particularly after the success of Dragon Age: Origins. Spiders Studio has stepped up to the plate with Bound by Flame, an RPG that pits the player as a mercenary (named Vulcan, no matter which sex or even name you choose) trying to fight against the...

Always great to tailor gameplay to your preferences and watch your decisions throughout the game; no matter how small; have an impact on the overall story

Nothing feels that innovative; as if the developers hand-picked their favorite elements from various RPGs and worked them in

Bound By Flame is an RPG that's crept up on a lot of people with ninja like skills. There definitely seems to be two camps here and one that very inquisitive about Focus Home Entertainment's new entry into the RPG genre.
